Locked On Spartans - Daily Podcast On Michigan State Spartans Football & Basketball

MSU basketball has a (maybe big) game this weekend against Ohio State that will have MSU bracketology implications. What cushion would a win give to MSU, and just how damaging a loss be for the Spartans? We also look at Bruce Thornton, Zed Key and Jamison Battle to see what the Buckeyes are all about too.

We also get to MSU hockey's huge series against Ohio State, whether or not MSU vs. Notre Dame in 2026 will be upset watch and why, JUST WHY, are we so disappointed with Tuesday's loss.
