KEY GAME INFORMATION

RUTGERS: Last season: 15-19, surprised many by reaching quarterfinals of Big Ten tournament.
Nickname: Scarlet Knights.
Coach: Steve Pikiell.
Conference: Big Ten.
Who's gone: Guard and leading scorer Corey Sanders opted for the NBA and was not drafted. G Mike Williams, F DeShawn Freeman, F Candido Sa, F Matt Bullock and G Souf Mensah.
Who's back: Sophomore guard Geo Baker started 29 games as a freshman, averaging 10.8 points and 2.2 rebounds. Among Big Ten freshmen, ranked top five in minutes, assists and 3-point field goal percentage. Junior forward Eugene Omoruyi started the final seven games, averaging 7.9 points and 5.0 rebounds. Junior swingman Issa Thiam started 33 of 34 games, averaging 29 minutes, 7.0 points and 4.4 rebounds. Graduate center Shaquille Doorson made his four starts in the final five games. He averaged 12 minutes, 1.8 points and 2.9 rebounds. Sophomore center Mamadou Doucoure started 29 games, averaging 2.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13 minutes.
Who's new: Sophomore G Peter Kiss, who averaged 13.3 points and 5.6 rebounds as a freshman at Quinnipiac, is eligible after sitting out a transfer season. Freshman center-forward Myles Johnson will play after redshirting last season. The Scarlet Knights have three freshmen who should see action: guards Caleb McConnell, Montez Mathis and swingman Ron Harper Jr. McConnell averaged 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals as a senior SPIRE Institute in Ohio. Mathis was a consensus four-star recruit at John Carroll High School in Baltimore. Harper averaged 20.8 points for Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey. JUCO transfer F Shaq Carter will see action.
The Skinny: Rutgers has not been to the NCAA Tournament since 1990-91. It has only had five winning seasons since that time, the last in 2005-06. Since joining the Big Ten in 2014-15, it has won nine regular-season games. No wonder Vegas says their odds of winning the national title are 6,000-1.
Expectations: They lost a little too much and they are too young. A .500 season would be great.

MICHIGAN ST: Last season: 30-5, won Big Ten title and lost in second round of NCAA Tournament.
Nickname: Spartans.
Coach: Tom Izzo.
Conference: Big Ten.
Who's gone: Miles Bridges (NBA), Jaren Jackson (NBA), Tum Tum Nairn, Gavin Schilling, Ben Carter.
Who's back: Nick Ward entered his name in the NBA draft before deciding to stay in school for his junior season. The 6-foot-9, 245-pound forward ranked third on the team last season with 12.4 points and first with 7.1 rebounds. Junior point guard Cassius Winston trailed only Bridges in scoring, averaging 12.6 points a game, made a Big Ten-best 49.7 percent of his 3-point shots and had a team-high 6.9 assists per game. Junior shooting guard Joshua Langford averaged 11.7 points and showed the potential to do more, including his 23-point performance against North Carolina.
Who's new: Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo said at least two freshmen will play right away: Aaron Henry, a 6-6, 210-pound forward, and Foster Loyer, a 6-foot point guard.
The Skinny: The Spartans are No. 10 in the preseason poll because they have a lot of experience, which they hope will help the program advance past the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015 when Izzo reached his seventh Final Four.
Expectations: Las Vegas oddsmakers have Michigan State as a 35-1 shot win the NCAA Tournament, odds that are tied with rival Michigan and trail 11 schools.

PREVIEW

No. 10 Michigan State trying to replace Ward as Rutgers visits

It hasn't really been 100 years since the last time Michigan State and Rutgers played each other -- it just seems that way to Tom Izzo.

The Spartans coach led his team to a win at Rutgers back on Nov. 30 to open Big Ten play, which accounts for the long gap between meetings. But the changes No. 10 Michigan State has endured since that time makes it seem even longer.

In late January, Michigan State lost guard Joshua Langford for the season due to a left foot injury. On Sunday night in a win over Ohio State, junior center Nick Ward suffered a hairline fracture in his left shooting hand, requiring surgery and an indefinite absence.

"Nick had 20, Josh Langford had 14," Izzo said of the first game against Rutgers. "That's 34 points we're gonna make up for. But at the same time, remember that Matt McQuaid didn't play in that game."

McQuaid is back, of course, but this will be the Spartans' first chance to see what life is like without Ward, who is averaging 15.1 points and 6.7 rebounds a game.

His absence puts even more pressure on McQuaid and junior guard Cassius Winston, while sophomore big man Xavier Tillman moves into the starting lineup for Michigan State (21-5, 12-3 Big Ten). He'll be spelled by freshman Thomas Kithier, who has played sporadically this season but has fared well when called on. Freshman forward Marcus Bingham Jr. could also see more playing time, as well as freshman wing Gabe Brown.

"I think all of our guys this morning understood that I don't need Cassius to go from 19 to 28 points, I need Cassius to go from 19 to 21 maybe," Izzo said. "I need another guy to go from 10 to 12, I need another guy to lock down a little better and hold their opponent that's averaging 15 to maybe 13. There's a lot of ways you can come up with the 15-point differential, and the rebounding differential.

"Is it gonna be easy? No, things haven't been easy around here. We're just gonna keep the same path, only maybe learn from the past and try to figure out."

Rutgers (12-13, 5-10) is looking for its own sort of bounce-back following a crushing last-second defeat at home to Iowa, which got a banked 3-pointer from the corner at the buzzer by freshman Joe Weiskamp to erase Geo Baker's go-ahead three just seconds earlier.

Rediscovering the positive vibes will be a challenge for the Scarlet Knights, who have won just one of the last five games after a three-game winning streak.

"I love the enthusiasm around our program," Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell said. "Our guys keep getting better. There are some exciting opportunities coming up with some huge games in front of us.

"We're on to the next challenge. Michigan State is the best team in the league. They've got really good players and a Hall of Fame coach. They'll be ready and well coached. They play really good at home. It's unfortunate for them that they have some injuries, but they have some very talented players ready to step in off the bench as well."
