Michigan State basketball started the year ranked No. 4, now they are dead last in the Big Ten after dropping their second straight Big Ten game, this time to Nebraska on the road.
It’s been frustrating to watch for Spartan fans, and many of them seem like they’ve started to lose some of their patience with this program as it continues to struggle to start the season.
Below, you can see what fans have been saying about the 0-2 start in conference play on social media.

This team has so many issues but maybe give the 5-star big that you chased around all last summer a couple of minutes? I realize he has a long ways to go but 22 couldn’t score 10 points in an empty gym.
This is an absolute joke. Team has absolutely zero dog in them. Every time…

Looking forward to the post game where we hear the same BS for the millionth time.
“This is on me. Blame it on me.”
“We’re gonna get the football pads out.”
“This team shot it great all summer.”
“This program isn’t gonna be one that uses the portal much and maybe that’ll…

MSU started a guy today that had 0 pts and 3 rebounds
MSU is 4-5
Are you absolutely sure your 5* big man can't do better than that? pic.twitter.com/sSeHQfpqKW

Really strong game by their center too. Wish it was that easy to just grab a decent player to fit a glaring need in the off-season. Something that benefits the player and new team at the same time.
Someone ought to get around to inventing that.

And for the fourth year in a row we get to root for staving off a NIT invitation.
Hey, good defensive coordinator hire today though.

One of the best things about Tom Izzo is also holding his program back now. He has multiple guys on scholarship right now who are not Big Ten level players. His loyalty is admirable but replace Mady Sissoko and Davis Smith with decent transfers and things look way different

It's crazy – it's almost like there is this thing called the transfer portal where we could have addressed this issue, that we all knew was an issue coming into the season. https://t.co/zNIP3bdYJW

Tom Izzo speaking in the postgame presser about the lack of production from his bigs. I wonder whose fault that is pic.twitter.com/yjblUvA9Ll

I really hope I’m proven wrong but this isn’t a tourney team

Not even sure what Izzo can say at this point. If these guys haven’t responded up to this point, they aren’t going to

Michigan State basketball really went from a potentially top 5 team to a nobody in the matter of 9 games.

Michigan State “basketball” is so deeply offensive to me and everything I stand for.
— Le Tour de Sav (@B1Gsad) December 11, 2023
Obviously other sports are on the upswing (hockey, etc) but this is without a doubt the worst Michigan State MBB-CFB year I've endured in my time as a fan.
Any longer term fans, where are we at here? '03-04?
