MSU Basketball ends season at No. 12 in final USA TODAY NCAA Coaches Poll of the season

The 2019-20 NCAA Men’s Basketball season has come to an abrupt end, and this week, the final basketball polls have been released. Michigan State ended the season at No. 9 in the AP Poll, and in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll they will end the season at No. 12.

The Spartans went on a tear to the finish the season on their way to earn a share of the 2019-20 Big Ten Regular Season Championship. They managed to knock off Maryland, Penn State, Ohio State, and Iowa to close out an unprecedented and historic season.

There is still a lot up in there when it comes to next year, but the Spartans currently have the fourth best odds to win the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. A lot of that will come down to Xavier Tillman Sr. and if he decides to return for one more season. Tillman was just projected to be a first round NBA Draft pick by SB Nation.
