This stat proves it.<\/h2>\n<p>If there&#8217;s one program that can be considered the class of the Big Ten on the hardwood, it would have to be <a href=\"http:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-basketball-targets-get-new-rankings\/\">Michigan State basketball<\/a>. For years, the Spartans have dominated on the court and Tom Izzo has owned the Big Ten.<\/p>\n<p>The Big Ten runs through East Lansing.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe me? All you have to do is check out Michigan State&#8217;s record vs. the rest of the Big Ten over the past two-plus decades. Spartan fan @SpartyWRLD on Twitter has been putting out some great stats recently and on Friday, he posted Michigan State&#8217;s record against every Big Ten team since 2000.<\/p>\n<p>And Michigan State has a winning record against everyone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MSU Basketball\u2019s Record vs every Big Ten team since 2000:<\/p>\n<p>Northwestern 33-6 (.846)<br \/>Nebraska 15-3 (.833)<br \/>Penn St. 31-7 (.816)<br \/>Minnesota 32-8 (.800)<br \/>Rutgers 11-3 (.786)<br \/>Iowa 29-13 (.690)<br \/>UofM 29-16 (.644)<br \/>Maryland 14-8 (.636)<br \/>Indiana 26-16 (.619)<br \/>tOSU 30-19 (.612)<br \/>Wisconsin 29-20\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/S325t30nhv\">pic.twitter.com\/S325t30nhv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; dunc \ud83c\udf0e (@SpartyWRLD) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpartyWRLD\/status\/1677292837149237251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There are only three teams in which Michigan State has a win percentage of under .600 against: Illinois, Purdue, and Wisconsin. This shouldn&#8217;t come as a major surprise. All three of those teams have been contending for Big Ten titles for years. Illinois did have quite the cold stretch in the 2010s, but pre-2010 the Illini were a major thorn in Michigan State&#8217;s side. Purdue and Wisconsin have always been a battle.<\/p>\n<p>I was fairly surprised by the record against Northwestern considering I feel like I can point out each one of those losses. Boo Buie is likely responsible for half of them and I&#8217;ll always remember that Kevin Coble-led upset in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>The Minnesota dominance is also slightly surprising. Although the Gophers aren&#8217;t good at the moment, they haven&#8217;t always been a walk in the park. An .800 win percentage against Minnesota is wild.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan State has also dominated teams like Iowa, Michigan, Rutgers, Indiana, and Ohio State over the years. I think the Iowa and Indiana records are surprising, too. Iowa seems to always win at home and Indiana is a basketball school.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s hope this trend of dominating the other Big Ten schools continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Izzo is a Hall of Famer for a reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5527,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187],"tags":[59,190,189,211],"class_list":["post-5522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-basketball","tag-featured","tag-michigan-state-basketball","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-tom-izzo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
