Michigan State men's basketball coach Tom Izzo talks prior to the first practice of the season for the Spartans. Izzo is entering his 25th season, coaching a team that many believe will enter the 2019-2020 year ranked ranked top in the country. 

Last season Michigan State finished with a 32-7 record, advancing to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament, and winning a share of the Big Ten regular season title and Big Ten Tournament championship. 

The Spartans will open the season Nov. 6, playing Kansas in the Champions Classic in Indianapolis.
