Michigan State women's basketball eliminated from NCAA Tournament after loss to NC State
And with that, Michigan State women's basketball's tremendous 2024-25 season has come to the a close. The Spartans fell to NC State in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 on Monday, 83 to 49.
This was a tough game from the jump for the Spartans, as NC State jumped out to a 27 to 9 start and MSU was never able to close the gap against the 2-seeded Wolfpack. Grace VanSlooten was the only Spartan to score in double-digits, finishing with 15 points.
Aziaha James led the way for NC State, dropping 26 points for the Wolfpack.
While the ending may have been disappointing, this was a remarkable season for MSU in Robyn Fralick's second year. They made the NCAA Tournament for the second time under Fralick and finished the season 22-10.

Kansas coach Bill Self underwent heart procedure after experiencing ‘concerning symptoms'

Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self was hospitalized after he experienced 'some concerning symptoms,' the school said in a statement Thursday. Self, who underwent a heart procedure, is expected to make a full recovery and is set to be released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital 'soon.' 'Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self felt unwell and experienced some concerning symptoms Thursday,' Kansas said in a statement. 'He was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he had two stents inserted. Jayhawks head coach Bill Self is seen on the sidelines during the second half of Kansas' 98-94 win over UCF in the Big 12 Conference tournament on March 12, 2025. AP 'The procedure went very well, and he is expected to make a full recovery. He is in good spirits and expects to be released from the hospital soon.' Self was also hospitalized midway through the 2023 season because of a blockage in his arteries, where the 62-year-old had a standard heart catheterization and two stents placed. The longtime Jayhawks coach responded well to that procedure, according to the University of Kansas Health System. Self's most recent hospitalization comes amid a busy offseason for Kansas after a disappointing season in which the Jayhawks got bounced in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Kansas head coach Bill Self yells during the Jayhawks' 81-65 win over Villanova in the Final Four on April 2, 2022. AP Self said his program has started to take a different approach regarding acquiring talent from the transfer portal this year by shifting away from the traditional rankings. 'It seemed like, to me, this year we emphasized more not what other people thought of rankings and stuff like that,' Self told 247Sports this week. 'Not that that was our emphasis before, but the appearance is, 'Well, you go out and get the guys that are the highest rated guys that are in the portal,' which is good. You get Hunter. That's a great get. 'But I think the emphasis was more on what we needed to do to allow us to play as athletic and to play the style that best suits us and best fits me for winning, and I think we were actually able to do that.'

Michigan State football linebacker Jordan Hall talks about trusting the process at MSU

When Jordan Hall first arrived on campus in 2023, he was a top-200 recruit in the country and flashed some ability right out of the gate. In 2024, he thought he would have his coming-out party as the starting middle linebacker, calling plays for the Michigan State defense. Things changed when the Spartans opted to bring in Wisconsin linebacker Jordan Turner. At the Big Ten Media Days this week, Hall talked about MSU's decision to bring in Turner. According to Hall, in a video recorded by Spartans Illustrated, MSU defensive coordinator Joe Rossi was very transparent about why they brought in Turner to be the starter last year, and how he thinks Hall can rise to that level. In a college football landscape that very commonly sees players in that position transfer immediately out of the program, Jordan Hall explained that he instead decided to trust the process and the coaching staff and stay at MSU. You can watch Hall talk about the Turner transfer and the conversation he had with Joe Rossi below: Contact/Follow us @The SpartansWire on X, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan state news, notes, and opinion.

Florida point guard Boogie Fland sidelined for summer workouts following sports hernia surgery

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida point guard Boogie Fland is recovering from sports hernia surgery, and coach Todd Golden expects the Arkansas transfer to be full speed by the time fall camp begins in September. Speaking at a booster event Thursday evening, Golden said Fland had surgery July 3 and will be sidelined up to six weeks. He has missed the last three weeks of summer workouts. 'He'll be back when school starts,' Golden said. 'He could have played through it, but it made more sense to get it taken care of so he didn't have to worry about it during the season.' The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Fland averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 21 games with the Razorbacks last season. The freshman from New York averaged nearly 32 minutes a game despite missing time with a right thumb injury that required surgery. He returned for three postseason games before entering the NBA draft. He withdrew his name from consideration before visiting Gainesville and signing with the defending national champions in May. Fland joined Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee and Ohio University transfer AJ Brown in Golden's revamped backcourt. The trio is expected to replace Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin and Will Richard. The Gators also lost fellow guard Denzel Aberdeen to Kentucky. With Golden at the helm for his third season in Gainesville, the Gators finished 36-4 and beat Houston to clinch the program's third national title. They won their final 12 games, including four in the NCAA Tournament in come-from-behind fashion. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
