October 29, 2024: Michigan State finished its last preseason tuneup against the Ferris State Bulldogs at the Breslin Center with a 85-67 victory. There were a lot of things to like about what we saw and a few negative aspects to the team.

On the positive side we saw Frankie Fidler display what looks to be his scoring acumen. The freshmen tandem guards of Kur Teng and Jase Richardson were fantastic and will be tough for Izzo to keep off the floor. Coen Carr brought a new level to his game as did Jaxon Kohler.

As for negatives, Jaden Akins continues to struggle offensively getting into the lane and consistently hitting shots. The rest of his game was sound but at some point he needs to figure out his offense and role. Also, the interior defense provided by the centers was overall dreadful and hopefully will get cleaned up before they start taking on tougher competition.
