Spartans No.1 For 1st Time Since 2000

18 Nov, 2013

Michigan State made the one-step move to No. 1 by beating Kentucky in the 1 vs. 2 matchup last week.

It’s the third time the Spartans have been atop the poll. They have to hope they can make a run as No. 1 that lasts longer than the other two, which were both for two weeks.

Michigan State’s first time on top was during the 1978-79 season, one that ended with a national championship. The Spartans were led by Magic Johnson and Greg Kelser.

The next time was during the 2000-01 season, one that again ended with the Spartans in the Final Four only this time they were defending champions going for a repeat. That team featured Jason Richardson and Zack Randolph.
