Michigan State Faces Major Road Test at No. 4 UConn Exhibition

Michigan State men's basketball is preparing for a challenging final exhibition game against No. 4 UConn, following a 75-66 win over Bowling Green. Coach Tom Izzo views the upcoming game as a valuable test for the team's revamped lineup, which has lost seven scholarship players but retains veteran leaders like Coen Carr and Jaxon Kohler. Meanwhile, the Michigan Wolverines secured a 96-94 overtime victory against St. John's in an exhibition game, with key players Morez Johnson Jr. and Aday Mara returning to the lineup after missing earlier games. On the college basketball front, Duke's freshman Cameron Boozer posted an outstanding performance against Tennessee, scoring 24 points with 23 rebounds and six assists in an 83-76 win. Tennessee showed signs of improved interior offense compared to last season, but struggled offensively in stretches during the game. These exhibition games offer critical insights into team potential and player readiness as the college basketball season approaches.
