Last year, Michigan State basketball entered the 2023-24 season ranked as the No. 4 team in the country in the AP poll. This year, the Spartans will be on the outside looking in as they didn’t make the top-25 in the 2024-25 preseason AP poll.

While MSU didn’t place in the top-25, they did receive the seventh most votes of any program not in the top-25. The Spartans received 29 votes from the associated press.
