Michigan State hockey is once again the top team in college hockey.
The Spartans have regained the top spot in the latest USCHO.com rankings that were released on Monday. Michigan State moved ahead of Boston College to be the No. 1 team in this week's national rankings.
Michigan State advanced to the Big Ten Tournament championship game with a victory over Notre Dame this past weekend. The Spartans are now 25-6-4 overall on the season and will play one more game before the NCAA Tournament begins in Saturday's title game matchup against Ohio State.
Four other teams from the Big Ten were included in this week's poll: Minnesota (No. 5), Ohio State (No. 9), Penn State (No. 13) and Michigan (No. 16). Of those teams, Minnesota and Ohio State are locks to join the Spartans in the NCAA Tournament next week, but Penn State and Michigan could both find themselves on the outside of the field depending on how things play out this week.

Two former Spartans fail to make the cut at the 2025 Rocket Classic
Two former Michigan State golfers had high hopes for their time at their hometown PGA Tour event, the Rocket Classic, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Ryan Brehm, a longtime PGA Tour veteran, and Ashton McCulloch, an amateur on the tour, both failed to make the cut at Detroit's PGA Tour event at the Detroit Golf Club. For Brehm, things were looking promising. After a one-under round on Thursday, he was four-under in his second round on Friday. A terrible finish ensued for Brehm, though, who ended the day even par. McCulloch had a week to forget. A six-over round on Thursday was parlayed with a two-over Friday round, making him eight-over on the tournament. Both former Spartans will not see the weekend in Detroit.
