Michigan State is ready to put 2023 in the rear-view, and it’s getting a head start.
On Tuesday, the Spartans will officially welcome new head coach Jonathan Smith, who led the Oregon State Beavers to an 8-4 record after going 10-3 last season, the third double-digit win season in Beaver history.
The press conference will be aired live on Michigan State’s athletics YouTube page, which you can watch at the top of the page at 12 p.m.
Naturally, Smith will replace Harlon Barnett, who took over as interim coach following Mel Tucker’s firing with cause earlier in the season.
