Michigan State Spartans
What... a... game! Michigan State advanced to the Sweet 16 in a wild game vs. Maryland by winning on a last second shot 85-83. MSU basically had the game won until the very end, when Maryland came back to take the lead. The Spartans were leading this game at one point by 15 points, but then, something horrible happened. Kalin Lucas, the Spartans best player, ruptured his achilles tendon. He will be out for 4-6 months and the Spartans will have to play in the tournament without him. This is a big blow to Michigan State, but if Korie Lucious plays every game like he played this one, it won't be so bad! Lucious called for the ball with 2 seconds left, a let the ball fly. SWISH!!! The Spartans are headed to St. Louis to play Northern Iowa, who beat Kansas in a great game. It will be a tough game for the Spartans, and without Lucas, who knows. Hopefully, Sparty can go on a run this year like they did last year. Hopefully... there are a lot of hopes for the Spartans, and hopefully they will fulfill them.

Nice post, Noah! You and my husband would have things in common, as he is also "all sports... all the time" especially when it comes to Michigan State. What do you think the Spartan's chances are of advancing in the tournament?
ReplyDeleteThe Spartans could probably make it to the Elite Eight by beating Northern Iowa. Then they would have to play the winner or the Tennessee-Ohio St. game. With Kalin Lucas out for the rest of the tournament, Sparty probably won't advance past that game. But if they do win that game... they might go all the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following!
sorry they didn't make it further....
