EAST LANSING – The thousand or so Michigan State students and fans gathered around Miles Bridges, his family, Tom Izzo and Sparty last Thursday were in no mood for a killjoy.
So when Casey Harrison, a reporter from MSU’s student newspaper, asked a sobering question in the middle of their celebration — and just after Bridges’ family had arrived on stage for a makeshift press conference — fans grumbled. A few booed.
“Has it ever come across your mind to get an insurance policy?” Harrison asked.
Izzo rescued the moment. “Good question,” he said.
It was.
