Driving onto MSU’s campus on Tuesday evening, it was easy to tell that something was still amiss. After last Monday’s shooting, the MSU Union and Berkey Hall have been closed until further notice, and in the fading twilight, the buildings’ darkness was a reminder of what happened on February 13. As the crowd filed into the Breslin Center for the first men’s basketball game since that day, they found 8 empty seats in the Izzone, for the 3 killed and 5 wounded. After a moment of silence, the Spartan Brass played MSU Shadows before the Star Spangled Banner
Once the game actually tipped off, MSU looked like the basketball itself was weighed down by the heaviness in the air.
