When a defeat comes wrapped in a victory, it’s the best of both worlds, as No. 3 Michigan State discovered with is 71-67 come-from-behind win against an aggressive Louisville team that brought and unblemished record into the Breslin Center.
The Spartans trailed by as many as 13 points before dropping the first half, 32-29, and were dutifully humbled at intermission by what felt like a losing effort in front of an energized crowd of 14,797. Michigan State rallied for their first lead when Kenny Goins, the former walk-on, emerged from the shadows to nail a mid-range jumper with 6:47 remaining.
