Washington — People have been trying to put a label all season on Michigan State.
Even as the injuries started to pile up, beginning with Joshua Langford, who played his final game back on Dec. 29, the Spartans just kept winning.
It was getting hard to figure out. Michigan State won seven in a row after Langford went out of the lineup with a foot injury and might have looked even better without him. Before that, there were three games without Matt McQuaid and Kyle Ahrens battled back problems all season until he was finally felled by an ankle injury in the Big Ten tournament championship game.
