Well that was an OUTSTANDING game with an even better outcome. This recap will in no way do justice to this magical night and this incredible performance, but here goes.
MSU had to execute on a litany of basketball fundamentals to win this game, and they did what they needed to in almost every facet, and, ultimately, in just enough to win one of the biggest games in Izzo’s tenure.
MSU had to limit turnovers; they had seven for the game! MSU had to compete on the glass; they lost that battle, but not in too-crazy a margin (it wasn’t great, so Izzo will have something to complain about on film, but no egregious missed box-outs).
