East Lansing — For the last few weeks, Mark Dantonio has had a front-row seat at what resiliency can mean to a team.
The Michigan State football coach was in the stands as Tom Izzo and the basketball team brushed off multiple injuries all season and still marched to the Final Four, grabbing a Big Ten regular-season championship and tournament title along the way.
That’s why Dantonio appreciated being in Minneapolis last Saturday, a group of about 20 football players sitting courtside as well. It was a chance to see what a team can accomplish even under significant adversity.
