Does anyone else feel like a weight has been lifted off of this team following Saturday afternoon’s blowout win over Minnesota?
Michigan State was riding a three-game losing streak heading into Saturday’s contest, but the Spartans controlled the game from start to finish, sending the Golden Gophers home with a 79-55 defeat.
Effort was the name of the game as well as ball protection and rebounding. This team looked completely different from the previous three losses as the motivation to get back on track was evident — despite a scare in the first half when Kenny Goins went down with an elbow injury.
