A year ago, Michigan State was fighting through a three-game losing streak and fans were starting to abandon ship. The Spartans had plenty of talent, but losing Josh Langford for the season and going on a mid-Big Ten play skid put a damper on the season’s outlook.
And then Kenny Goins delivered the quote of the season.
Michigan State then went on to win 10 of its final 11 games which included the Big Ten Tournament and that led to a Final Four run. The Spartans finished the season 14-2 following that epic quote from the senior leader and Michigan State may have gotten another one from a sophomore this time around during a rough stretch.
