Over the past two weeks, the Michigan State Spartans navigated one of the most intense gauntlets of conference play that I can ever remember. Over the span of 16 days, the Spartans played seven games, three of which were on the road and four of which were against top-five ranked opponents. The Green and White went 5-2 over that span, and in the process seem to have secured an NCAA Tournament bid.
I was eager to see what Michigan State was going to look like after a few days of rest, and after surviving the previous two weeks.
