Game notes: The Spartans’ early games against tough competition — No. 2 Gonzaga last week and No. 4 Kentucky on Tuesday — have gone a long way toward tamping down worries that Tom Izzo’s squad would be too short-handed to compete with top teams.
Much of that is thanks to the surprising starts from forward Joey Hauser and center Mady Sissoko. Hauser had a breakout game against the Wildcats in Indianapolis, putting up 23 points on 8-for-16 shooting, including four 3-pointers, while adding eight rebounds.
