Other fans know this feeling, Michigan State Spartans basketball fans really do not. It was certain to happen eventually but after two decades of premier basketball under the legend named Tom Izzo, the current nightmare of a season still hits home like a freight train running through the middle of your head. And back again. It might seem tempting to just write the season off as a down year, one in which everything was off in a certain way from the get-go. Yet it really wasn’t, considering the strong start to the campaign the Spartans had. And it would be a huge mistake to think that with a more or less regular offseason everything will just fall into place again just like 2020-2021 never happened.
