East Lansing — On a gray afternoon in early April, hundreds of fans gathered around the Sparty statue on Michigan State’s campus, waiting to hear from the best basketball player on campus.
It was that afternoon when Miles Bridges told the Spartan faithful what they’d been dying to hear — he was forgoing a shot at being a lottery pick in the NBA draft and returning for his sophomore season at Michigan State.
As he said that day, he had unfinished business. Bridges came to Michigan State to win a national championship, and to him, the choice was simple.
