On Wednesday morning, before any Spartans had even gotten up for their 8 a.m. classes, the MSU men’s club basketball team was up practicing at IM Sports-East. It’s not just a leisurely practice with a bunch of guys standing around talking about what they are going to do on the weekend, either.
It’s 6:30 a.m. and they are sprinting up and down the court dunking and popping 3-pointers. The team runs through high intensity drills, practicing its offense and defense and each and every one of them is giving it their all.
“I love basketball, just competition in general,” first year medical student and founder of the club team Robert Ray Jr.
