Depth, chemistry, defense abundant for MSU basketball

MSU basketball’s 10-0 start can be chalked up to three things — depth, chemistry and defense. The three were on display Wednesday night as MSU defeated now 1-8 Maryland Eastern Shore 78-35.

Early in the season, the games should’ve been labeled the Denzel Valentine show co-starring Bryn Forbes. Now it’s a complete show with a lineup full of playmakers that runs 10-deep and then some.

Though Forbes and Valentine have continued to produce in their usual fashion, the rest of the gang has caught up in their own aspects of the game. If head coach Tom Izzo ever had trouble with his lineup, it’d be now.
