EAST LANSING — Gabe Brown still feels like Gabe Brown.

Michigan State basketball hopes the sophomore can turn into this year’s Aaron Henry in the postseason.

Henry proved to be a pivotal force to last year’s Final Four run with his late-season surge. Now that he is beginning to show the same signs of consistency in leading the 12th-ranked Spartans to a share of a third straight regular-season championship, coach Tom Izzo has turned his attention to getting Brown back to the level he was playing at earlier this season when he was in the starting rotation.
