EAST LANSING — There are too many places to start, if we’re being honest, too many good story lines to cram in after Sunday afternoon at the Breslin Center, where Michigan State basketball beat Michigan basketball, 70-64, to almost assuredly earn a berth in the NCAA tournament.
That should be the story. It’s stunning, what these Spartans have done, especially if you remember what happened three weekends ago on this same court, when MSU got run out of its empty gym by Iowa.
Who saw Tom Izzo keeping his 22-year tournament streak alive after that 30-point loss?
