The Michigan State Spartans begin another season of men’s college basketball tonight as the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks visit the Breslin Center. It marks a number of firsts for both teams including the first time the two will play one another.
Most recently, Chris Fowler was on the coaching staff at NAU, but left this past offseason to join former MSU assistant Dwayne Stephens staff at Western Michigan after Stephens was named the new head coach in April. Fowler played at Central Michigan in college before spending two seasons as a graduate assistant at Michigan State.
