Louisville, Ky. — Michigan State will be short-handed when it takes on Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday night.
Senior guard Matt McQuaid did not travel with the team after suffering a deep thigh bruise late in the Spartans’ victory over Texas on Friday in Las Vegas.
“It was kind of a freakish thing,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “The last minute of the game he got hit in the upper thigh. At the end of the game there were no problems. No problems on the bus. Then, all of a sudden, it flared up on the plane.
