East Lansing — There were a lot of different looks for Michigan State on Tuesday night. New looks. Strange looks, frankly. Lineups that Tom Izzo doesn’t even throw together in practice were out there on the court in a critical game in March with a Big Ten championship still on the line.
Yet amid the odd chaos, and midway through the first half, there was another look that caught Matt McQuaid’s eye.
It came on another of what has become the Spartans’ offensive staple in these lean times, with Izzo missing three regulars from his rotation and leaning heavily on a suddenly-hobbling star.
