COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Now this is the team we all expected. This is the team that made school history as the first to ever be the preseason No. 1. This is the team with the reigning Big Ten player of the year and a Hall of Fame coach, the team that won 32 games last year and advanced to the Final Four.
This is the Michigan State we all expected, the one that could roll into a raucous road environment against a top-10 team, dominate from start to finish and prevent said team from winning a conference championship.
