Spartan Basketball News and Analysis
Since wolves are a protected species in the state of Michigan, the MSU Spartans decided to bag themselves a small pack from Raleigh. It was a great hunt as the Sparty men destroyed and manhandled NC State 81 to 58. The Spartans move to 5-1 on the season, while the Wolfpack fall to 4-2.
Coach Tom Izzo must have done something, because the Spartans from the tip off looked very hungry and played with more passion than they have the entire season. Goran Suton looked really sharp, pumping in the team’s first 12 points. By the time the Wolfpack knew what hit them, they were down by double digits. Drew Neitzel then decided to take over and pumped in some big time shots. In fact, for the game, he went an impressive 7 for 10 to lead all scorers with 17 points.
Granted, the Wolfpack played a lot of basketball as of late. Perhaps they had tired legs. But come on, when you’re 19 to 20 years old, the only thing that should be tired in your body is your liver from all the parties. The Spartans simply showed that when they play with passion and focus on both ends of the court, namely defense, they can destroy any team in the land.
This game was in honor of legendary coach Jimmy V. In 1986, I wrote an english paper on the 1983 NC State national championship game. In fact, I was able to present it to my english class in high school. To me it was the greatest college basketball game I have ever watched on TV. To this day, it is still at the top in my books. Long live the legacy of Jimmy V!
