But I don't think there's an MSU basketball team that I cared more about than this team. One of the youngest teams in the country. Lamar Peters suspended, comes back. gets better, and carries the team on his shoulders in so many different ways. Nick goes down tonight. Close games, tough wins, tough losses, lots of high quality defense. Effort, toughness, never give up.

There's a lot of things that we could complain about with this team. But this team and this group of guys worked their tails off this year. If you don't think that's the case, go watch some of the games from the first quarter of the season. We are light years ahead of where we were in November and December. This group of guys could be the one that lays the foundation for the future of MSU basketball. Lot of tough times, but this group really pulled on the emotional strings this year.

Good thing is we still get to watch them play in the postseason.
