Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo has lead the Spartans to the NCAA Final Four for the sixth time in 12 years. Izzo has been reminding the team of the importance of defense to championships and the Spartans did a remarkable job of shutting down the athletic, talented, Tennessee Volunteers, winning 70-69. While I’m not [...] The MSU Spartans hung around for a two point victory against the University of Maryland Terrapins last night. At one point, they were up on Maryland by 16 points. But once point guard Kalin Lucas went down (and out of the game with an obviously serious injury), the Spartans lead evaporated.

USA Today reports that ticket sales for this year’s NCAA Final Four are down 30 to 40 percent from last year’s [...] The Spartans are getting ready for tonight’s Sweet 16 matchup against Kansas. Freep.com led the coverage with a story about advance-booked hotel rooms. Yahoo! Sports pre-game coverage might be more worth your time. Should be a great game tonight! Michiganders have a reason to be happy, at least until March auto sales numbers are released. Both the Spartans and Wolverines have been selected for the NCAA basketball tournament.
