Michigan State is a wagon.
Izzo is going to have to try extra hard to manufacture the annual winter crisis.
Jordan Scott is a complete game wrecker. He has spent time on five different future NBA players this half and nobody can beat him even momentarily.

MSU fans, we deserve a week like this. We deserve a life like this.
