Game Preview

It’s time for Michigan State to prove that it really can be one of the best teams in the country.

The Spartans, who have largely fallen short of expectations, have another chance by opening the NCAA Tournament against Mississippi State in a first-round game in the West Region on Thursday afternoon.

“I feel like everybody knows that we underachieved,” Michigan State graduate forward Malik Hall said. “We all know it, we see it all the time, people say it all the time, we know what situation we put ourselves in but we also know that we could completely right that situation by doing what we’ve got to do.”
