Five Final Fours in 11 Years Michigan State is making its nation s-best fifth trip to the Final Four in the last 11 years, all under head coach Tom Izzo. MSU is the first school since North Carolina to appear in the Final Four five times in an 11-year span (UNC: 5 times from ). Overall, Michigan State is making its seventh appearance in a Final Four (1957, 1979, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2009). MSU joins Cincinnati, Duke, North Carolina and UCLA as the only schools to appear in five Final Fours in any 11-year span. The Spartans are 4-5 in Final Four action, and won the national title in 1979 and Michigan State s seven Final Four appearances rank ninth all-time. 2. Izzo s Recruiting Promise Every four-year player recruited by Tom Izzo has appeared in at least one Final Four before leaving Michigan State. In total, 53 Spartan student-athletes have been a part of a Final Four squad. 3. Izzo And The Final Four Tom Izzo s five Final Four appearances rank tied for seventh all-time and tied for third among active coaches, trailing only Mike Krzyzewski (10) and Roy Williams (7). Izzo also ranks tied for first all-time among Big Ten coaches with Indiana s Bob Knight. In addition, Izzo is one of only eight coaches in NCAA history to take the same school to at least five Final Fours. 4. Playing Close To Home Michigan State is in the unique position of playing in a Final Four in its home state. The Spartans are just the 13th team in Final Four history to play within their state borders, becoming the first squad to do so since Duke played in Charlotte in With Michigan State s home court, the Breslin Center, standing 91 miles from Ford Field, the Spartans will be playing the closest to home of any Final Four team since Kansas won the 1988 championship in Kansas City. Nine Spartans hail from Michigan, including Detroit-area natives Kalin Lucas, Durrell Summers and Jon Crandell. Four other Spartans are natives of bordering states Ohio or Wisconsin. The only other time that Michigan State played NCAA Tournament games in the state of Michigan came in 2000, when the Spartans captured the Midwest Regional with come-from-behind wins over Syracuse and Iowa State at The Palace of Auburn Hills. 5. Big Ten In The Final Four The Big Ten has been well represented over the last 11 years in the Final Four. The Big Ten and ACC lead the nation with 10 teams in the Final Four since 1999, followed by the Big 12 and BIG EAST with six appearances and the Pac-10 and SEC with four trips.

MSU In The NCAA Tournament Michigan State is making its 23rd appearance in the NCAA Tournament with a record of MSU has made seven trips to the Final Four (1957, 1979, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2009) and captured the NCAA Championship in 1979 and Two Titles Not Too Shabby Michigan State is one of just 14 schools to have won two or more NCAA Championships. Cincinnati, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Louisville, North Carolina State, Oklahoma State and San Francisco join MSU with two titles. Only Duke (3), North Carolina (4), Indiana (5), Kentucky (7) and UCLA (11) have won more titles. At His Best When It Counts Tom Izzo ranks third among active coaches for the best NCAA Tournament winning percentage at.750 (30-10). Duke s Mike Krzyzewski ranks first at.763 (71-22), followed by Florida s Billy Donovan at.759 (22-7). Izzo ranks just ahead of North Carolina s Roy Williams at.746 (53-18). Spartan Opponents In NCAA Tournament Eleven Michigan State opponents made the field of 65 for the 2009 NCAA Tournament, including Big Ten foes Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin and non-conference opponents Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma State and Texas. The Spartans were a combined 13-4 against the 11 teams in the regular season. MSU As A No. 2 Seed This is the second time in school history that Michigan State has been the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. In 1979, the second-seeded Spartans received a first-round bye before defeating No. 10 Lamar (95-64). In the regional, MSU beat No. 3 Louisiana State (87-71) and top-seeded Notre Dame (80-68) in Indianapolis. In the Final Four in Salt Lake City, MSU defeated Pennsylvania (101-67) in the national semifinal, before defeating previously undefeated Indiana State (75-64) in the championship game Similarities Thirty years after Michigan State won its first NCAA Championship, the 2009 Spartans can look back for a few good omens. For example, the only other time MSU has been a No. 2 seed came in And, just like in 1979, the Spartans won their regional in Indianapolis. MSU In The Midwest Region Michigan State made its seventh appearance in the Midwest Region. The Spartans advanced to the Final Four in 1999 and 2000 as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest. MSU also played in the Midwest in 1985, 1986, 1992 and Exclusive Company Michigan State ranks sixth among all schools in NCAA Tournament winning percentage for teams with at least 20 tournament games. MSU s.691 winning percentage (47-21) trails only Duke (.746, 88-30), UCLA (.734, 94-34), Florida (.722, 26-10), North Carolina (.719, ) and Kansas (.694, 84-37). MSU s 47 tournament wins rank ninth in NCAA history with Georgetown and second among Big Ten schools, behind Indiana (60). Brilliant Under Short Rest Under head coach Tom Izzo, Michigan State has a spectacular 14-2 record in the second game of a weekend in NCAA Tournament play. The Spartans only two losses have come when playing a top seed in an opponent s home state, falling to No. 1 Texas at the 2003 South Region Final in San Antonio and losing to No. 1 North Carolina in the 2007 second round in Winston-Salem, N.C.

7 Nix and Sherman will join the Spartan frontcourt in Spartans Add Two Quality Big Men Michigan State men s basketball head coach Tom Izzo announced Nov. 12 that two players have signed National Letters of Intent to attend Michigan State next fall and play for the Spartan basketball team. The signees include Derrick Nix (C, 6-9, 275, Detroit, Mich./Pershing) and Garrick Sherman (C, 6-10, 235, Kenton, Ohio/Kenton). Derrick Nix (C, 6-9, 275, Detroit, Mich./Pershing) Recipient of 2009 Hal Schram Mr. Basketball Award... Averaged 16 points and 12 rebounds as a junior at Pershing High School, playing for Coach A.W.

Rated the No. 117 player in the nation by Rivals.com, including the No. 16 center... Played for Detroit Murray Wright as a sophomore... Plays AAU basketball for The Family. Izzo On Nix: Derrick Nix s greatest attributes are his toughness and great hands. He has also played for great programs at both the high school and AAU level, so we know we are getting a well-coached player who is very coachable and wants to get better. Derrick is an intriguing player in that his contributions will rely on his conditioning and his ability to get to a good playing weight. If he can make the same commitment that players like Zach Randolph and Draymond Green made, we believe he has all the skills necessary to succeed. One of the things we like best about Derrick is that he is passionate about the game and he really wants to be at Michigan State. With his knack for getting every loose ball, his great hands and very good footwork, we believe that he is a diamond in the rough. Garrick Sherman (C, 6-10, 235, Kenton, Ohio/Kenton) Averaged 23.3 points, 15.5 rebounds and 5.0 blocks as a junior at Kenton High School for Coach Terry Rowe, shooting 68.0 percent from the field...

Plays AAU basketball for the Columbus Basketball Club. Izzo On Sherman: Garrick Sherman is a very well-rounded big man, with the ability to shoot, rebound and block shots, as well as being an excellent passer. Because of where he played, he didn t get some of the early recognition that other players received, but we liked what we saw. He has great skills, very good timing, a tremendous work ethic and he is a very intelligent player that does all the little things. His potential to contribute initially will be based on his ability to adjust to the competition at the Division I and Big Ten level. Big G In The NCAA Goran Suton is averaging 15.7 points and 10.7 rebounds in his last six NCAA Tournament games, scoring 23 against Memphis in the 2008 Sweet 16 and grabbing 17 rebounds vs. Robert Morris in the 2009 first round. He s grabbed eight rebounds or more in eight straight tournament games. MSU Basketball Notes MSU s Ford Field History Michigan State has played two previous games at Ford Field. On Dec. 13, 2003, a world-record crowd of 78,129 witnessed Michigan State play Kentucky in The Basket- Bowl. The Wildcats won the contest, Earlier this season, No. 1 North Carolina defeated Michigan State, 98-63, as the Tar Heels took advantage of a Spartan squad without injured center Goran Suton and a physically limited Delvon Roe. Just Like Football With football programs across the country beginning spring practice, it s interesting to note that Michigan State is the only school to finish the 2008 football season in The Associated Press Top 25 and advance to the Final Four.

It is the fifth regularseason Big Ten Championship for head coach Tom Izzo, as he directed the Spartans to four-straight league crowns from It marks the first outright crown for the Spartans since Overall, it is Michigan State s 11th Big Ten title since joining the conference in 1951 (1957, 1959, 1967, 1978, 1979, 1990, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2009). Michigan State became the first conference team to win the Big Ten by four games since Minnesota won the league by four games in 1997, but was later forced to vacate the title due to NCAA sanctions. Spartans Claim Major Conference Awards With team success comes individual accolades, as Michigan State claimed the Coach of the Year, Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards. Tom Izzo earned Coach of the Year honors as voted on by the coaches. Kalin Lucas was voted Big Ten Player of the Year by both the media and coaches and Travis Walton was chosen by the coaches as the Defensive Player of the Year. Michigan State becomes just the second program in league history (since 1984) to win all three awards in the same season, joining Illinois in Rising To The Occasion Senior Travis Walton picked a great moment to have the best offensive game of his career. The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year scored a career-high 18 points in the second round of the NCAA Tournament against USC. It marked just his fifth double-figure scoring effort of the season and the first since Jan. 10. In his previous seven NCAA Tournament games, Walton had totaled 15 points. The scoring outburst, however, was not a total surprise as Walton did score 16 points in back-to-back games earlier this season at the Old Spice Classic against Maryland and Oklahoma State. After entering the tournament averaging 5.0 points, Walton is averaging 7.0 points in 2009 tournament play. Cranking Up The Defense Michigan State has won 12 of the last 14 games thanks in large part to great defense. Over the last 12 games, the Spartans are holding opponents to 58.9 points per game, allowing teams to shoot just 40.4 percent from the field and 27.5 percent from 3-point range. Only six teams have scored 60 points and just two have scored 70. Both teams to score 70 points or more defeated the Spartans. Coach of the Year For the second time in his career, Tom Izzo has earned Big Ten Coach of the Year accolades. Izzo earned the award in a vote of his coaching peers, while Penn State s Ed DeChellis took the media vote. Izzo previously was recognized in 1998, his third year directing the Spartans. MSU is holding its last 14 opponents to 58.9 points per game. MSU Rebounding Under Coach Izzo In Tom Izzo s 13 full seasons at Michigan State, the Spartans have led the Big Ten in rebounding margin nine times and finished second three more times.

9 Player of the Year Sophomore Kalin Lucas was voted Big Ten Player of the Year by both the league s coaches and media. Lucas becomes the third different Spartan of the Coach Izzo era to earn Big Ten Player of the Year honors, joining Mateen Cleaves (1998 and 1999) and Morris Peterson (2000). He is the first Spartan to earn the accolade from both the coaches and media since Since 1985, he is just the seventh sophomore to capture the honor, joining Indiana s Jay Edwards (1985), Ohio State s Jim Jackson (1991), Purdue s Glenn Robinson (1994), Cleaves (1998), Illinois Frank Williams (2001) and Indiana s Jared Jeffries (2002). In conference play, Lucas ranked second in the league in scoring, averaging 16.5 points per game. In league road contests, he raised his scoring average to 18.0 ppg, as MSU established a school record with eight conference road wins. He was MSU s leading scorer in 11 of 18 Big Ten games. Defensive Player of the Year Travis Walton was voted Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year by the league s coaches. He becomes just the third player in Michigan State history to earn Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors, joining Ken Redfield (1990) and Eric Snow (1995). The New Fire And Ice During the Michigan State student-athlete press conference the day before MSU s second-round game against USC, Travis Walton and Kalin Lucas were asked to describe their complementary styles of play. Raymar Morgan jumped in and called them Fire and Ice, a reference back to the Shawn Respert-Eric Snow backcourt of the mid 90 s at MSU. The name certainly fits as Lucas is one of the nation s dynamic point guards and the Big Ten Player of the Year, while Walton is a lockdown defender and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Morgan Key To Spartan Attack Raymar Morgan has averaged 7.6 points and 19.3 minutes in the last nine games, including 16 points in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Robert Morris and 14 each in Spartan wins at Illinois and Indiana. The 16 points against the Colonials were the most he s scored in a game since Jan. 14 against Penn State. After the game against the Nittany Lions, Morgan battled walking pneumonia/mild form of mononucleosis for more than a month, playing limited minutes in eight games and missing three. A healthy Morgan is a key to MSU s long-range hopes, as he was averaging 15.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 27.1 minutes prior to the first Illinois contest, including 15.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in league play, leading the Spartans in scoring and shooting 60.0 percent from the field. MSU is 21-3 with Morgan in the starting lineup and 20-2 when he plays 20 minutes or more. The Spartans average 75.8 points and own a rebound margin when Morgan plays 20 minutes or more, but just 65.4 ppg and +7.4 on the boards when he plays fewer than 20 minutes or not at all. Wins Rank Among School s Best Seasons With 30 wins, Michigan State has notched its 18th 20-win season and third 30-win season in school history. Only the 1999 (33 wins) and 2000 (32) teams had more victories. The 25 regular-season wins rank as the third-largest regular-season total, one behind the and teams. Of the win seasons in Spartan history, Izzo has been involved in 15 of them, 10 as a head coach and five as an assistant. MSU finished the conference season with 15 league victories, tying the 1999 (15-1), 1990 (15-3) and 1978 (15-3) squads for a school record. It s All About Boardwork Michigan State leads the nation in rebound margin at +9.6 (as of March 30). MSU has led the Big Ten in rebounding margin in nine of the last 11 years. This season, the Spartans are 27-5 when out-rebounding their opponent. MSU has out-rebounded 25 of the last 26 opponents, as Kansas snapped a string of out-rebounding 24 straight opponents in the NCAA Tournament second round. It s a group effort for MSU, as seven different players have led the team or shared the team lead in rebounding in a single game. In Big Ten play, the Spartans posted a rebounding margin. Life Away From Home Michigan State is 18-4 away from the Breslin Center, including 9-3 on a neutral court. MSU finished a league-best 8-1 in league road games after winning its first six conference road games for the first time since joining the Big Ten in Prior to this season, the Spartans had never won their first four league road games. MSU was 9-1 in true road games, winning at No. 21 Minnesota, Penn State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Iowa, Michigan, No. 20 Illinois, Indiana and IPFW. Michigan State is 18-4 away from East Lansing this season. Spartan Sports Network Radio Affiliates City... Call Letters (Frequency) Adrian...WABJ-AM 1490 Alma...

10 MSU has used 14 different starting lineups this season. ALL-BIG TEN MEDIA VOTE First Team Manny Harris, Michigan Kalin Lucas, Michigan State Evan Turner, Ohio State* Talor Battle, Penn State JaJuan Johnson, Purdue Second Team DeShawn Sims, Michigan Goran Suton, Michigan State Kevin Coble, Northwestern Jamelle Cornley, Penn State E Twaun Moore, Purdue Third Team Mike Davis, Illinois Demetri McCamey, Illinois Craig Moore, Northwestern Robbie Hummel, Purdue Marcus Landry, Wisconsin Honorable Mention Chester Frazier, Illinois Mike Tisdale, Illinois Jake Kelly, Iowa Raymar Morgan, Michigan State Travis Walton, Michigan State Lawrence Westbrook, Minnesota Jon Diebler, Ohio State Stanley Pringle, Penn State Chris Kramer, Purdue Trévon Hughes, Wisconsin Joe Krabbenhoft, Wisconsin Player of the Year Kalin Lucas, Michigan State Freshman of the Year William Buford, Ohio State Coach of the Year Ed Dechellis, Penn State * unanimous selection MSU s Defensive Stopper A three-time All-Big Ten Defensive Team member and 2009 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Travis Walton plays a solid defense that, while occasionally resulting in a steal, will hardly ever allow a perimeter player an open look. Consider some of the following games by the players he has guarded: Terrence Williams (Louisville) 5 points FG; A.J. Abrams (Texas) 8 points FG, 0-4 3FG; Jon Diebler (Ohio State) 7 points FG, 1-6 3FG; Sherron Collins (Kansas) 6-14 FG, 2-8 3FG, 8 turnovers; Jake Kelly (Iowa) 6 points, 3-6 FG, 5 turnovers; Trent Meacham and Demetri McCamey (Illinois) 6 combined points, 1-16 FG, FG; Craig Moore (Northwestern) 11 points, 3-11 FG, FG; Lawrence Westbrook (Minnesota) 6 points, 2-7 FG; Devan Dumes (Indiana) 5 points, 2-5 FG; Manny Harris (Michigan) 7 points 2-10 FG, 1-6 3FG; Demetri McCamey (Illinois) 3-9 FG, 5 turnovers. He split his responsibilities against Wisconsin, holding Joe Krabbenhoft to two points and no rebounds in the first half and Trevon Hughes to two points and just two shots in the second half. In league games, he ranked third in the conference in steals at 1.83 spg, including four steals against Wisconsin and Minnesota and three against Illinois (both games) and Purdue. Roe s Recovery Despite undergoing two knee surgeries since December 2007, including microfracture surgery last December, Delvon Roe is showing flashes of the skills that had him ranked among the elite high school players in his class nationally. In the fall, Coach Izzo explained that it might be February before Roe could really start to produce on a more consistent basis. Prior to the month of February, he was averaging 5.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 16.5 minutes. Since the start of February, he is averaging 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 19.6 minutes in 16 games. He recorded his first career double-double at Michigan (14 points, 10 rebounds) and was named Big Ten Player of the Week on Feb. 16. He scored a season-best 16 points vs. Iowa on Feb. 25, and scored 10 points against USC in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Glass Cleaner Goran Suton finshed conference play as the Big Ten s leading rebounder (8.4 rpg), becoming the first Spartan to lead the league in rebounding since Antonio Smith in Suton currently leads the league overall (8.3 rpg). In conference play, he recorded double-figure boards against Minnesota (12), Penn State (14), Northwestern (14), Iowa (11), Wisconsin (10), Illinois (10), Purdue (10). In postseason play, he has tallied double-figure rebounds in four of six games, including a season-best 17 boards against Robert Morris in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In league action, he led the conference in offensive rebounds (3.00 orpg) and ranked second in defensive boards (5.44 drpg). His efforts are a large reason MSU owned an impressive rebounding margin in league games. With 869 rebounds for his career, Goran Suton ranks sixth in MSU history, 37 behind Mike Peplowski (906) in fifth place. Juggling The Lineup Due to injuries to Goran Suton and Delvon Roe early in the year, and Raymar Morgan s illness as of late, Michigan State has used 14 different starting lineups this season, including nine in the first 12 games. Eleven different Spartans have started a game this season. The Spartans are 10-1 when Morgan, Roe and Suton are all in the starting lineup. Walton In A Sharing Mood With 544 career assists, Travis Walton ranks sixth in Michigan State history. His 3.53 assist-to-turnover ratio led the Big Ten in conference games, while his 2.42 ratio ranks second in the league overall. He needs 18 assists to pass current Spartan assistant Mark Montgomery (561 assists) for fifth place. Working On The Defense In the first six games of the year, MSU s defense allowed opponents to score 72.5 points on 44.7 percent shooting. In the last 30 games, the Spartans are allowing just 60.8 points on 40.7 percent shooting, including just 30.2 percent from 3-point range. Lucas Dials Up His Scoring Kalin Lucas won Big Ten Player of the Year honors as voted on by both the league s coaches and media. Through the first 11 games of the year, he averaged 11.4 points. Over the last 25 games, Lucas is averaging 16.0 points, ranking second in the Big Ten in scoring in conference games at 16.5 ppg. During the last 25 games, he is averaging 5.7 free-throw attempts per game, shooting 84.6 percent from the foul line. He s led MSU in scoring in 13 of the last 25 games, scoring 20 or more points in eight contests.

11 MSU s bench has outscored the opponent s bench in 27 games. Suton Joins 1, Club Senior center Goran Suton recently joined an exclusive club, as he became the eighth player in Michigan State history to record 1,000 career points and 800 career rebounds. He currently has 1,060 points and 869 rebounds, joining Greg Kelser (2,014 pts., 1,092 reb.), Paul Davis (1,718 pts., 910 reb.), Andre Hutson (1,393 pts., 835 reb.), Mike Peplowski (1,185 pts., 906 reb.), Lindsay Hairston (1,155 pts., 803 reb.), Bill Kilgore (1,099 pts., 814 reb.) and Johnny Green (1,062 pts., 1,036 reb.). The Turnover Story Michigan State is 16-2 when committing fewer turnovers than its opponent, and 4-0 when turnovers are equal, but just 10-4 when committing more. The Spartans are 21-2 when committing fewer than 15 turnovers, but just 9-4 when committing 15 or more. In their wins, the Spartans average just 13.4 turnovers per game, compared to 16.5 turnovers in losses. Last season, the Spartans averaged 13.6 turnovers, which was the lowest average of the Tom Izzo era. 70 Is The Magic Number The 70-point mark is an important number for Michigan State s success, both offensively and defensively. The Spartans are 18-1 when scoring 70 or more points, but just 12-5 when scoring fewer than 70. Defensively, MSU is 28-0 when allowing fewer than 70 points, but 2-6 when allowing more than 70. Hitting The Offensive Glass Michigan State leads the Big Ten in offensive rebounds, grabbing per game. The Spartans are grabbing 40.9 percent of their missed shots, collecting 502 offensive rebounds compared to 725 defensive boards for the opponent. In three games this season (Wichita State, Minnesota, Northwestern), MSU has grabbed more offensive boards than the opponent has grabbed defensive rebounds. In Big Ten play, MSU totaled 255 offensive rebounds compared to 343 defensive boards for the opponents, averaging offensive boards per game. The 23 offensive rebounds MSU collected at Minnesota were the most by a Spartan team against a Big Ten opponent since Michigan State s Balanced Attack Through 36 games, Michigan State has proven to have great depth. Nine Spartans average 9.8 minutes or more, while 11 average 6.1 minutes or more, although Kalin Lucas is the only player to average more than 29. Three players average double figures in scoring, while two more Spartans average 8.4 points or better for the highest scoring team in the Big Ten. Nine different players have led MSU in scoring in a single game this season. On the boards, three Spartans average 5.0 boards per contest, as MSU paces the league and nation in rebounding margin. Lending A Helping Hand Michigan State is recording an assist on 63.8 percent of its baskets (580-of-909). In tournament play, the Spartans are recording an assist on 73.1 percent of their baskets. The Spartans average assists per game, ranking second in the Big Ten and 19th in the nation. Against Alcorn State, MSU dished out 35 assists. Individually, Kalin Lucas ranks fourth in the conference with 4.56 assists per contest, while freshman Korie Lucious dished out 11 against Alcorn State, the most by any Spartan this season. Suton s Presence After missing six straight games with a left knee injury in November and December, Goran Suton has appeared in the last 28 games, averaging 10.7 points and 8.5 boards in 26.8 minutes. Suton injured his knee in the second game of the season against IPFW on Nov. 19. After his knee did not respond to rest, he underwent arthroscopic surgery on Dec. 4. His first full practice came on Monday, Dec. 15. He returned to action against The Citadel on Dec. 17. In a win over No. 5 Texas, Suton played 26 minutes off the bench, scoring a team-best 18 points. Against Oakland, Suton led MSU in both scoring (16 points) and rebounding (9 rebounds). He posted a double-double against Minnesota (11 pts., 12 reb.), Penn State (13 pts., 14 reb.), Northwestern (15 pts., 14 reb.), Iowa (16 pts., 10 reb.), Purdue (11 pts., 10 reb.), Robert Morris (11 pts., 17 reb.) and Louisville (19 pts., 10 reb.). MSU is 26-4 with Suton in the lineup. Bench Scoring MSU s bench has out-scored the opponent s bench in 27 of 36 games this season.

In the second round vs. Georgetown, the Spartans used a 19-9 second-half run to break open a close game and secure their fi rst Sweet Sixteen bid in seven years. The Spartans had to battle second-ranked and top seeded Kansas in Kansas City. The Jayhawks held a nine-point halftime lead, but once again MSU rallied in the second half to forge ahead. With 2:20 remaining in the game, the clock did not move for approximately 15 seconds before offi cials stopped play. The time on the clock was never corrected before play resumed. Kansas rallied from a six-point defi cit to send the game to overtime, scoring the last basket on a tip-in with 10 seconds remaining seconds that should not have existed.

The Sweet Sixteen featured a match-up of All-America guards with MSU s Smith and Georgia Tech s Kenny Anderson. Anderson scored 17 fi rsthalf points, while Smith countered with 16 as Tech held a four-point halftime advantage. After a back-and-forth second half, MSU held a two-point lead with fi ve seconds remaining. With the chance to ice the game, MSU missed the front half of a one-and-one. Anderson came down the fl oor and hit a 3-point fi eld goal as time expired. The offi cials conferred and decided Anderson s foot was on the line, sending the game into overtime. Offi cials, however, missed that Anderson s shot was after the buzzer and should not have counted. Once again, MSU s dreams were dashed by controversy as Georgia Tech won in overtime.

For the second year in a row, they entered the tournament as a No. 1 seed, led by a trio of experienced seniors, Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson and A.J. Granger. The Spartans had little trouble in their fi rst round matchup, holding Valparaiso to 25 percent (13-of-52) shooting in a victory. In the second round against Utah, Cleaves scored 21 points to rally MSU from a halftime defi cit and defeat the Utes, In the Regional Semifi nal, MSU took on the fourth-seeded Syracuse Orangemen. SU took a halftime lead and led by as many as 11 points with 15 minutes remaining. A halftime lockerroom tirade by Cleaves must have worked, however, as MSU fi nished the game by outscoring the Orangemen, 37-9, a run that was capped off with 17 unanswered points. MSU faced No. 2 seed Iowa State in the Regional Final. The Spartans held a slim three-point lead at the half, but Iowa State held a nine-point lead with a little over fi ve minutes to go. Once again, Michigan State used a late-game rally, outscoring the Cyclones, 23-5, over the fi nal 5:49 in a decision. Cleaves, Granger, Peterson and Andre Hutson all found a spot on the All-Regional team, with Peterson earning Most Outstanding Player honors. In the National Semifi nal, State faced Wisconsin for the fourth time of the season. MSU held a slim lead at the break. Peterson took over in the second half, scoring 10 points in a 13-2 run to pull away from the Badgers and earn a spot in the National Championship game. After grinding it out with Wisconsin, MSU faced Florida s run and gun offense and pressure defense in the title game. The Spartans opened an 11-point halftime lead. Early in the second half, Cleaves got tangled up with Florida s Teddy Dupay, injuring Cleaves ankle and forcing him back to the lockerroom. Leading by six, MSU got fi ve straight points from Mike Chappell and held a bigger lead when Cleaves returned four and a half minutes later. State never looked back, capturing its second National Championship in school history with an victory. Cleaves was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four and was joined by Charlie Bell, Peterson and Granger on the All-Tournament team.

The Spartans were missing 58 points from the 2000 title game, but did boast fi ve seniors, including Charlie Bell and Andre Hutson, who earned postseason honors as juniors. MSU easily defeated Alabama State, 69-35, in the fi rst round before handing Fresno State an defeat to advance to the Sweet Sixteen for a fourth straight year. In the Regional Semifi nal, MSU took on No. 12 Gonzaga. The Bulldogs had a low seed, yet they were also making their third straight Sweet Sixteen appearance with a tournament-tested team. Michigan State led by just fi ve points at the break and fell behind early in the second half, but Bell scored 21 points as the Spartans eventually pulled away. In the Regional Final, State faced another surprise team in 11th-seeded Temple. The Spartans held a three-point lead at the half, and although they could never pull away, they managed to stay in front, thanks in part to a career-high 19 points from David Thomas. For his efforts, Thomas was named to the All-Regional team, where he joined All-South Regional Most Outstanding Player, Charlie Bell. With a victory, MSU s NCAA Tournament record of nine straight victories by double fi gures was snapped, but the Spartans did become the ninth team to appear in three straight Final Fours and only the third since the fi eld was expanded to 64 teams in Suddenly, thoughts of a repeat NCAA Champion appeared more realistic. Unfortunately, MSU ran into a hot Arizona squad in Minneapolis. The Wildcats led by just two points at the half, but outscored the Spartans, 48-31, in the second half en route to an victory.
