The Michigan State Spartans continued their undefeated season with a thrilling, 34-24 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers.
The Spartans found out leading up to the game that head coach Mark Dantonio could not be in the coaches box because of a blood clot.
The team went out and dedicated their effort to their stricken head coach, using the same gutsy play-calling that personifies Dantonio.
In a showdown of two of the Big 10’s top teams, the Spartans were able to withstand a late Badgers’ rally. ( Read More…)

The good news is that it was considered a mild heart attack and doctors say he is doing just fine and his prognosis is good.
Doctors cite the fact that he came to the hospital when he first thought something was wrong as a big reason everything turned out well. ( Read More…)

Michigan State Spartans guard Chris Allen has announced that he will transfer to the Iowa State Cyclones.
It was rumored throughout the spring and summer that the Spartans would likely lose at least one player to transfer.
The team has a very crowded backcourt situation that only became more crazy with Korie Lucious breaking out in the NCAA tournament.
Allen saw that he would likely be the odd man out between Lucious and Kalin Lucas and decided to hit the road. ( Read More…)

Michigan State Spartans point guard Kalin Lucas is pain-free but does not know when he will return.
Lucas tore his Achilles tendon during the second round of last year’s NCAA basketball tournament.
The guard said that he likely would be somewhere else this year playing professional basketball had it not been for the injury.
He said that there are a lot of expectations for the Spartans and for himself in his senior year. ( Read More…)

Michigan State Spartans head coach Tom Izzo has decided to turn down the Cleveland Cavaliers job.
One of the big reasons Izzo turned down the job is that he was never able to speak with LeBron James.
Before taking the job, Izzo would want to make sure that he would have the opportunity to coach James. ( Read More…)

Michigan State Spartans fans might not have to wait much longer to find out if beloved coach Tom Izzo is headed for greener pastures. ESPN.com reports that a decision from Izzo on whether or not to accept an offer to become the new head coach of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers could come as soon as Monday.
Izzo told his Michigan State players that he’s still undecided. On Thursday, he flew to Cleveland to meet with the Cavs, a meeting that lasted several hours. It was reported that the meeting was more like a recruiting visit for him and his family than anything else. Izzo has been tempted by NBA offers in the past but dismissed them relatively quickly, another sign that he’s taking this offer far more seriously.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have made contact with Michigan State Spartans head coach Tom Izzo.
A report claims that the Cavaliers are willing to offer Izzo $6 million per year over five years.
Izzo makes a little over $3 million per year with the Spartans, so it would be a significant raise.
The coach has said previously that he is not interested in the NBA, but he has left the door open to make the leap.
The Cavaliers say they have also contacted a number of other coaches, so they aren’t only after Izzo.

Michigan State Spartans head coach Tom Izzo’s name has suddenly emerged in rumors about the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Izzo’s name has popped up on the NBA radar screen more than once in the past, but he has never made a move.
The Cleveland job isn’t all that far from his home in East Lansing, which would make it less of an adjustment.
That said, Izzo has already laughed off any speculation he will make a jump to the NBA.
He has made it perfectly clear he is happy with the Spartans and that Cavaliers owner Daniel Gilbert hasn’t been ringing his phone off the hook.

Michigan State Spartans junior guard Korie Lucious is considering a transfer to another school.
Lucious, an unheralded guard during the regular season, took to the spotlight in the NCAA tournament.
Because of injuries to both Kalin Lucas and Chris Allen, Lucious took over the point guard role and flourished.
He hit a huge, game-winning shot to beat the Maryland Terrapins to advance to the Sweet 16 and helped lead the Spartans to the Final Four.
The guard wants significant playing time but knows he will be stuck behind Lucas at the point guard position.

The Michigan State Spartans hopes were confirmed when Durrell Summers and Kalin Lucas both announced that they will return next season.
The announcement instantly pushes the Spartans up high in the rankings and raises hopes of another national championship in Lansing.
Summers, who was a solid player but nothing special, came out of nowhere to become one of the best players in the NCAA tournament this year.
Lucas had been widely regarded as one of the top point guards in the country but missed the end of the team’s tournament run because of a torn ACL.
The point guard is working hard to rehab the injury and is hopeful that he will be 100 percent in time for the start of basketball practice next fall.
