Oh, well. A 52-50 loss to Butler to finish the season.

Bottom line: 1) Raymar Morgan foul trouble made it more difficult for MSU to flex its muscles down low. 2) MSU really missed Kalin Lucas and his ability to slice & dice defenses; unfortunately, too many stupid turnovers, something that the Spartans corrected the rest of the NCAA tourney. And, 3) if you can't hit shots, you'll lose. MSU had plenty of open shots, but just couldn't hit the broadside of the barn in the second half.

Anyhow, congrats to MSU on a great season and congrats to Butler -- one helluva good defensive team. I hope they beat Duke. The ES hates Duke.

On to football season - a spring report will be posted this week.
