Wow, what a game. Michigan State looked awful early, and really couldn't hit its shots for the better part of the first 30 minutes. Give it up for Durrell Summers hitting clutch shot after clutch shot, and the Spartan captains, Kalin Lucas and Raymar Morgan for really making key plays both on offense and defense down the stretch. Gonzaga is a damn fine team, and with a pair of talented 7-footers they are gonna give teams fits.

But, as coach Izzo said in his post-game presser: "Give credit to Gonzaga. They punched us right in the mouth, and we didn't know what to do at first. But, I guess good teams find a way to win, and our captains really led a great comeback."

GO GREEN. 2-0, baby.
