INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Michigan State was an unexpected Final Four participant after fighting through injuries to several key players.
The Spartans won’t surprise anyone next season.
Only one key player, Raymar Morgan, was a senior on a team that lost to Butler 52-50 in the national semifinals on Saturday.
If the wounded heal properly, hopes will be sky high.
Point guard Kalin Lucas ruptured his left Achilles’ tendon in the second round of the NCAA tournament and missed the rest of the run to the Final Four. Forward Delvon Roe will have surgery on his painful right knee. Guard Chris Allen was playing on a strained right arch.
Michigan State should be able to challenge again for the Big Ten title – and perhaps another deep run in the NCAA tournament.
