On October 27, Michigan State had its annual men’s basketball media day. It featured a state of the program speech by head coach Tom Izzo and player interviews. One common theme: Final Four’s are no longer enough for this program. The Spartans also talked about their summer trip to Italy and a variety of other topics.

Michigan State was on a mission ever since their loss to Duke in the 2015 Final Four: win the natty. That mission failed just one game into the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Here's the story of Denzel Valentine and the team's conviction to get back to Houston this year (before they lost in the first round).

Here is a clip of my play-by-play for MSU vs Illinois football from Nov. 5, 2016. I call this my "flu game" because I was suffering from a debilitating cold at the time, which is why my voice sounds different.
