Spartans' Achilles Heel: Kalin Lucas Out for the Tournament

In a Greek tragedy sort of way, isn’t it fitting that the leader of Sparta would have an Achilles injury? Or was Achilles a Trojan, which would make Carson Palmer’s injury make more sense? I’m confused. My apologies to Zeus.

The bottom line is that Tom Izzo’s club just lost the one player it couldn’t afford to lose in lead guard Kalin Lucas. To make matters worse, guard Chris Allen played just four minutes against Maryland due to a sprained arch, Delvon Roe is nursing a surgically repaired knee, and Raymar Morgan is missing a tooth.

This is my team.. the year I graduated from UCLA:



I never did go to one of our basketball games, but I did get to a rosebowl game.

Wooden was the man.

Heh, lotta white boys then.

Neither 3 point shot or shot clock were part of the game back then as well.

Then we had Lou Alcindor..



I still read his online points of view from time to time.

Great videos ossobuco, thank you.

Michigan State Spartans beat Northern Iowa last night. Without star player. Correction, without star players. I have a good feeling. Izzo has them inspired, on a roll, nothing to lose, not too much ranking/media pressure,.....oh baby,...this may be the year,.......
