They’re 2-0 on the season following Saturday’s 80-70 victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and are now preparing to take on the Duke Blue Devils. Through two games, MSU leads the country in assists rate with 53 assists on 60 baskets made.
For head coach Tom Izzo, that’s the theme of the year so far.
“That might be the storyline of this team,” Spartans coach Tom Izzo said on Saturday night. “That’s two games in a row, that means we’re moving the ball, we’re passing the ball.”
The latest AP Top 25 Poll has been released, and the Spartans find themselves inside the top ten teams listed.
Will Izzo and the Spartans be able to take down Coach K. and the Blue Devils?
