“IF he does those things, then I reject the notion of a glass ceiling.” -@JustinThind

Michigan State has lost so many of those early tough games over the years. For this “retool, keep the streak alive, and develop for next year’s title window” team to win that one, that’s big.

Starts to change the expectations for the team.

Pod w/ @SpartanHoops_DK dropping tn!

Great discussion with three guys that actually put on the pads & spent hours in college film rooms. You don’t get that insight anywhere else.

Tune into this episode & all the others that they put out. Thanks for having me, @DanteRazzano2 @brianlewerke14 @tylerhigby77.
