Michigan State will open its season on a Friday night for a third straight season when Western Michigan plays at Spartan Stadium on Aug. 30, and the Spartans hope to continue showcasing their season openers not necessarily on Saturdays. "It's been something I think will become a tradition here at Michigan State," Michigan State associate athletic director Paul Schager said Monday on athletic director Mark Hollis' radio show. "It really allows us get out at the start of the season to be the first team out of the gate and get all the attention from a TV standpoint.

Michigan State has prided itself on the fact that every recruit Tom Izzo has signed played in a Final Four if he stayed for four years. That feat will be put to the test next year. The Spartans (27-9) were limited to two or fewer NCAA tournament wins for the third straight year, giving Adreian Payne and Keith Appling one more shot as seniors next year to reach the national semifinals.

Nine days ago, Chase Rihtarchik was on top of the world. In his second start since coming off an injury that forced him to miss the 2012 season, the junior pitcher Rihtarchik (2-0, 1.47 ERA) threw a complete-game no-hitter to lead the Spartans to a 3-2 victory against Oakland. It was the first no-hitter from the MSU baseball program since Nolan Moody in 2009, earning Rihtarchik Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors. Yet in baseball, a pitcher only is as good as his most recent start.
