About a month and a half ago, the Michigan State men's basketball team hit a skid of sorts. The Spartans were on a bit of a losing streak and had quickly gone from a preseason top-five team with a school-best conference start to a Big Ten co-champion hopeful.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has already realized one of his dreams and it has nothing to do with national championships. Izzo has wanted to build an elite program that has a family atmosphere. And he's got it: A day after the Spartans advanced to the Final Four, former players Mateen Cleaves and Goran Suton joined the celebration at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

So what is it going to take for MSU to consistently move the needle? To whet executives and broadcasters appetites the way Duke does? Hope casual fans find glamour in grit. Because, as Davis pointed out, everything Izzo and his program do is "built around toughness."

I had a hard time believing that Coach Izzo and his Spartans would take their five seed lying down. I listened to every idiot on TV and every out of touch moron with an opinion rattle on about the Big Least Conference. If anybody mentioned Michigan State it was to talk about their first round Big Ten tourney loss or to bring up the Chris Allen one game whoopty-do suspension.

That's the list of players to whom the statement "Every four-year scholarship player who's come into the Michigan State program under Tom Izzo has been to at least one Final Four" applies. Nearly three dozen guys.

East Lansing is in a frenzy once again as their beloved Michigan State Spartans are once again playing in the upcoming Final Four. When it comes to the Spartans, basketball rules. This is why I was stunned to learn that Michigan State claims to have won six national championships on the football field, which would be three times as many won on the basketball court.

MSU basketball appears to be getting better. Let’s try to make sense of the last two weeks. Let’s look into the future so that we can understand the present. This is a concept that political think tanks call “reverse hindsight.” Actually, I just made up that term. But play along.

When most national sports commentators talk about the elite college basketball programs, the usual suspects get mentioned: North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, Connecticut, UCLA. There seems to be a name conspicuously missing from that list. Anyone not mentioning Michigan State among those fine programs is making an egregious mistake.

I mean, really, you do understand that, don't you? This stuff really isn't easy to do, yet Michigan State has made it a habit. Seven years out of 12 in the Elite Eight. Going for six out of 12 in the Final Four. For a program that had two Final Fours in its history before Tom Izzo started this run-turned-era.

MSU has won a lot of games. They’ve continued to have great success on the road in conference play for the second straight year. They’re not that different from the team that got to the title game a year ago.
