What makes a successful March?
As one of the top picks to win the NCAA tournament last year, the returning Michigan State basketball team coupled with the highly talented freshman class was expected to be a top contender for the 2017 title. Things took an unexpected twist when the injury bug hit the Spartans early in the season and they lost big men Gavin Schilling and Ben Carter for the year.
