On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I went home and saw my brother play in a district basketball game. “You played well,” I told him afterwards. My brother’s squad—the good guys—bounded ahead to a 15-point lead in the first quarter, only to abdicate it at the hands of a bloodthirsty full-court press in the second half.

The battle of this year’s bums of the Big Ten turned out to be nothing more than a cask of pent up frustration finally splintering then exploding all over Spartan Stadium on Saturday as MSU captured its first win in nearly seven weeks.
