'Spoiling means you’re a scrub, and I ain’t a scrub:' Harlon Barnett looking to end losing streak on Senior Day

Interim head coach Harlon Barnett and MSU football have yet to find success in the six games he has been at the helm. This weekend though, he has a chance to send the seniors out on a winning note against Nebraska for their last game at Spartan Stadium, and Barnett has been nothing but positive with his guys in order to keep the mood in the locker room from derailing. 

MEN'S BASKETBALL

MSU men's basketball's slow start in exhibition loss to No. 9 Tennessee offers team learning

Exhibition games are built to be a learning experience for everyone involved. Players, coaches, referees—everybody has something they can take out of the experience of an exhibition game. Michigan State men’s basketball’s high-intensity exhibition game against No. 9 Tennessee felt a little more like a late-March tournament battle than a game with no stakes. The game came down to the very last second when the Volunteers were able to pull ahead by one point for an 89-88 victory over the Spartans.
