VOLLEYBALL

Spartans look to make most of second chance

Sometimes it takes a second chance to finish what’s been started.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Spartans rebound after upset loss

The No. 2 MSU men’s basketball team split a pair of weekend games at the Legends Classic in Atlantic City, N.J., bouncing back with a convincing win Saturday against Massachusetts after being upset by Florida on Friday.

FOOTBALL

A team for the ages

Ten years later, the players that comprised the 1999 MSU football team still cause Spartans’ fans to shake their heads in awe. Plaxico Burress. Julian Peterson. T.J. Duckett. Renaldo Hill. Robaire Smith. Chris Baker. Amp Campbell. Ten years later, what that team accomplished has yet to be matched by other MSU teams.
