MICHIGAN STATE RUMORS
After digging early hole, Gophers score five straight to beat Spartans
MINNEAPOLIS -- Nick Lehr's first career start in goal couldn't have begun much worse than it did Thursday. The end result for the Gophers freshman netminder, though, was a positive one.
Lehr allowed three goals on the first four shots he faced in his first start of the year as he filled in for the injured Adam Wilcox. By the midway point of the first period Thursday at Mariucci Arena...

Michigan State AD Mark Hollis Would Vote ‘No’ If “Year Of Readiness” Was Presented Today
The Big Ten has come under a lot of heat for its proposed “year of readiness,” which would take away eligibility for freshmen in college football and men’s basketball.

Mark Dantonio reacts to Trae Waynes’ 40-yard dash time (VIDEO)
Vine
Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes ran an official 4.31 40-yard dash which was good for the fastest of anyone in the 2015 NFL Combine. To put it in perspective, the fastest officially electronically-recorded 40-yard dash at the Combine is Chris Johnson’s 4.24 in 2008. So 4.31 is flying.
Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio wasn’t all that impressed. Or was he?
You tell me.

Spartans hold off Illinois for 60-53 win
Michigan State handed Illinois just their second home loss of the season with a 60-53 win.
However the Spartans had to avoid a late game meltdown while trying to do something they really haven’t done all season, make their late free throws. This was in thanks to Travis Trice who despite an extremely slow start (0 of 6 shooting, first nine minutes of the game) finished 4 of 7...
