2010 was a great year for the Michigan State Spartans, and here are my Top 5 Favorite moments from that year.
#5 Michigan State's men's basketball teams returns to the Final Four for the second consecutive time and for the 6th time in the past eleven years which is best in the NCAA. Though they lost in the Final Four, the trip there was very memorable.
#4 Both the MSU Men's Basketball and Football teams bring home Big Ten Championships. For the basketball team it is their 2nd consecutive Big Ten Title and for the football team it is their first Big Ten Championship in 20 years.
#3 "Mousetrap". Mousetrap was the name of the fake punt which they ran against Northwestern to come back from a 17 point deficit to win the game.
#2 Korie Lucious' three point shot at the buzzer to beat Maryland in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Maryland looked good the entire game and with less then 20 secs left in the game, Maryland took a one point lead. Summers dribbled the ball to the other end of the court, passed the ball to Locious who runs around the defender jumps up lets the ball go and the shot falls in the give Michigan State the dramatic last second win.
#1 "Little Giants". It was mid-September and the Michigan State Spartans were hosting the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in an epic night time game. At the end of regulation the teams were tied and they headed into overtime. Michigan State won the coin toss and elected to get the ball second since both teams have one chance each to score points. Notre Dame kicked a foe;d goal to take a three point lead and then take defense against the Spartans. After the Spartans failed to get a first down after three attempts they line up to kick the game tieing field goal. The players are lined up for the try. When the ball was snapped, holder Aaron Bates stood up, passed the ball to Charlie Gantt who walks in for the touchdown and the win. No body saw it coming, not even I!
