No three-Big East Final Four.
Instead it’s Michigan State in the Motor City for the Huskies.
The Spartans’ 64-52 win over Louisville Sunday puts them in the Final Four and opposite UConn.
UConn and MSU have met twice before, splitting a home-and-home series from 1998-00. UConn beat Michigan State 82-68 in Gampel Pavilion on Dec. 5, 1998. The next season the Huskies got blitzed in East Lansing 85-68 (it wasn’t that close).
The second of those games is one UConn coach Jim Calhoun often refers to when he needs an example of how not to do things.
