Well one game is in the books, and what do we know about the Spartan basketball team that we didn't know before Sunday?
Not much. Other than the fact that MSU will be the most deep team in the Big Ten Conference, if not the country.
"Chris Allen and Durrell Summers might be the greatest wings that I have ever had," Tom Izzo said in the post game press conference. He went on to add that they are not there yet, but the certainly have the potential.
Last season, Allen came into the season with high expectations. He was slated as a shooter and a player that could get to the hoop and create his own shot. What did we see last season? Nothing. We watched a young freshman too scared to take a shot. Too scared to dribble. Not tough enough to play "Izzo" defense.
This year.
Well in the first game of the season, Izzo pulled Allen aside in the locker room at halftime, he told him that he would need to step up in the second half and start playing aggressive.
What did Allen do?
He came out in the second half and scored 17 of his 21 points, including a tip dunk off a rebound that sent the Breslin Center into a frenzy.
