Well, so much for that All-Big East final.
Michigan State took care of that with a convincing 82-73 victory over Connecticut in the first game of Saturday's semifinal doubleheader at Ford Field.
Don't be shocked. The Spartans can play. They're big, strong and fast. They went toe-to-toe with the Huskies and came out on top Being in Michigan doesn't hurt, either.
There definitely was a home-field advantage. The Spartans will have that same edge Monday night against Villanova or North Carolina.
Speaking of Ford Field, to give you an idea how big this place is, one of the first signs you see when you enter the building are binoculars for rent.
For a basketball game.
Crazy
Tip-off for Villanova-UNC is set for 9:18
