FINAL: MSU 82, UConn 73; MSU advances to NCAA title game
DETROIT -- Despite those late couple of free throw misses, this game was in many ways about Kalin Lucas. Goran Suton, the star of the Midwest Regional, wasn't scoring so Lucas provided both scoring and leadership. Suton did rebound, so it wasn't like he was doing nothing. This game was also about the rebirth of Raymar Morgan, who finished with 18 points. I have to say, the way Morgan's season has gone, you have to love this for him. Tom Izzo always said he had confidence in Morgan and tonight he got to show why. UConn was a formidable foe, to be sure, but sometimes hunger and 50-some-thousand fans cheering for you in person can make all the difference.
The announced attendance -- 72,456-- is a new NCAA Tournament record. And most of the fans got to leave happy since they were a green and white-clad bunch for the most part.
