Michigan State Spartans move on to sweet 16

Drew Neitzel and the Spartans looking strong

DENVER -- After having a great time at Richard Elias' campaign kick off party this eve, I had to watch some basketball, and I'm proud to say my alma mater, the Michigan State Spartans, are moving on in the NCAAs.

State convincingly beat Pittsburgh tonight, and advance to next play in Houston, probably against Memphis.

Coach Tom Izzo has them on a roll, and I wouldn't be surprised if they make the Final Four again this year.

Go Green!

Bummer on the UA loss, but the Wildcats did OK this year, especially considering all the Lute Olson controversy.
