As storms rolled through, students at Crunchy’s in East Lansing dealt with more than just the stress of the game.
MSU students Leland Alvarez and Michael Grant experienced the highs—
—And the lows of the game.
“It was a tough loss, a tough end to the season,” Grant said.
Looking back on the year, he reflected on the team’s success.
“Two big wins against Michigan, a lot of big wins against good teams, made a pretty good dent in this tournament,” Grant said.
Alvarez added that his first year experiencing MSU basketball on campus was something to remember. Looking ahead to next season, he’s eager for what’s to come.
“I’m excited. Ever since I moved here to Michigan, I knew that MSU basketball is a big thing, and just to be a part of the community and to be able to experience that firsthand is just honestly amazing,” Alvarez said.
