MSU's senior class refused to lose Friday, combining for 45 points to lift the team to a win over Davidson in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The past three weeks, Izzo said he's seen "a different Joey." Izzo partially attributed it to Hauser finally feeling comfortable and confident in his own skin — and in his game. "If you knew how we as a staff and our players feel about Foster Loyer, when I say we love the kid, we love the kid. "So many people jumped off his bandwagon, and as you guys know, I never did," Izzo said. "Looking forward to the next game." As soon as the NCAA released this year's bracket, the overarching storyline centered around Loyer facing his former team. His older brother, Sam, went 0-3, losing a pair of games at Marquette before transferring to Virginia and bowing out to Ohio in the first round of last year's tournament. For them, stepping up big in (today's) game, a tournament game, I know it means the world to them to be in that spot now — (and for) me as well, just helping them out." Joey, himself, was 0-2 before Friday. He was at Marquette for the second of his brother's two setbacks, then suffered another defeat last season after moving to Michigan State, as the Spartans squandered a 14-point lead against UCLA and fell in the First Four in West Lafayette, Indiana. Neither brother had an opportunity to compete in 2020, as the coronavirus canceled the tournament. Hyunjung entered Friday having posted a double-figure point total in 29 of the Wildcats' 33 games. Thanks to stellar efforts from all three members of the class — Joey Hauser, Gabe Brown and Marcus Bingham Jr. — the Spartans will live to see another day. Tonight I let that happen, and good things happened." "It's a new season," said Hauser, who also had eight rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Both Tom Izzo and Coach K's squads are ready for the second-round clash of Hall of Fame coaches.

“The season is so long, and they are a young group, so what they accomplished and won the regular season I thought they took a deep breath. That good fortune trickled down to guard A. J. Hoggard and forward Gabe Brown, who combined for 26 points in the win. “We’re gonna watch film and get better.” “Communicating and making all the right rotations; that’s huge for us.” Duke made adjustments in the second half, limiting miscues with better communication, fighting through screens and hustling to loose rebounds. One more time to play against maybe the all-time great.”

After the second layup, Hoggard took the inbounds pass coast-to-coast in seven seconds and finished another contested layup to make it a one-possession game.
