AmberAbyss+FollowMichigan State’s new lineup shakes things upDivine Ugochukwu’s hot hand powered Michigan State to a nail-biting win at Penn State, but the new starting lineup is stirring up more questions than answers. Ugochukwu, a sophomore transfer, nailed all five of his 3-point shots and dropped a career-high 23 points, giving the Spartans a much-needed boost at shooting guard. But shifting him into the starting five meant less time for other key players and exposed some defensive gaps. With coach Tom Izzo still searching for the right mix, how do you feel about the trade-offs between offense and defense? Is this the spark MSU needs, or just the start of more lineup drama? #Sports #MichiganState #Spartans00Share
