3. Energy level has to be higher

Michigan State has to come out of the gates running. The Spartans need to be full of energy and have to come out with the intensity we have seen in so many years past, slapping the floor on defense and getting high-quality shots and knocking them down.

This month, the Spartans have not played like they want to be out on the court. They have played timid and like they have to be on the court and not like they want to be on the court. These Spartans have so much talent and potential but when they do they don’t come out with high energy, they do not show how much talent and potential they have.

If the Spartans can come out of the gate roaring and having that high intensity, they will have a great game and be in a position to win this much-needed game. If they come out flat once again, they will have another long night ahead of them.
