1. A stress-free game

OK, maybe this one is asking a lot, but wouldn’t a 10-point lead throughout the game just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Keep the heart rate under 100 for a change? Watch these kids we’ve grown to love go out here and just have a blast?

Heck, maybe we even get a Tom Izzo smile.

For the last two minutes, we get to see Jason Whitens get a few buckets in his last home game and kiss the Spartan logo, just like his forefathers.

I know Tyson Walker and Malik Hall will be walking for Senior Day as well, but let’s just all assume they’ll save their Spartan kiss for next year’s season finale. Somebody just tell Whitens to take a few more moments to soak it in while a camera focuses on Chris Holtmann having another whine-fest. A chef’s kiss to end the regular season.
