Happy Anniversary, Michigan State basketball fans. OK, maybe it's Easter, too, but the real celebration today should be for that 2018-19 team that made the Final Four, beating Duke's most talented team potentially ever, led by Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of that electric game which sent Tom Izzo to his eighth Final Four as head coach of Michigan State. It was just an insane win.

Michigan State came in as the 2-seed and the Big Ten champion while Duke was the No. 1 seed and favored to win by essentially everyone. No one was picking the Spartans to win, but they defied the odds and took down the mighty Blue Devils in one of Coach K's last NCAA Tournament runs.

Don't remember the game as fondly as you would have liked? Don't worry, Big Ten Men's Basketball shared some highlights from the win to refresh your memory.

There were so many iconic moments in this game from the Matt McQuaid crazy no-look reverse layup to the Xavier Tillman poster to the Kenny Goins 3-pointer to win it for the Spartans. But one that often gets overlooked in all of this is the inbounds pass from Tillman to Cassius Winston to avoid a foul and run out the clock. High IQ play by two Michigan State legends.

It's hard to believe this game was five years ago and it's tough to think that the season was cut short in the Final Four by Texas Tech who, in my opinion, the Spartans should have beaten -- I will always say MSU would have beaten Virginia in the title game, too.

It's nice to relive one of these iconic games and hopefully Izzo has this program back on that stage in the near future, battling for a national title.
