A little more than a week later, college sports shut down due to the pandemic. MSU’s last time doing so on the road was March 3, 2020, at Penn State, a game in which MSU rallied from a 19-point first-half deficit for a 79-71 win that stunned the fans at Bryce Jordan Center. Neither Hoggard nor sophomore Mady Sissoko have yet to play in front of a hostile crowd. Though a limited number of fans attended the Spartans’ NCAA tournament loss to UCLA at Purdue’s Mackey Arena, the road venues they played at last season essentially only allowed parents and families. It will be MSU’s first road game of the season after playing the Jayhawks on the neutral floor at Madison Square Garden. The Bulldogs’ average attendance is 7,250 so far this season, but Izzo - who has never coached there and calls it "a bucket list" game - feels Wednesday’s atmosphere “will be Fourth of July and Christmas there.” And he expects it to be plenty loud, so his staff piped in ear-splitting crowd noise during Monday’s practice.

A sign of improved communication and accountability as much as it was frustration for having to run. One thing he did like, however, was how his players got after each other during Monday’s workout when there was a turnover. “The offensive end wasn't quite as good,” he added. Izzo said for the most part he was pleased with how his team played defensively in practice on Sunday and Monday. TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER: MSU's plan for Marcus Bingham Jr: 'Go right through people's hearts' Plenty are on individual issues such as stepping on the sideline or taking an extra step attempting on the catch before putting down a dribble. Some of them are the result of the Spartans quickening their offensive pace in transition, some off communication growing pains with new point guards Tyson Walker and A.J. Izzo’s team had 16 turnovers for 16 points in last week’s season-opening loss to No. The Broncos scored 16 points off 13 giveaways in MSU’s 90-46 blowout eight of those turnovers and 10 of those points came early in the first half of the home opener at Breslin Center.
