Nobody can say that Michigan State fans aren’t loyal. It was after midnight on a Sunday night, but sleep was nowhere on the minds of the green-and-white faithful.
Following the Spartans’ thrilling 68-67 win over Duke in the Elite Eight to earn a trip to the Final Four for the first time since 2015, fans packed the Breslin Center, awaiting for Tom Izzo, Cassius Winston, Kenny Goins and everyone else to arrive back in East Lansing and celebrate the accomplishment. It was an incredible way to enjoy an incredible run.
Photos and videos of the team’s arrival and fans filling the Breslin Center were posted throughout the wee hours of the night.
