It was also very good because Tom Izzo's stated No. 1 concern -- chemistry/leadership -- should be less concerning when he wakes up Wednesday morning. We've seen Kalin Lucas put on his assassin face and slice up an opponent at a key moment before (as he did to Demetri Goodson, after which Lucas repaid Goodson and then some for all the smack Goodson talked at the end of the first half).

But I haven't seen this Morgan before, not much anyway. He was screaming at teammates, staying in the game through adversity, playing through a lot of pain. The only problem is, he'll probably sprain most of his appendages by Christmas.
