[Vacation, shmacation. Seven days until the exhibition opener.]
- Spartans guard Korie Lucious will miss at least two games following drunken-driving arrest | MLive.com
Looking like he'll miss the exhibition opener and the regular season opener, but possibility exists of sitting out 1-2 additional games. Will definitely play in Maui. - Draymond Green's newfound jump shot gives Michigan State plenty of options | MLive.com
Izzo leaning toward Green starting (maybe at 3?), which makes sense to me. If goal is to maximize his PT, why take 3 minutes off table at beginning of each half? - Talented freshman Keith Appling expects to be fast learner in Michigan State backcourt | MLive.com

"We all think there's greener things on the other side. We all take for granted what we have. I don't care who we are. And all those things were eye-opening for me. And you know what? It works out for me that I know where I wanna be now. I don't have to think about it. I had what I would call the ultimate offer in some ways. I've got a great situation (at MSU). I got a couple more championships to win to catch that Polish guy down at Duke. That's my goal."
