Michigan State senior guard Eron Harris, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week against Purdue, checked in one final time on senior night in the final minute of the Spartans’ game against Wisconsin. As is a Michigan State senior tradition, Harris bowed down, knee brace and all, and gave the Spartan Shield a final kiss goodbye.
It capped an emotional afternoon for Harris, who watched in tears before the game as his mother sang the national anthem. But it was a fitting way to go out on top, putting a cap on a monster win for Michigan State in knocking off No. 16 Wisconsin -- pushing the Spartans one step closer to an NCAA Tournament bid in the process.
What a way to go out for the injured guard who earned a standing ovation from the home crowd and respect from his teammates and Badger opponents.
