After months of intense campaigning, America finally has its answer. Republican Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States. Trump won 279 electoral votes according to the Associated Press, notably winning key races in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida and very likely Michigan as of 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Although Trump secured the necessary electoral votes, Democrat Hillary Clinton carried the popular vote, 47.7 percent to Trump’s 47.5 percent, a difference of about 200,000 votes.

“I have no words, no words at all. This isn’t how it was supposed to be. This isn’t what was supposed to happen.”

Local results In Ingham County, Trump earned 32.88 percent of the popular vote, while Clinton won 60.24 percent. Reactions to Trump’s win speak to the divisive nature of the 2016 elections. “It’s certainly a massive surprise compared to what we were expecting going into the night,” director of MSU’s Institute for Public Policy and Social Research Matt Grossmann said of the election results. Trump supporters say they weren’t surprised at all by the win. “I’m not surprised by anything so far,” School of Human Resources and Labor Relations professor Joseph Guzman said. “Based on our sense of what’s going on the ground, based on the ground swell of support for our future president, Trump, based on being able to amass rallies, multiple a day, drawing tens of thousands over and over again. … We felt that was a tremendous statement, more powerful than any poll.” In fact, Trump’s poor performance in polls leading up to the election encouraged supporters, Guzman said. “We were very mindful of what was going on with the polls,” he said. “They made us work harder. We always felt that we were in good shape in all of these places.” Democrats, on the other hand, were shocked

by their candidate’s defeat. “I have no words, no words at all,” MSU College Democrats Chief of Staff Michael Sandoval said. “This isn’t how it was supposed to be. This isn’t what was supposed to happen.” For many Clinton supporters, the election’s results still don’t feel real. “I’m in complete shock,” zoology junior Dana Saunders said. “I thought there was absolutely no way, but it happened.” Supply chain management senior and member of MSU College Republicans Leslie Seery likened the faces of Clinton’s supporters to “U-M fans when (MSU) won last year.” For many Republicans, Trump’s success is indicative of a change in the national mood toward the policies of the current President Barack Obama administration. “It shows that our country is tired,” MSU College Republicans Chair Jeff Litten said. “You can see it all the way from the top to the bottom of the ballot, people are exhausted and tired.” College Republicans Treasurer Ryan McIntyre attributed much of Trump’s success in states like Michigan and Pennsylvania to his lack of hostility toward unions. “Traditionally, Republican candidates have gone after unions as the reason that jobs are leaving us,” McIntyre said. “In the case of Trump, he’s not necessarily saying what he’s going to do … which is actually being very appealing to union workers, because all they see is their jobs coming back.” In the early days of his presidency, Trump might avoid divisive issues, Grossmann said. “The only policy proposal that he mentioned last night was actually basically infrastructure spending, which is a traditionally bipartisan proposal,” he said. “It could be that he’ll get a little bit of cooperation in the beginning.” Additionally, Grossmann said, Democrats in Congress from states where Trump did well might be more willing to work with the new president to keep their constituency happy. The results come in Tensions ran high as projections came in on election night. At the MSU College Republicans watch party at Harper’s Restaurant and Brewpub, Litten asked the group not to start chants and said he didn’t want to start anything. At the Trump Lansing headquarters watch party held at FieldHouse, Trump supporters started chants of “drain the swamp” and “build the wall.” Early Wednesday morning, crowds in Oakland, Calif. started small fires and broke windows at local businesses, including a window at the Oakland Tribune newsroom. More demonstrations have also been reported in downtown Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., Seattle and Pittsburgh. In Lansing, a building displaying Trump campaign signs was vandalized overnight, according to the Lansing State Journal. Windows were reportedly smashed and anti-Trump messages were spray-painted on the building. “The next couple weeks are going to be hard,” Litten said. “I think a lot of people are going to have a tough time accepting this election — no matter who would have won last night, it was gon-

na be a tough two months before inauguration.” Litten added that he remains hopeful Trump will reach out to all Americans and work toward unity as a nation. Grossmann said he believes unity might be a long way off. “He’s going to come into office with a lower approval rating by far than any new president, so he’s going to face a divided public right away,” Grossmann said. “It’s hard to see it getting better anytime soon.” MSU goes forward The nation remains apprehensive. “(Indiana Gov. Mike) Pence seriously thinks that women who have miscarriages, which is completely out of their control, he thinks that they should be punished,” marine biology senior Andrea Judd said. “That’s not OK, it’s appalling. I’m still with her.” The MSU College Democrats are solemn. “While I congratulate the president elect, the America that we are now entering is an America that we should have left behind a long time ago,” Sandoval said. “I’m not going to pretend to know what tomorrow is going to look like or what next year is going to look like. I don’t know.” MSU College Democrats will host a “Rally Against Hate, Bigotry, Racism, & Sexism at MSU” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Rock on Farm Lane. “This is no longer about Democrat or Republican, it is about the well-being of this country and our people versus oppression and bigotry,” MSU College Democrats wrote on the Facebook event. As of 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, 2,700 students have responded that they’re interested in attending the rally. The Black Student Alliance, Culturas de las Razas Unidas, the Alliance of Queer and Ally Students, REHS, and the MSU Counseling Center have set up “healing spaces” to help students process the election. These events will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 14 and 15 in the Lake Superior Room at the Union and, according to flyers, will be “debate-free.” McIntyre said he believes “safe spaces” are interesting as a response to election results. “It’s something that’s totally within their power to control by exercising their civic duty to go vote,” he said. The Associated Students of Michigan State University plan to address student concerns regarding the results of the election. ASMSU President Lorenzo Santavicca tweeted a screenshot of an email he sent to members of ASMSU Wednesday morning. “I know that this election cycle has been particularly divisive for a multitude of Spartans in our community,” Santavicca wrote. “We have much work to do as we continue to build and re-build our connections, friendships, and daily experiences as Spartans all over campus.” Though America enters a period of great uncertainty, the presidential election has finally come to a close. “Let us not grow weary, let us not lose heart,” Clinton said in her concession speech. “We owe (Trump) an open mind and a chance to lead.”

Plus lawsuit, Nassar places third in Holt BY ALEXEA HANKIN AHANKIN@STATENEWS.COM

Amidst another sexual abuse lawsuit, this time pulling in the names of former national team coordinators Bela and Marta Karolyi into the pot, ex-MSU faculty member and former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar came in third place in a local election for Holt School Board. The Indianapolis Star spearheaded the allegations against Nassar starting in September, and published stories of two USA gymnasts who were allegedly sexually abused by him. Since then, similar allegations against doctor have poured in, resulting in ongoing investigations from the Michigan Attorney General and the FBI. Nassar, who resides in Holt, Mich., was on the ballot to become a member of the Holt School Board. There were two seats open. Out of three candidates, Nassar lost, coming in third. He secured just more than 20 percent of the vote. An unidentified plaintiff, who was a member of the Women’s National Team from 2006 to 2011 and the world team in 2010, put forth the newest allegations. They accused the Karolyis and USA Gymnastics leaders of ignor-

ing the abuse subjected to the plaintiff. Nassar’s name is also in the suit, the Indianapolis Star reported. In 2014 a complaint was filed against Nassar, which MSU investigated, and local prosecutors decided not to file charges. MSU spokesman Jason Cody told The State News on Sept. 20 that certain employment requirements were put on Nassar in 2014 after the investigation. Cody confirmed on Sept. 20 Nassar’s employment through MSU had been terminated. He said Nassar “was not forthcoming when questioned about other previous allegations.” On Sept. 28, The State News reported, according to MSU Police’s Clery Crime and Fire Log, at least 24 reported cases of sexual abuse occurred within places Nassar could have worked. The Indianapolis Star reported more than 30 cases were brought to their attention. Since then, the reports that could be connected to Nassar on the MSUPD log have grown to 42. The State News has condensed the list. Cody confirmed via text message that MSU is “waiting for the Attorney General’s office to make a decision.” The office of the Michigan Attorney General could not be reached for comment.

APPROXIMATE COST TO TEST EACH RAPE KIT

$490

TOTAL DONATIONS

$7,472 BY COLTON WOOD CWOOD@STATENEWS.COM

University of Michigan might have defeated MSU on the gridiron this year, but the Spartans managed to raise more money than the Wolverines in a fundraiser for the testing of rape kits. The fundraiser is called the African American 490 Challenge and was held days before MSU’s rivalry matchup against the Wolverines. It generated $7,472 in donations, according to a press release from the AA490 Challenge. It was a six-day fundraiser that created a friendly competition between rivals to see who could raise the most donations for this cause. The Spartans’ team raised $4,233 while the Wolverines raised $3,094. Those who did not pick a school raised $145 toward the effort. Each rape kit is valued to cost approximately $490 each to test. Each team had notable alumni from their school to help raise money amongst their followers. MSU alumna and current ESPN employee Jemele HIll helped promote the competition. “While it’s good that MSU won this challenge, the real winners are the survivors who will now be able to get closer to justice once their rape kit is tested,” Hill said in the release. “This was really about supporting women and supporting justice.” The issue of funding for rape kits arose in 2009, when 11,341 rape kits were discovered in a Detroit Police Department storage room. “It turned out that those kits weren’t process because the leadership at the police department kind of prioritized other things, other uses of resources, so those kits date back as far as far as 35 years,” president of the Enough SAID African American 490 Challenge Kim Trent said. “So all those years, women who have been sexual assaulted, they would gather evidence and then the evidence would just sit in this storage room.” Trent realized this was highly unethical, she said, so decided to do something about it. She created a fundraising campaign specifically for African-American women affected by this cause. Trent said since last October, they have raised close to $400,000. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said the rape

kits discovered in were found through an audit by one of her managers. Worthy said in January 2015, she officially launched a fundraising campaign called Enough SAID, which stands for Sexual Assault in Detroit, in partnership with her office, the Detroit Crime Commission and Michigan Women’s Foundation. “We didn’t want to have these victims wait any longer than they had to wait, so our campaign — Enough SAID campaign — has been greatly successful,” Worthy said. “There’s been many innovative things that we’ve done to raise money.” Worthy said she was the coach and “quarterback” of the Wolverines’ fundraising team in 2015 and was in charge of leading her team to help raise money. Worthy added she made constant phone calls and sent numerous emails to raise awareness for the fundraiser. Despite the Spartans raising the most money this year, Worthy doesn’t consider U-M to be losers. “Last year, we won the fundraising race and lost the game and this year, we won the game and quote-unquote lost the fundraising (race),” Worthy said. “Obviously, nobody loses here. The winners of course are the survivors of the sexual assault kits, so we can get their kits processed more swiftly, so no one’s a loser in this fundraising campaign.” Margaret Tallet, chief communication engagement officer of the Michigan Women’s Foundation, was highly supportive of the fundraising efforts to help fund rape kits. “At Michigan Women’s Foundation, our tagline is the foundation at which Michigan women and girls thrive,” Tallet said. “We can’t thrive if we’re not safe, and we can’t be safe if people who are committing violent crimes against women are left on the street to do it over and over and over again.” Tallet said the average rapist rapes between seven and 11 times. “While their DNA sat on a shelf all those years, they continued on a rampage in Michigan and across the country,” Tallet said. Because of the fundraising efforts for the funding of rape kits, there are now 800 of the 11,341 kits left to be processed. “The bottom line of this is we’re not making light of the very serious issue, but what we are trying to do is raise money (and) at the same time, raise awareness,” Worthy said.

MSU student version of Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ to take the Wharton stage BY BRYCE AIRGOOD BAIRGOOD@STATENEWS.COM

Eleven months ago, assistant theatre professor Deric McNish started working on an idea that would help bring William Shakespeare’s work to life. This week, that idea will be realized the opening day of ”The Tempest" on Nov. 10. The Shakespeare play will be put on in the Pasant Theatre at the Wharton Center and will be different from previous productions McNish, the director of the show, said. “Very often projections are used as a kind of afterthought just to add a mood or information, and we wanted it to be more essential,” McNish said. “We wanted characters to interact with media.” “The Tempest” has had a team of designers working on projections for the show. Sometimes characters will appear as flesh and blood and other times they will appear in media form, McNish said. Along with innovative media use, the production is different in other ways. The setting for the play is usually a tropical island, but this show will be featured on an iceberg. “It creates a different kind of atmosphere,” McNish said. “It also provides a perfect projection surface. But it’s more harsh, it’s more deadly.” “The Tempest” was the play McNish chose to bring to life because its script is full of magic, monsters and spirits, McNish said. Roles are filled with a cast of undergraduates, graduate students and faculty at MSU. The character roles are another different element of this production of “The Tempest.” The character Prospero, the protagonist, is played by associate theatre professor Christina Traister. As a result, the character is now dubbed Prospera, McNish said. Having a member of faculty has affected the cast, McNish said.

“Everyone has been remarkably professional and focused, which is a necessity because of the tech challenges associated with this kind of show,” he said. The stage manager for the production, theatre senior Samira Mashni, said “The Tempest” has been her favorite cast she has ever worked with. “Their acting is great, phenomenal,” she said. “I think that it definitely adds to the production because it’s Shakespeare, you know? Not a lot of people understand Shakespeare or enjoy Shakespeare, but I think that they kind of present it in a fun way.” One of the actors is theatre senior Lee Cleaveland, who plays the character Sebastian in the play. Cleaveland said it’s challenging having the role, as he’s not used to playing a bad guy. However, when he heard he got the role he knew it would be enjoyable as well. “I thought it was going to be fun because he kind of, on top of just being a bad guy, he kind of just stands upstage and makes fun of people and then doesn’t really learn a lesson at the end,” he said. “A lot of the characters grow, have consequences for their actions, but I just kind of go back to living my life at the end of the show.” A lot of work has gone into the production, between working with the large set and the interactions the cast has with the media and projections. Cleaveland said “The Tempest” is his favorite Shakespeare play. “The Tempest” was Shakespeare’s final play solely written by him. By the time he wrote the play, Shakespeare was a fully realized playwright who employed all of his tricks and devices into the show, Cleaveland said. Mashni said the script is essentially the same, but McNish adapted it to better fit the audience at the Wharton Center. Because of the versatile nature of the show, it can be viewed as a comedy, tragedy, romance or any number of things. Although he didn’t want to say what he want-

ed the audience to feel after the performance, McNish said it’s a redemption story that also contains hope and opportunity. McNish said he’s most excited to bring Shakespeare to life for the audience, as he said Shakespeare is generally misrepresented to people. “People in our country grow up reading Shakespeare as a chore in

high school, and it wasn’t written to be read,” he said. “It was written to be seen.” Presented through the MSU Department of Theatre, the show will run until Nov. 20. General admission tickets are $17 and senior and faculty tickets are $15. Student tickets are $12 plus a $3 Wharton facility fee.

Toxic masculinity ideology hits home for MSU students BY JONATHAN LEBLANC JLEBLANC@STATENEWS.COM

Dealing with society’s expectation of what is masculine and what isn’t has had effects on different MSU students. Doctoral student Mark Hsieh is an avid martial arts participant and hunter, but also loves music and is pursuing a doctorate degree in musical arts, all of which he didn’t choose based on whether it was masculine or not, he said. “I never grew up learning how to hunt, I never grew up learning how to do martial arts,” Hsieh said. “Those are things that I picked up purely because I was interested in them and had nothing to do with them being masculine traits.” The generation gap plays a role on how men and women are brought up to view masculine and non-masculine traits, Hsieh said. He said his father is more “old school,” and because of that, he had issues with Hsieh’s sister being a lesbian. “My dad had an issue with that, he’s a great guy and everything, but that’s the way he grew up,” Hsieh said. “(It took him) a while until he adapted to that, until the rest of my family (said) ‘if you don’t jump on board with this, you’re going to be on the dock by yourself.’” This cultural difference plays a role in how masculinity is viewed by men and women, Hsieh said, as his dad is from Taiwan. “Growing up with these very specific Chinese

roles that I had to play, like the guy has to do this and the guy has do that and can’t do that,” Hsieh said. Not agreeing with these principles led Hsieh to find how he fit within society, and ultimately has made him believe society could be evolving with how it views masculinity. “There’s a lot more gender fluidity nowadays that I’m really happy that the younger generations are starting to recognize, understand, appreciate and accept,” Hsieh said. “I think all in all, just as a general rule, you do you.” The MSU Women’s Council had a discussion on Monday about the Danger of Toxic Masculinity, both in women and men. The discussion ranged from how masculinity and ideals affect women and men. “A lot of men think feminism doesn’t apply for them, but it does,” social relations and policy sophomore Allie Etzin said. Etzin is the president of the MSU Women’s Council. Etzin said toxic masculinity is relevant to men, and forces them to do things they might not want to actually do. “Toxic masculinity kind of takes away power from men, saying that they have no control, saying that they have to be powerful,” Etzin said. “It’s chaining them up and putting them in (a) box.” READ MORE ABOUT TOXIC MASCULINITY AT STATENEWS.COM

MSU Wins If

MSU MSU Loses If Predictions

The midfield controls the pace of this game. There cannot be a disconnect between attacking and defensive midfielders. Maryland will more than likely score, but it’s about controlling the pace for MSU.

MSU fails to have a continuous flow on offense. Players like Giuseppe Barone and Ken Krolicki need to be involved. It’s only a matter of time before Gordon Wild is unfastened on a loose ball to chase.

Maryland can’t keep up with the pressure of playing at a neutral site and MSU keeps Gordon Wild in check. MSU needs role players to step up on offense and help out guys like Sierakowski and Giuseppe Barone.

They let Maryland’s offense run wild like they have on every other team the Terrapins have faced this season. MSU might have trouble generating much offensive progress.

Men’s soccer prepares to take on No. 1 Maryland in Big Ten Tourney BY ISAAC CONSTANS ICONSTANS@STATENEWS.COM

It’s tourney time in the Big Ten, and on Friday the MSU men’s soccer will face its toughest opponent of the season again. In fact, it would have been impossible for the Spartans to advance to a more challenging quarterfinal matchup than against undefeated Maryland, the No. 1 team in the nation whose prior win against MSU was the Spartans’ largest margin of defeat in the Big Ten this season. Earlier in the season, the Spartans fell to the Terrapins 2-0 at Ludwig Field in College Park, Md. In the previous spot, the teams were relatively even throughout the first half, with the game scoreless at halftime. With a 54th-minute goal from Jake Rozhansky, however, Maryland seized the lead, only to score again and come away with the win following an own goal. That was at Ludwig Field, more than a month and a half ago. Since that time, the Spartans have had significant space

for growth, with MSU solidifying a rotation and fielding increased contributions from underclassmen. The game on Friday looks set to be determined through the midfield, which has been an essential part of both teams’ successes this season. Both teams have balanced attacks and seek to control possession throughout the match, and both have leaders who rely on incoming service. After defeating Penn State to advance to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals, head coach Damon Rensing started to prepare his team for the No. 1 team in the country. “You’ve got two highly competitive teams,” Rensing said after defeating Penn State on Sunday. “Seasons can end, so that’s difficult. There’s emotion. But, you know, you can play with that edge, you just have to be able to relax and execute too, and I thought that’s what our guys did very well.” For the Spartans, sophomore forward Ryan Sierakowski is the team’s esteemed

goal-scorer — a recent selection to the All-Big Ten First Team with nine goals on the season. An industrious attacker, Sierakowski feasts on one-on-one chances from any angle. Getting the ball to him will be highly dependent on the play of junior All-Big Ten Second-Team member Ken Krolicki and Big Ten Freshman of the Year Giuseppe Barone. Although both attacking midfielders rely heavily on flanking the defense, they will be forced to track back against the Terrapins’ threatening offense. That means both players will have to deliver proper releases to spring forth counters, and when in possession, hold on to make the right decision. Maryland’s attack orbits around one unmistakable option — Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year Gordon Wild. An ambidextrous, speedy and neat player, Wild has circled opposition on his way to 15 goals on the year. Not to be overlooked, Wild’s across-the-field passes have provided the crucial assists in his breakthroughs. Rozhansky and Amar Sejdic have provided a combined 16 assists, with Eryk Williamson and DJ Reeves also key senders. Maryland as a team has 51 assists on the season, 18 more than the next closest Big Ten team. The two goalkeepers will be in for a showdown as well. MSU’s Jimmy Hague and Maryland’s Cody Niedermeier will try to outdo each other in the goalsagainst department, with both atop in the All BigTen accolades, although Niedermeier has the upper hand as Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year. The situation favors Maryland in close fashion again. The Terrapins’ Alex Crognale was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and fellow defender Chris Odoi-Atsem joined him on the All Big-Ten First Team. It wasn’t just defense, though — Crognale had six goals in the season. Odoi-Atsem gave a little something to the Terrapins on the offensive end as well, with a signature looping long ball that earned him

six assists. MSU defender Jimmy Fiscus came off of his first goal of the season on Sunday, a game-winning diving header versus Penn State. Beside Fiscus is a consistent lineup and amalgam of youth and experience, including freshman Michael Wetungu and senior Dewey Lewis. The additional attacking presence of Connor Corrigan could be the impetus for MSU success on the other end. Expect the dominating midfield presence to win this game, but if it’s a stalemate, the tiebreaker goes to Maryland. With Wild as dangerous out of the counter as in packed vicinities, Maryland is an unyielding threat. If MSU can make quick tackles and press high to diffuse attacks, it can stage the game in the Terrapins’ half. The X-factor in this game could be youth for MSU. With significant NCAA Tournament ramifications for the winner, true freshmen will face their largest challenge yet. Assertion from Barone and defensive containment from Michael Pimlott can give the Spartans a chance. Rensing said at his weekly press conference on Tuesday that to win, MSU will have their work cut out for them. “We really know our identity right now,” Rensing said. “When we played Maryland (earlier this season) there were 7,500 fans, the fifth-largest crowd ever, it was a huge game, a really tough environment. Now that we’re neutral we’re excited to see where we’re at with the best team in the country. … It will take a very good performance, probably our best performance of the year, to get by a very good Maryland team.” Game time is set for noon at Grand Park Soccer Complex in Westfield, Ind. The winner will advance to the Big Ten Tournament championship game and play the winner of No. 3 Wisconsin vs. No. 2 Indiana on Sunday at 2 p.m.

MSU men’s basketball prepares for season opener against No. 10 Arizona BY CASEY HARRISON CHARRISON@STATENEWS.COM

It’s been eight months in the making. It started with a stunning upset loss to Middle Tennessee State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which blemished not only the resume of Hall of Fame head coach Tom Izzo, but also his 2016 graduating class, consisting of the likes of Denzel Valentine, Bryn Forbes, Matt Costello and Colby Wollenman. Forwards Javon Bess and Marvin Clark Jr. declared their transfer from MSU soon after. Deyonta Davis declared for the NBA draft and left the Spartans after his freshman year. Add in the arrival of Izzo’s highest-ranking freshman class, lower body injuries to UNLV graduate transfer Ben Carter and senior center Gavin Schilling and just like that, the Spartans are just a few days away from defending last year’s Big Ten Tournament championship and are en route to MSU’s 20th consecutive appearance in March Madness. A new chapter of MSU basketball will officially start on Friday, when No. 12 MSU opens the regular season against No. 10 Arizona in the Armed Forces Classic. FIRST ROUND OF THE GAUNTLET

MSU will open the season against the Wildcats at a neutral site — the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. From there, MSU will travel to venues like Madison Square Garden in New York City to play No. 2 Kentucky and Atlantis in the Bahamas to presumably play Baylor and No. 13 Louisville. Along with that, the team will travel to Durham, N.C. to play No. 1 Duke. All of these will take place in the span of 22 days for a grand total of more than 13,000 miles traveled. Izzo said the tough travel schedule has been an important topic for the team throughout practice, and it’s going to be important to start the year on the right foot for a multitude of factors. “(It’s) maybe the most important of any trip I have been on with my team because of their youth and the adversity we have already faced,” Izzo said in his first weekly press conference of the season. “It is the first game on a national stage. We have got a lot of games on national stages. Sometimes, when you open up that way, you don’t get to do what a lot of teams get to do and that is to kind of get through the wrinkles. ... This is the longest

road trip and all of this for one game.” The travel, though, is something the team has been waiting for to prove their potential, freshman forward Miles Bridges said. “That’s why we came here,” Bridges said. “We worked so hard this summer and this fall just to play these games, so I feel like we’re ready to go.” MEET THE SPARTANS

Izzo said Bridges, along with the rest of the freshman class — guards Cassius Winston and Josh Langford and forward Nick Ward — have put the program in “uncharted waters” and could start for MSU in any given game. Given MSU’s needs, Bridges is likely the only freshman to start on Friday against Arizona. Bridges averaged 26.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in MSU’s two exhibition games and has been named to the Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Watch List and a preseason Second-Team All-American by the Sporting News. Bridges has gained attention for his shooting range and ability to drive the lane. Izzo will likely start junior Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn Jr. at point guard. Izzo already has branded Nairn as the leader of the team for his influence on underclassmen off the court and quickness on the court. Last season, Nairn started the first 18 games of the season before missing the next seven with a foot injury, but averaged 3.3 assists per game with a 3.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. Prior to his injury, Nairn averaged 24.1 minutes a game, but after returning from his injury averaged 8.9 minutes a game. Fifth-year senior Eron Harris and sophomore Matt McQuaid could start as MSU’s shooting guards. Harris is the oldest player and returns as MSU’s top scorer after averaging 9.3 points per game and 43.4 percent from beyond the 3-point line last season. Harris, though, has the ability to be a big time scorer. He averaged 17.8 points per game in the four games he started last season while Valentine was sidelined with an injury and averaged 17.2 points a game in 2014. As a freshman, McQuaid averaged 3.5 points per game and shot .409 from three while averaging 15.8 minutes per game. With injuries to Schilling and Carter, redshirt-sophomore Kenny Goins will probably be the number five for MSU. The former walk-on missed

his first season and appeared in 26 games last season, averaging 10.2 minutes a game. The big averaged 2.0 points per game last season. Izzo said Monday defensive play was going to be a major factor in a possible win for MSU. During the exhibition games against Northwood and SVSU, the Spartans turned the ball over 28 times and opponents stole the ball 13 times against MSU scorers. “I thought we could do a little bit better of a job defensively, because we are athletic,” Izzo said. “The different levels, the different coverages, the number of things that go on, it is hard to get them all in a short period of time. So, concerns, yes. Frustrations, no. I think we are building. I think we are getting better.” MEET THE WILDCATS

According to the MSU game notes, Arizona is projected to start two freshmen — guard Rawle Alkins and forward Lauri Markkanen, both of

which add size to the Wildcat roster. Of the projected starting five, three are taller than 6-foot5, with Markkanen and junior center Dusan Ristic both 7-foot-0. Arizona’s physique is something Izzo said could be an advantage for MSU. “To play against three 7-footers for our team is kind of the exact opposite of our team right now,” Izzo said. “It will be a good measuring stick. They are a very, very big team and hopefully, we are a very, very athletic team. Although, they have some good athletes. In some ways, it is like us. … Where we are a little bit weak right now is that our old guys don’t have as much experience as theirs.” Last season, Ristic averaged 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds a game and Arizona’s returning leading scorer, fifth-year senior guard Kadeem Allen, averaged 8.4 points a contest and shot 46.5 percent from the field.
