Michigan State Spartans defeat Connecticut in the 2009 Final Four semifinal. Another masterful display by the greatest coach in basketball, Tom Izzo.

    I'm proud to say that i was at this game. It was abolutely unbelievable. When Summers threw down that dunk over Robinson, the whole place just erupted. I'll never forget that game. Makes me proud to be a State fan.

    Playing Mich. St. in the Final Four in Detroit? Fun. At least Uconn got them back in 2014 at MSG. Still that was nothing compared to playing a road game in front of 70K. Crazy atmosphere.

    One of the greatest Michigan State games ever! GO STATE!

    Tom Izzo is so freakin' classy. If you watch at 8:14, most coaches probably would have already started walking over to shake Jim Calhoun's hand, but Izzo is chasing Summers down the floor from the sideline making sure that he doesn't showboat or score, a traditionally unsportsmanlike move in that type of situation. Such an awesome coach.
  • Even though MSU just came up short against UNC, they really deserved to play in the Final Four that year. A great season nonetheless.

    i was on spring break in fort myers and due to traffic we missed the entire first half. however as we rolled into town all we heard was "Go green" followed by a "Go White." Spartan flags were hung in all the bars and ahh just a fantastic night/experience. thank you guys i get the chills every time i watch this.

    This is still the only time a UConn men's team made a Final Four and didn't win a title. 1 loss in the Final Four- Izzo's the 1.

    I am so proud to be apart of this piece of history

    i think the problem with michigan state the past few years is they don't get players who have loads of confidence and for lack of a better term "swagger". this team and the 2000 team had those things, they had an identity.

    Nothing like telling Kalin Lucas and Durrell Summers they’ll be playing in this game in 2007 while they was in High School still. I had the blessing to train them both while in HS and College. Love this Spartan Team. Great memories ❤😅
  • @B_uttcrumbs
    Summers’ dunk is my all time favorite MSU bball moment, and this is still my all time fav MSU team.
  • @IBdaPrince
    It's funny how hardly anyone has noticed Draymond Green in these highlights
  • 5 times uconn has won a championship out of 6 final fours this is the 1

    The unnoticed moment of this video....Summers has an uncontested break away to the net with 4 seconds left.....could have been a legendary dunk and just kills the clock. Class move, class program.
