Bridges is a picture of calmness, displaying the reserved kind of humbleness that’s served as a trademark of his going back to his days at Michigan State coach under Tom Izzo’s tutelage.

Don’t be fooled, though. The final week of the regular season has arrived and an inferno is immersed inside Bridges as the Hornets ready themselves for next week’s play-in tournament.
