March madness is nearly upon us, and in the spirit of the season, The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy asked Mel Tucker an awesome question on Monday: which Michigan State football players would he use as a starting five on a basketball team?
Mel Tucker’s answer:
- Terry Lockett
- Payton Thorne
- Montorie Foster
- Keon Coleman
- Maliq Carr
- Sixth Man: Connor Heyward
That’s a pretty formidable lineup considering two of those guys are on the actual MSU basketball team. You can watch Tucker’s full answer below:
