Green Giants

Michigan State's run to 2019 NCAA tournament Final Four was the culmination of a season as rigorous as it was memorable. To win the Big Ten title and tournament, coach Tom Izzo's squad had to beat arch rival Michigan three times. To reach the Final Four, they had to defeat top-seeded Duke and its once-in-a-generation superstar Zion Williamson. Packed with expert analysis and stunning action photography from the Detroit Free Press and Lansing State Journal, Green Giants: The Inside Story of Michigan State's 2019 Big Ten Title and Final Four Run takes fans through the Spartans' entire journey, from a narrow loss to No. 1-ranked Kansas in the season-opener, to the unforgettable thriller over Duke in the Elite Eight, to the final weekend in Minneapolis. This commemorative edition also features in-depth profiles of Izzo, Big Ten player of the year Cassius Winston, Matt McQuaid, Kenny Goins, Xavier Tillman, Aaron Henry and more! The prose comes from top writers at the Free Press and the State Journal, including Mitch Albom, Graham Couch, Chris Solari, Shawn Windsor and Jeff Seidel.
