Leave it to Cleaves
Spartan endures injury, earns title he sought
Michigan State's affable senior point guard scored 18 points to help Michigan State build an early lead in its eventual 89-76 victory over Florida. Cleaves would not score again after suffering a high ankle sprain that sent him to the locker room for four-plus minutes, but SI's Grant Wahl says just by coming back, Cleaves lifted the Spartans to the national title.
