Back-to-Back Final Fours (since 2000)

Sparty has made a pair of back-to-back Final Fours in the 21st century. This recent version, led by Kalin Lucas (top right) and Durrell Summers (bottom left) failed to win Tom Izzo a second national championship. Michigan State fell to North Carolina in the 2009 championship game in Detroit and succumbed to Cinderella Butler in the 2010 semis.
