Nix also said Kalin Lucas is recovering well from off-season surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left foot, and that Draymond Green has reached his weight goal of 235 pounds.

Both should go back to school," said one veteran NBA scout, representing a team expected to have one of the highest first-round picks in this year's draft.

Spartans guard Durrell Summers (20-point average in Tournament) must stay hot to offset the lack of scoring from the point-guard position with Kalin Lucas (Achilles) out.

Michigan State's junior guard tandem of Kalin Lucas and Durrell Summers claim they have some big decisions to make. Both Detroit natives told reporters after Saturday's loss they're not sure if they will return for their senior seasons.

Michigan State's Kalin Lucas had successful surgery Tuesday on his left foot and is expected to travel with the team to the Final Four in Indianapolis, coach Tom Izzo said.

Lucas suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon after making a runner against Maryland last weekend in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The injury ended his season.

Less than a week after his buzzer-beating 3-pointer against Maryland, Lucious will be counted on to be a powerful court presence in the absence of starter Kalin Lucas (Achilles tendon).

Michigan State forward Draymond Green told reporters with a straight face that he could handle duties as a point guard. That was more than two months ago.

For Michigan State, life without point guard Kalin Lucas begins in earnest in Friday night's Sweet 16 matchup against Northern Iowa. Lucious will start in place of Lucas, a two-time All-Big Ten guard.

Tom Izzo on Lucious: "He's excited about the opportunity. We'll have to make him a little bit of Korie and a little bit of Kalin (Lucas)."
