More mature Anderson tones down volume as MSU leader

East Lansing — His head sunk in a towel, his eyes wet with tears, Alan Anderson thought he had blown everything.
Who knew confidence could disappear so quickly — just six games into the season — or so vividly?
Last year’s 72-50 loss to Duke at the Breslin Center was frustrating and humiliating for all the Spartans, but it might have hit Anderson, a Michigan State swingman, the hardest.
“Other people didn’t help him out, either, from the coaching staff to every player on the court,” coach Tom Izzo said. “It wasn’t like Alan was out there by himself, but I guess like a Joey Harrington, he was the quarterback, so he gets a lot of blame.”
My view: Anderson is one of the keys to the Spartans success this season. He will make a solid NBA player in my opinion and if he keeps up his current pace will end up earning many awards by the end of the season. He is back playing his more comfortable forward position and the comfort level is showing. He is shooting the ball well and making good decisions.
