3. Morris Peterson vs. 14. Sedrick Irvin

Mo Pete won every single individual and team award there is to win in college basketball save for national player of the year. He was the leading scorer (and probably best player) on the 2000 national championship team. He was a member of the legendary Flintstones and his number 42 is up in the Breslin Center rafters. Should he be the two seed in this region? Maybe. I wouldn’t hate the argument. Mo Pete is–flatly–one of the greatest and most beloved Spartans of all time.

Sedrick Irvin is probably the most exciting running back in MSU history. That feels fair to say, right? Or maybe the most exciting work-horse type back. Irvin certainly wasn’t a water bug running back and often ran up the middle and with power, but he had incredible shiftiness for a guy his size. He was huge and fast and made smaller players miss with jukes and spin moves. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards all three years at MSU and would be even higher in the record books had he played another season. As it sits, he’s one of the best to ever do it at running back at MSU and one of the more electric playmakers MSU has had.
