Gonzaga may have made it to three straight Sweet 16s.
But Michigan State has made it to three straight Elite Eights.
Friday, the Spartans showed how and why.
Suddenly, the face paint, blue hair and fanatical outfits didn't seem so fun anymore.
Not after it was over. Not after Gonzaga had lost, 75-66, to Purdue in the Sweet 16 at The Pit on Thursday.
In the collective scream of the crowd, these are the voices that could be heard:
"We're going to the Sweet 16.''
"We're going to Albuquerque.''
"I don't believe it''
"We've done it again.''
