Lucious Out At MSU

In a statement released by the university, it was announced that junior guard Korie Lucious had been dismissed from the team for the remainder of the season.  "Unfortunately, Korie Lucious displayed conduct detrimental to the program," coach Tom Izzo said in the statement. "My focus is on this team for the remainder of the season."  Lucious also expressed his regret in the situation, but never alluded to what exactly led to the dismissal.  The roster shakeup comes as Michigan State is preparing to host Michigan on Thursday and is trying to overcome two straight conference losses last week at Illinois and Purdue.
