Michigan State head coach Tom Minkel:
"This is a very high level tournament, particularly this year. Overall, I was pleased with our effort. This tournament allows us to identify our weaknesses really early in the season. Sometimes you can fool yourself into thinking you're further along than you really are. This tournament helps us address some issues we need to get better at. All in all, it was a great weekend with a lot of hard-fought matches.
"The attitude of this team is very solid. They have a very mature approach in getting better. I'm sure the whole team will come out of this better than when they went in. The most important elements in order for a team to be successful is to have talent combined with good character and leadership, and we have all three this season."
