Couch: What to be concerned about — and what not to be — after MSU's exhibition at UConn

HARTFORD, Conn. — The way it used to be, we’d never know the details of a preseason matchup between two teams like Michigan State and Connecticut. Until this year, with a few exceptions, these were, by rule, closed-door scrimmages. You can make an argument that it was better that way — that players were able to be tested without fan scrutiny, and that fans were able to dream about the possibility of their team being flawless at least until November.
