      EAST LANSING, Mich.  - Delvon Roe, the rugged forward who
helped Michigan State make it to a pair of Final Fours, has decided
to quit the basketball team because of knee pain.
      The school said Thursday that Roe, a senior from Euclid, Ohio,
will remain on scholarship and is on track to graduate in May.
      The 6-foot-8 Roe says the pain in his knee has taken away his
love of the game and it's not fair to his team to try and play.
      Over three years, Roe averaged only 6.1 points and 5.1 rebounds,
but was a stalwart in Big Ten and NCAA tournament games. He
averaged 23 minutes per game in the 2010 NCAA Tournament and is
second in school history with 106 blocks.
