I’m sure the fact that Izzo broke his drawing board is a sign that he’s still not happy with this win 😂

Tom Izzo upholds the legacy held by his predecessor (the L8, GR8 Jud Heathcote). Since 1975; 2 HCs (Heathcote & Izzo) 4 MSU..Not many other schools/teams can uphold such consistency like MSU has.

Welcome to the B1G USC get used to this

[GeoAce]

when Izzo gets real mad in a close contest, that's when the Spartans become fierce 🗡️ even yelled at his player for hanging on the rim

[Chris-hvcu]

Akins was the key to this game. He changed the entire momentum of the game, hit so many big shots

[QianaMDavis]

#Spartanswill clinch the win on St Patrick's Day! Everybody is GOING GREEN today! Round 2, you're up next!

Solid solid solid! The D showed up (Boogie 6 pts? Avg 17...there's your 10 point win right there....) Survived their unavoidable droughts, finally got some late game free throws, well, everything you could hope for out of this team. Go on ahead Green!! Class of '70 lovin it!

[hollister]

As a Big Ten fan, I just want to say; this is OUR YEAR! 😭

Who’s here after hearing Bronny signed with USC?

[rtsa]

Joey houser is a legit 3 point threat. Not sure his percentage but seems like he's shooting close to 50 percent 😅

[charlessoukup]

Seems INEVITABLE we have the droughts Every game...trick is to survive em!

Boogie Ellis once the tiger always a tiger Memphis loves you

[charlessoukup]

Been lights out on the 3's recently, but that's not sustainable....must have the D, & keep driving the paint, that brings fouls & steady production.

[jimfab]

All bad for USC. And our "B, B-" caliber coach.

Anyone watch this game live and hear the "Friends" reference (via 7:51 )? What exactly did Lappas say?

[chung-chitien]

Boggie is not shot good as usual, maybe it’s too early for him. Other guy perform well.
