Spartans' Sloppy Play Frustrates Coach Izzo
23 Feb
Summary
- Michigan State narrowly defeated Ohio State 66-60.
- Coach Izzo expressed deep dissatisfaction with the team's performance.
- Bruce Thornton scored 32 points against Michigan State's defense.
No. 15 Michigan State narrowly defeated an undermanned Ohio State team 66-60 on Sunday, a performance that left head coach Tom Izzo highly critical.
Izzo sarcastically praised his team's play, but his true displeasure was evident when discussing the Spartans' lack of readiness. He pointed to a turnover on the game's very first possession as a prime example of the team not being prepared to compete.
Further compounding Izzo's frustration was the defensive struggle against Ohio State's Bruce Thornton. Despite missing key teammates, Thornton managed to score 32 points, a performance Izzo admitted was not contained as planned. The Spartans must improve their focus and execution to be better prepared for future opponents.
