Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has had a front-row seat witnessing the three-year evolution of Maryland guard Melo Trimble. And sometimes it has been painful for the Hall of Famer to watch.
Certainly the most difficult moment for Izzo came in Saturday’s 63-60 loss to Maryland at Xfinity Center. Trimble hit the game-winner, a 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left that some Terps fans called "Revenge For Korie Lucious."
Though not as lucky or significant as the Lucious’ 3-pointer to knock the Terps out of the 2010 NCAA tournament - coming after one of his Michigan State teammates ducked on a long inbounds pass from Draymond Green – Trimble’s trey was agony for Izzo.
