United Center
Chicago, IL
The #6 Michigan State Spartans saw their record on the year improve to 27-6 with a 77-70 win over the Wisconsin Badgers.
Spartan Hall of Fame head coach Tom Izzo said of the contest, “You know, we’ve been pretty, not as gritty. I mean, we’re gritty, but we’re not like smash-mouth tough like some of those old teams. But we do it in a different way, and yet it’s — you know, I thought the way we started out, we were upset with the way we started yesterday, as everybody knows, and the first 10 minutes were great and then we kind of died, and then we played better after halftime.
