Tom Izzo struck a pose that is becoming all too familiar these days.
As Michigan State was in the middle of another head-scratching performance in a 25-point loss at Minnesota on Monday night — a loss which left the Spartans at 0-3 in Big Ten play for the first time in 18 years — Izzo put his head in his hands, unable to comprehend what was happening on the raised court at Williams Arena.
It was an image that has been accompanied often over the last week-plus with blank stares and looks of confusion at what's been playing out in front of him.
