On Wednesday morning during the 2022 Big Ten men’s and women’s basketball Media Days in Minneapolis, both Michigan State men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo and women’s basketball head coach Suzy Merchant took the podium to speak about their teams.
As for Izzo, he began his press conference by saying the men’s team has a smaller roster and was free of injury until sophomore guard Jaden Akins hurt his foot. Senior forward Malik Hall also dealt with a minor injury earlier, but is healthy now.
“I think our biggest improvement, we needed to get better guard-play,” Izzo said as far as what the Spartans need to do better compared to last season.
