EAST LANSING — Tom Izzo knows Michigan State basketball needs its big men in abundance against No. 1 Kansas.
Marcus Bingham Jr. could still be one of them.
Izzo said he is “99 percent sure” he will not use a redshirt on the 10th-ranked Spartans’ freshman forward this season, which would make him available for Tuesday’s season-opener against the Jayhawks in the Champions Classic at BankersLife Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
