Michigan State basketball is in need of a bounce-back performance on Christmas Day but No. 9 Wisconsin presents quite the test.
Tom Izzo was frustrated and confused following the Sunday night loss to Northwestern to open Big Ten play last weekend. He was confused with the performance and angry with the effort.
He wasn’t alone.
Spartan fans were also upset with the lack of fire Michigan State played with in Evanston which led to a huge upset loss.
