After Michigan State opened Big Ten play on Sunday night with a 14-point loss to Northwestern in a game where the Spartans played poorly in nearly every facet, coach Tom Izzo understandably was upset and said he was certain when he looked at the film, he wouldn’t see anything to change his mind.
It was in that moment after the loss to the Wildcats that Izzo called the Spartans’ performance “inept” and “disgusting.”
Well, as No. 12 Michigan State continued preparations for its Christmas Day showdown with No. 9 Wisconsin at the Breslin Center, Izzo said watching the film merely confirmed all he first thought.
