Around 1:20 p.m. Wednesday, Tom Izzo felt like Michigan State basketball’s trip to Iowa remained a go, even with two positive COVID-19 cases within his program.
“And thank God everybody else in the team has continued to test negative,” he said.
About six hours later, the game was postponed. A third case — the person was not identified — was discovered within his program.
“I’m really disappointed, but it just goes to prove that this can affect anyone,” Izzo said in a statement Wednesday night. “I feel so comfortable that me, my son and my players did everything possible and followed every protocol as best we could.
