EAST LANSING — Tom Izzo and his Michigan State basketball team arrived for shootaround in Ann Arbor on Jan. 7 riding an eight-game win streak. The opponent, Michigan, hovered just above .500 after losing two straight and three of their previous four.
The next morning, Izzo took his team home, instead of to Crisler Center. U-M called off the game (and its next, against Purdue) due to COVID-19 issues.
