East Lansing — On most nights when Michigan State takes the court, Tom Izzo can often be seen in the sidelines, spinning his hand furiously in a circle as he implores his team to pick up the pace.
More often, it’s junior point guard Cassius Winston that is the one putting the Spartans’ collective foot on the gas, pushing and probing through the opponents' defense as he looks for the right moment to attack.
It’s one of the staples in Michigan State’s offense and has been for the better part of two decades.
At Wisconsin, there is no such approach.
