East Lansing — This week, Tom Izzo still wasn’t quite ready to move on to next season.
The first-round upset at the hands of No. 15 Middle Tennessee was still fresh on the Michigan State coach’s mind, and he admitted he was having a tough time.
“The highs and lows of this sport are incredible,” Izzo said. “But how you handle them, how you move forward. ... I’m not moving forward yet. I’m not gonna move forward until I get solely in my mind — I think I’m 99 percent comfortable with what happened — but until I’m 100, until I maybe watch the rest of the tournament, until I evaluate the film again, then I’m going to move forward.
