East Lansing — Tom Izzo didn’t sleep much Sunday night.
Perhaps it was the fact he got the news sometime after 4 a.m. that junior Xavier Tillman and his wife, Tamia, welcomed their baby boy into the world.
Perhaps it was simply the fact Izzo’s mind rarely stops. Having lost four of the last five games, including blowing a seven-point lead in the final three minutes Saturday against Maryland, will get the mind working overtime.
Izzo’s was for a variety of reasons, so since he was up, he started poring over game film, dissecting the numbers trying to unlock the key to what has ailed Michigan State this season.
