After eking out a 63-58 win over Maryland late Tuesday night, the Spartans have taken adequate time to not only rest, but get back in the gym and grind. Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said there’s an important air of freshness among the group as they look ahead to their trip to Columbus to face Ohio State on Sunday.
He links that freshness to their recent break in the schedule. The break of five days between games is the longest rest they’ve had since January rolled around — they’re used to three-day intervals with a regular routine: play and scout the next opponent and play.
