Tom Izzo came out on top in his first match-up against the Dusty May-led No. 12 Michigan Wolverines, with the No. 14 Michigan State Spartans winning in a packed Crisler Center, 75-62.

With the victory at Crisler Center, Tom Izzo improves to 32-14 all-time against Michigan, when you factor in five vacated Michigan wins towards the start of his lengthy head coaching tenure. Izzo’s group shut down the Wolverines defensively while also creating consistent offense of their own to earn an impressive road victory.
