EAST LANSING, Mich. — Everybody wanted to take the blame when it was over.
Tom Izzo went first, pounding the podium at one point to emphasize the lethargic start and passive play — the things that he felt led to No. 17 Michigan State's 70-62 loss to No. 14 Wisconsin at the Breslin Center on Tuesday night — were a reflection on the Spartans' head coach.
"I'm putting it all on me, I really am," Izzo said. "I have to do a better job. Team doesn't play with toughness and tenacity, that falls on my shoulders."
