EAST LANSING, Mich. — Coming off Tuesday’s double-overtime victory over No. 4 Kentucky, Tom Izzo was on the lookout for his team getting a little too impressed with itself.
As Izzo describes, “fat and sassy.”
For almost 40 minutes on Friday, there was no sign of that as Michigan State opened a 15-point lead with less than eight minutes to play. Villanova came storming back, though, and took a 3-pointer in the final seconds that would've won the game.
