Finally, this Michigan State basketball team has started to look like the team we were promised this offseason, as the Spartans had their second consecutive blowout win, this time over Alcorn State.
After the game, MSU head coach Tom Izzo spoke to the media to recap his team’s performance, and give a funny anecdote about his reaction to an insane Coen Carr dunk.
You can see the best quotes from that session below.

Izzo on getting the freshmen minutes
Izzo says getting the freshmen as many minutes as they did tonight was good, particularly with Arizona next and two Big Ten games in December. "It's a full plate."

Izzo on Tyson Walker's illness
Izzo says he's confident Tyson Walker will be back vs. Arizona on Thursday, "but at what level, I don't know." Has had a cold since before Friday's game. "He wasn't doing good today. I don't know why he even came to the game, but they didn't feel he was contagious."
