This is a quick and physical Tom Izzo team that plays in-your-face defense. It all starts with guard Drew Neitzel, a classic playmaking guard who can score off the dribble or spotting up. Few in the nation shoot better. Versatile forward Raymar Morgan is blossoming into a full-blown star who can beat foes a variety of ways.

Michigan State is down to 22-to-1, that's a team that was as high as 35-to-1 and we're getting some play on them. We got a lot of play on Texas; they were as high as 50-to-1 and we're down to 12-to-1 on them....

I don’t have the emotional energy left to say much about what transpired today, but I will say this: I’m proud of how this Spartan team played today. They played like warriors and played well enough to win. When they left the court, the MSU contingent of fans (which I thought represented the university well both in numbers and rooting intensity) g

During Michigan State's post-game press conference, reporters attempted to ask coach Tom Izzo, along with Drew Neitzel and Travis Walton, if there was any type of "silver lining" that could be found in their heartbreaking 65-63 loss to Wisconsin in their Big Ten Tournament semifinal.

I swear this guy has it out for MSU. I've seen a ton of horribly officiated games and it seems like 99 percent of the time this zebra is involved. Maybe its not just him but it always involves a crew he's with. I'm never one to blame a loss on the ref, no matter how bad it is - If you play well enough, it should be a non-factor. However, its ge

Post game interview with Drew Neitzel where he says this may be one of the toughest losses of his career and how every game from here on out could be one of his last in a State uniform. The interview ends with "...as far as officiating, I'm not going to talk about that."
