Tom Izzo calls out effort of Nick Ward, Aaron Henry

Tom Izzo didn’t like the way a couple of players rebounded in Saturday’s loss at Indiana. So when the Spartans headed to Illinois on Tuesday night, the Michigan State coach decided a shakeup in the starting lineup was in order. Enter Xavier Tillman for Nick Ward and Kyle Ahrens for Aaron Henry. “No quarterback controversy,” Izzo said. “I did not like the way that Nick or Aaron cut out in the last game and that’s an effort-related thing.”
