The No. 7 Michigan State Spartans (18-2, 9-0) are just a pair of wins away from landing another accolade for their Hall-of-Fame coach. Just after Spartans coach Tom Izzo celebrated his 70th birthday on Thursday, his program has a chance to do something very special over the next couple of games. Izzo is two conference wins away from passing legendary Indiana Hoosiers coach Bobby Knight’s 353 career Big Ten wins. The Spartans coach sits at 352 after Tuesday’s crushing win over the Minnesota Gophers at home.
