Despite playing an excellent half of basketball where they led UCLA by 11 points heading into halftime, much of the conversation around Michigan State basketball’s matchup against the Bruins has been regarding a heated exchange between Tom Izzo and Gabe Brown.

Michigan State fans (and most fans familiar with Izzo) seem to understand that this interaction is pretty common and comes from a healthy place, but the national media will certainly jump on this moment similarly to how they did with the Aaron Henry argument a few years back.

While many in the media were quick to jump on Izzo for how he handled the situation, it was his former players who came to his immediate defense on social media:
