Tom Izzo: Meet the legend USC will face in the NCAA Tournament

Tom Izzo is a legend of the game, a fixture at #MichiganState. Andy Enfield and #USC will try to stop Izzo on Friday.

Tom Izzo has won a national title and made a pile of Final Fours at Michigan State, cementing himself as one of his generation’s greatest college basketball coaches.

Spartans Wire recalled one of the more emotional moments of Izzo’s 2023 season:

“Michigan State played their first home game following the horrific tragedy that happened on campus last week. It was an emotional night at the Breslin Center for the coaches, players and the fans. Amidst the emotional game, the fans were electric, providing an outstanding atmosphere for the team to feed off of.

“The Spartans ultimately ended up getting a huge victory over the Hoosiers, giving the home crowd something to be happy about.

“A day later, Tom Izzo reflected on the gameday atmosphere, and gave a huge thank you to the MSU fanbase.”
