Game Preview
Michigan State is in danger of descending to a place the Spartans have never been during Tom Izzo’s 29 years as head coach.
If the Spartans (9-6, 1-3 Big Ten) can’t recover from Sunday’s 14-point loss at Northwestern and they fall again Thursday night in Champaign at No. 10 Illinois (11-3, 2-1), they’ll be off to their first 1-4 start in Big Ten play since 1989, when Izzo served as Jud Heathcote’s top assistant.
That’s not what anyone had in mind when Michigan State opened the season at No. 4 in The Associated Press’ Top 25 poll — yet here we are, and there was Izzo going scorched earth in Evanston, Ill., following Sunday’s loss.
