Michigan State basketball pulls off first in Tom Izzo's 30-year tenure
The Michigan State basketball team extended their winning streak to 13 games after they beat the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Tuesday night. As the Michigan State basketball has wins over Illinois, North Carolina, and others in the winning streak, there could be a more vital one in the foreseeable future that has to do with a record for head coach Tom Izzo.
After the victory over Minnesota, the Spartans were undefeated in December and January, the first time that has happened in Izzo's 30-year stint with the program. Plus, Izzo is just two wins shy of having the most wins in Big Ten history, with Bob Knight holding the crown for now, but the head coach is more focused on the task at hand according to MLive.com.
“The battle cry is to be different and not give into all those things,” Izzo said. “I’m sticking with it, I believe in it.”
Though the Michigan State basketball head coach has said Illinois is the best team in the Big 10, the Spartans have played exceptional basketball night in and night out as they're ranked seventh in the nation. They're alone at the top of the conference at the moment with the team sustaining an impressive level of consistency which Izzo makes sure to mention.
