WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Tom Izzo felt Joshua Langford gave him everything he had.
And it appears Michigan State basketball’s three-time captain ended his career early Friday morning with the Spartans’ 86-80 NCAA tournament loss to UCLA.
A fifth-year senior, Langford could return for the 2021-22 season and not count against MSU’s limit of 13 scholarships. Both he and Izzo hinted earlier this month the native of Huntsville, Alabama, was at least pondering that option.
Though he could change his mind, the 24-year-old seemed to be at peace and set in his decision to move on with his future.
