Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo walked slowly through the locker room, holding a can of Coke, with an incredible look on his face.
It was pure satisfaction.
Pure joy.
Izzo looked at Xavier Tillman and smiled, as Tillman was being interviewed after MSU’s 77-70 significant victory over Michigan at Crisler Center. Izzo challenged Tillman to take his game to the next level, after Nick Ward was injured, and Tillman responded with 14 points against the Wolverines.
