Coming off the Spartans’ second-place finish in the Battle for Atlantis tournament, Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo started off his weekly press conference by discussing the team’s upcoming matchup with Louisville, adding that he hopes those in the crowd makes their presence felt.
“They’re a very balanced team, very good defensively,” Izzo said of the Cardinals. “It should be a very good game, I’m hoping that this is one of those big games when you hope the home crowd makes a difference.”
Speaking about the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, Coach Izzo gave credit to the teams the Spartans faced, starting with Loyola Chicago.
