Tom Izzo used the term “quarterback controversy” to describe Michigan State’s two-guard position after the Duke loss a couple of weeks ago, and it fit perfectly.
Michigan State had been cycling different players to start at the shooting guard spot through the first month and a half of the season, but it doesn’t look like the answer is obvious yet.
Izzo thought he may have had a breakthrough against Penn State, inserting Divine Ugochukwu into the starting lineup as the two-guard. It was the first time he started at Michigan State, and it was also a new position for him as he had spent the first part of the season as Jeremy Fears Jr.
