How Tom Izzo went the ‘Jordan Rules’ route on Caleb Wilson to take down UNC

Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans have a ton of respect for Caleb Wilson.

In fact, Izzo wasn't shy about saying how his team was focused on slowing down the five-star freshman, something the legendary head coach admitted was a collective effort that was strategically planned out.

Wilson scored 18 points but had to work extremely hard for them, as he connected on just six of 13 attempts from the floor while the Spartans brought tons of physicality his way. The freshman forward did capitalize at the free throw line, knocking down six of his seven attempts.
