EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Former Michigan State and NBA player Paul Davis was ejected from the Breslin Center after vocally criticizing officials from the stands during the 12th-ranked Spartans’ 80-51 victory over Southern California on Monday night.
Michigan State led 67-46 with just over six minutes left when officials motioned toward the stands to point out Davis, who was eventually ordered to leave.
Television cameras showed longtime Michigan State coach Tom Izzo mouthing, “What are you doing?” toward Davis with his arms outstretched. Izzo, who coached Davis two decades ago, spoke in more detail about the incident after the game.
