What Tom Izzo said after Michigan State’s win over Indiana

“Well, to be honest with you, for once, we got off to a good start. We haven’t been doing that. We decided to try to go inside, Kohler (had) been struggling, we thought we’d try to get him going. We get that 10-point lead and it kind of stayed that way.

“We didn’t do an ideal job of constructing on it, it is because they seem to be a good team. Everybody asks me, ‘Are they ok to be in the tournament?’ Read my lips: hell sure. It’s just that any individual’s received to lose some of these games. The league is so good.”

“I’m pleased with my guys, because getting back from that Thursday-Sunday deal, each on the highway, I assumed they confirmed quite a lot of character. I’m pleased with my employees, those preps usually are not simple at this time of yr. Kur got here off the bench and actually sparked us after making more than a few errors.”

“What I appreciated about the game is I assumed Jeremy took over. Everything we requested him to run early, to enter Jaxon, he did an ideal job of. I assumed Kur, who’s a sophomore now, took a big step ahead after not playing very properly the 5 minutes he was in there early and falling down and giving up 3s, and then he bounced again. That’s type of what you have gotta do.”

“We did it a bit of different means. We said this will likely be type of like the NCAA Tournament the place you have received a one- or two-day prep, one-day prep, so I feel it was good for us. I’m actually pleased with them, however I do not wish to be pleased with them until I’m finished playing.”

“All in all, guys, we’re in spring break, which implies you may follow like 100 occasions, and no person arrests you or something. But our guys deserve some day without work and we’ll get some issues finished tomorrow. “
