The Michigan State basketball<\/a> regular season has officially come to a close. The Spartans head into postseason play with an abysmal 18-13 record and 10-10 Big Ten mark. All seemed like it was going to be OK as the Spartans entered the final quarter of the conference season, that was until MSU lost four of its last five games including a 65-64 loss to Indiana<\/a> in the finale. Everyone associated with the program, from coaches, players, alumni, and fans are not happy with this season’s results. That includes Tom Izzo.<\/p>\n During his Tuesday press conference, he spoke about his feelings about the regular season to the media as they prepare for Minnesota in the Big Ten Tournament.<\/p>\n Izzo began this discussion<\/a> by saying \u201cnobody is more upset\u201d than him about the 18-13 regular season record. A lot of MSU fans won\u2019t like this comment or agree with it, but it\u2019s likely the truth. Izzo is the one who has to answer to the poor season, not any of us fans. He\u2019s the one who leads and makes decisions for the team, so their struggles are a direct reflection of him. Knowing that, I\u2019d be upset if I were in his place, too.<\/p>\n But the best thing Izzo said on this topic is when he took ownership of their record.<\/p>\n MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo says he held practice yesterday "to get some sweat on us, so that we could get rid of maybe the season." Adds, "I think we kind of deserved some of what we've gotten. And I think in some ways, I still think we're better than what we played at times."<\/p>\n — Chris Solari (@chrissolari) March 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTom Izzo reacts to poor regular season<\/h3>\n
