Tom Izzo reacts to Michigan State’s historic loss to Iowa [Video]

Tom Izzo and Michigan State were on the brink of a significant Big Ten road win, leading by 13 points with only two minutes and three seconds left in the game. However, Iowa fought back fiercely and tied the game in regulation, eventually winning in overtime 112-106. According to NCAA records, MSU is the fourth Division I team in history to lose after leading by at least 11 points with less than a minute left in regulation. Following the game, Spartans Izzo spoke to the media and he was not too happy.

“That was piss-poor coaching,” Izzo said. “You have a 13-point lead with two minutes left and you can’t win a game. … (For) 90% of that game, we did a hell of a job. But the game is not 40 minutes. Sometimes it’s 45, but it’s never 38. And that’s my responsibility.”

“Focus and finish are the two Fs for me. And I don’t know why we didn’t. But those are things that a leader has gotta do,” Izzo said, slamming his fist on the table due to a third F – frustration. “I get all this credit for leading; I didn’t lead them. And we did not finish that game. And I take as much responsibility as anybody. …“We’re the leading 3-point defending team in the whole conference, one of the better ones in the country. Give (Iowa) credit, they hit some. But give us blame, we just didn’t stay disciplined.”

Key Points:

  • MSU lost to Iowa in a historic fashion, becoming only the fourth Division I team to lose after leading by at least 11 points with less than a minute left in regulation.
  • The Spartans blew a 13-point lead with only two minutes and three seconds left in the game, allowing Iowa to tie and eventually win in overtime.
  • MSU’s NCAA tournament hopes may have been dashed due to the loss.
  • Iowa hit five 3-pointers in the final 40 seconds of regulation, securing the victory.
  • Tom Izzo was not too happy following the historic loss
