COLUMBUS, OH -If Reggie Jackson is “Mr. October,” then perhaps Tom Izzo is “Mr. March.”
The legendary Michigan State head coach has taken the Spartans to six Final Fours, winning the national title in 2000 with Mateen Cleaves at the helm.
A dozen years later, another charismatic superstar – Draymond Green – is looking to secure a second national title for Izzo, and third overall for the program.
The top-seeded Spartans will face 9th-seeded St. Louis in the 3rd round of the West regional on Sunday.
Wayne Larrivee caught up with Coach Izzo ahead of the game.
