MSU Basketball head coach Tom Izzo addressed Twitter criticism of Michigan State players

Michigan State Men’s Basketball came into the season with lofty expectations, and while they have been generally very good, some recent losses have had MSU fans griping on social media. While every sports team is subject to criticism, it can go too far, and head coach Tom Izzo has had enough.

After the team’s recent home loss to Penn State, Izzo addressed those ‘fans’ who have been making comments. Here are, in my opinion, the two most impactful quotes from that statement:

“If there’s any Michigan State people out there that are abusing some of my players on that freakin’ Twitter…I’m sick of it.”

“I get paid a lot of money so take your shots at me. But don’t take them on a kid who’s been a 3.7 student he’s done more for this university than most of those people have.. it’s despicable to me.”
