After a rollercoaster ride of a season that ended in a dominant five-game winning streak to earn a share of the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Regular Season Championship, the 2019-20 Michigan State Basketball season has come to an abrupt close. The NCAA and Big Ten Conference both decided today to cancel their end of season tournaments. MSU head coach Tom Izzo issued a statement Thursday night addressing the sudden end to an emotional season.
Here is Izzo’s statement:
“I’m obviously disppointed to have our season come to such an abrupt end. It goes without saying, this is something that none of us have ever experienced,” Izzo said. “I feel most for our seniors, for guys like Cassius and Kyle and Conner, who wanted to have one last shot at March Madness. Telling them their career was over was extremely emotional. But these are unprecedented times and some things are bigger than basketball. The primary concern for all of us is the health and well-being of our students-athletes, staff and fans.’”
