The 2025-26 Michigan State basketball season didn’t end exactly how Tom Izzo had hoped, but he knew that his team was probably outperforming expectations all season.
Although the Spartans didn’t have their most talented team in the Izzo era, they did have one of the more cohesive units, leading to a 27-8 finish to the year. Unfortunately, the entire season was overshadowed by Michigan’s success down the road. The Wolverines ran away with the Big Ten title and then won the national title with relative ease.
Izzo wants to respond to that with his second national title in Detroit next spring…
