MSU men’s basketball Head Coach Tom Izzo opened a press conference after his team’s 66-56 victory over Nebraska with this:
“You gotta learn how to win, you gotta learn how to lose.”
Despite clinching their first victory since Jan. 5 on Saturday night, MSU’s confidence against Nebraska looked shaken. After opening on a 7-0 run the Spartan offense went cold. The trend of sloppy ball-handling continued and they ended the night tying their season-high 22 turnovers.
