Tom Izzo expresses frustration with the Pitino family

Michigan State's basketball team is enjoying a strong season. They surprised many by winning the Big Ten regular-season title. Recently, they had some noteworthy moments, including a thrilling last-second win against Maryland. However, they faced a setback when they lost to Wisconsin in the semifinals, which ended their chance at a full Big Ten title sweep. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Michigan State played against Bryant. Although some thought it would be an easy game, the Spartans won decisively with a score of 87-62, even after starting off behind. This victory moves them into the second round, where they will play the New Mexico Lobos. Richard Pitino, the Lobos' coach, is the son of famous coach Rick Pitino. Michigan State's coach, Tom Izzo, has had many encounters with Rick and is now facing Richard. Izzo made headlines with a candid remark about the Pitino family, saying, “D*** family is ruining my life.” Despite this comment, Izzo knows Richard will have his team ready. The upcoming game promises to be exciting as both teams aim for victory.
