If they lose any of their next games and he has excuses....he should remember he said this (per Comp's article)
"The entire Big Ten season has been a gauntlet.
But the last six games of the regular season seemed to set itself aside, after the rematches with Purdue and Iowa. Games against Illinois and Michigan were re-shuffled into the bottom of the deck a few days ago, and the gauntlet became pricklier. MSU’s chances of survival seemed dim.
But Izzo balled his hand into a fist.
“I’m the one that wanted to play the games,” Izzo said. “I said schedule as many games as you can; these guys want to play games.
“I didn’t think it would be against No. 5, No. 4 and two games against No. 3, and the other two are against tournament teams. Let’s lace ‘em up. Let’s do it. I’m ready.”
Same guy that was complaining that they just played and OSU has been off since Sunday.
