Tom Izzo Plays Accordion Ending Michigan State's 4 Game Trip to Italy - USAby Harley Jones |
The Michigan State basketball team took a trip to Italy for some overseas competition, and despite a fairly unsuccessful trip, it ended with a jolly Tom Izzo playing the accordion at the team's final dinner. The Spartans kicked off their trip with a 98-54 win over Basket Fiorentina - but dropped their next three games to the Russian Senior National Team, the Italian national team, and Georgia's national team. They lost to the Georgia national team by one point after Bryn Forbes missed a 40-foot shot at the buzzer to win the game. Even though the team came back from Europe with just one win, Izzo was happy with what the team took away from the trip. "This trip was as good as anything I've done in my 20 years," he said in an article posted on Michigan State's athletics website. The last time Izzo was seen playing the accordion in public was at last season's Midnight Madness, where he played to 'Rock All Night' dressed as a member of KISS. |
