The Spartans (18-2, 9-0 Big Ten) are riding a 13-game winning streak, their longest in six years, and just became Izzo’s first squad to go unbeaten in both December and January. Even Izzo, whose team entered the season unranked, didn’t see this coming but still wants more from a deep group.

Tom Izzo needs two wins to become the winningest coach in Big Ten conference games, and the Michigan State basketball coach can do it in Los Angeles.
