Episode 209 – Michigan State’s Tom Izzo

Michigan State’s Tom Izzo wants the Spartans to embrace the pressure this season. What will it be like for the Hall of Fame coach to start the season as the top ranked team? Who needs to step up with Josh Langford out? The importance of Cassius Winston. What he hopes to learn about the squad at the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden.
