Senior forward Draymond Green put in 22 points in the win and put his team in a first-place tie in the Big Ten with its second straight win.

But the night belonged to Tom Izzo, for whom the high water mark of 400 wins was elusive this week.

“I’d like to do some special things with this group because I have such appreciation for them,” an emotional Izzo said after the game. “It’s kind of a hodgepodge group, a really different group, and they’ve melted together because of an exceptional leader…and that is Draymond (Green).”
