Michigan State's March Madness quest is over. After a commanding first half, the Spartans were unable to hold on down the stretch of an eventual 86-80 overtime loss against UCLA, keeping head coach Tom Izzo and company searching for answers following a First Four exit from the NCAA tournament.
"Well, just disappointed," Izzo said after Thursday's game. "I mean, we had the game won. And we made some of the same mistakes we've made two or three times this year in critical situations, and I thought we played incredibly well offensively and incredibly poor defensively.
"And give them a lot of credit — they made some plays. We were up five, six. Seemed like we had it in control and just didn't rebound the ball like we could have or should have, especially under some situations.
"So it is what it is. It's a shame, because I thought we played some of our best offensive basketball of the year."
