Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo met with the media Monday to preview tonight’s game against Kentucky.
Izzo said it’s a privilege to play in the Champions Classic each season. He compared Kentucky to a more athletic Arkansas, which the Spartans beat 69-66 a few weeks ago.
“I thought Arkansas was one of the most talented teams I saw, and I did, but they had some younger guys, they didn’t have as much experience,” Izzo said. “Kentucky is even more athletic and tougher.”
