Former Michigan State player Paul Davis said something that rubbed an official the wrong way during the Spartans’ win over USC last night.
The official ejected Davis from the Breslin Center, then went over to explain the situation to Tom Izzo.
Izzo went ballistic on Davis and told him to get out.

After the game, Izzo explained that Davis said something he shouldn’t have said.
“What he said, you should never say anywhere in the world, and that ticked me off. And so, just because it’s 20 years later, I’m going to have to call him tomorrow and tell him what I thought of it. And you know what he’ll say? ‘I screwed up coach. Sorry.’ He kind of got after the official and he was 150 percent wrong. And for a guy like me to 150 percent agree with the official, it’s almost illegal,” Izzo explained.
