Michigan State head coach/psycho Tom Izzo briefly lost his mind yesterday, exploding at freshman forward Aaron Henry during a timeout—after a 10-0 Spartans run, by the way—in MSU’s eventual 76-65 first-round win over Bradley.

THE Young Lions were denied victory in this Euro 2019 warm-up — by a Polish super-Seb. Dominic Calvert-Lewin fired Aidy Boothroyd’s boys ahead against their fellow finalists in the 13th minute.
