Spartans earn 106-68 triumph at Legends Classic
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (AP) -- Tom Izzo won his 341st game at Michigan State, setting the school record for victories in the No. 2 Spartans' 106-68 win over Massachusetts on Saturday night in the Legends Classic.
Izzo set the record the same week mentor and predecessor Jud Heathcote was inducted into the National Collegiate Hall of Fame.
For years, it was Izzo who sat by Heathcote's side as an assistant and associate head coach. When Heathcote retired, Izzo was his hand-picked successor.
Izzo had already matched him with one national championship apiece. He now stands alone atop the Spartans' win list with a 341-138 record in his 15th season.
Chris Allen led the Spartans (5-1) with 18 points.
