“I’m really disappointed, but it just goes to prove that this can affect anyone,” head coach Tom Izzo said after the Iowa game was postponed. “I feel so comfortable that me, my son and my players did everything possible and followed every protocol as best we could. I’m really, really impressed with the way they have conducted themselves. This virus does not discriminate and I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to wear a mask, wash your hands and follow protocols.”
Izzo tested positive for COVID-19 in early November before the start of the season.
It’s unclear if any additional games will be affected. The Spartans aren’t scheduled to take the court again until Jan. 23 against No. 14 Illinois.
Michigan State is currently 8-4 this season, but has started Big Ten play with four losses in six games.
