Recap of the Spartans’ upset win over UNC

Michigan State will leave Maui with a lot of room for improvement, but there is also a lot to be encouraged about.

The Spartans defeated No. 12 North Carolina 94-91 in their third and final game of the Maui Invitational to earn third place in the tournament. They finish 2-1 overall and have a solid win to build on as they prepare to head into Big Ten play next week.

Our Aidan Champion offers his initial thoughts on the Spartans’ win over the Tar Heels in this postgame edition of the Michigan State Spartans Insider Podcast.

You can watch the episode below:

“Well, Maui was good for us,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said after the game. “I really wasn’t happy with some of our guards yesterday. We challenged them, and let me say a few things right away. As you know, Jase Richardson was unable to play after the game. His head was just bothering him,” and he didn’t pass the entire protocol, but that was one thing.

“We were talking about what we wanted to do with their quick guards and we wanted to bring him in and Frankie Fidler came to me and kind of agreed and started Tre, so hats off to Frankie. …So hat Then there’s Book (Xavier Booker) who we’ve all been waiting for, that aggressive dunk, he just missed a few others, And we’re going to be more consistent, but for someone who’s been through this, “Whatever he’s been through, he deserves to feel good and be an important part of a big win.”
