Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo Sees Big Challenge In Facing Tar Heels

Posted Nov 27, 2025
Tom Izzo and North Carolina are no strangers on the basketball court, and it happens again Thursday in the ninth different venue this century. UNC won eight of those games, including in the 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2024 NCAA Tournaments. The Spartans won a year ago in Maui, but the Tar Heels are quite different from the team Izzo faced last season. (TarHeel247)
