WATCH: Michigan State G Tre Holloman Speaks After Win Over Michigan
In this story:
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Tre Holloman once again proved to be too much to handle for No. 8 Michigan State's in-state rival, No. 17 Michigan, when the Spartans handled the Wolverines, 79-62, on Senior Day.
Less than a month after dropping 18 on the Maize and Blue, Holloman posted a career-high 20 points while leading the Spartans to victory on Sunday.
The veteran guard has taken a major leap this season and has been key to Michigan State's return to prominence.
Holloman addressed the media after the win. You can watch some of his media availability below:
Below is a partial transcript from Michigan State coach Tom Izzo's opening statement of his postgame press conference:
Izzo: "As you get older, you don't know when you'll get another opportunity to enjoy something. But so many people I want to thank. I just think our marketing people are brilliant. Our AD, our president. And everybody did their job, and our fans and former players -- that's why I never wanted to leave this place. And I know every place has good things and bad things. We've had our share of bad things. But I just love the direction we're headed. I'm glad I stuck around to hopefully be part of this resurgence. And not for the athletics, for the program, I'm just talking about for all of us. So, the game was -- I thought we played awfully well first half. We really did, shot it better, didn't turn the ball over, two turnovers. They had a bunch of them. The second half, we started out good, we get that 25-point lead, and then, we were poor, and they were good. Give them credit, they were good. But we turned the ball over like I haven't seen. I mean, we're spin dribbling, we did some crazy things. And so, I think it'll be a good teaching point in the film session that you can't have those leads; you get in the tournament when it's one-and-done, and those things cost you. So, hopefully, we'll learn from it.”
