The best reactions to Michigan State's NCAA Tournament win over New Mexico
admin_news
Michigan State basketball is still dancing. The Spartans were able to survive multiple haymakers from the New Mexico Lobos on Sunday night to dance their way into the Sweet Sixteen. This was a bit of a milestone Sweet Sixteen appearance for Izzo as it was his sixteenth career appearance in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
It definitely wasn't an easy win for Michigan State, as New Mexico gave the Spartans everything they had, forcing Tom Izzo to make some inspired adjustments at halftime, like sending out Coen Carr as a starter in the second half, to get his team over the hump and into the next round. Eventually, like they seem to have been able to do all year, the Spartans' relentless attack and deep roster was able to wear down the Lobos and help them pull away with the win.
After the game, social media was on fire as MSU danced their way past the Lobos and into the Sweet Sixteen. You can see some of the best reactions to the win below:

HOF Coach Izzo’s smart adjustment to go small gave us the defensive edge that won us the game!

How about Jase Richardson? Lot of guys would have folded the way it was going but he made a couple huge plays in the final minutes. Impressive.— Matt Charboneau (@mattcharboneau) March 24, 2025
