A mohawk might look nice
So how does MSU feel about Purdue's loss at Michigan to give the Spartans more room at the top?
"Yeah, the door's been opened wider, but ... I want to win coming through the front door, not the back door," Tom Izzo said.
"It was a good win for Michigan, a good win for the conference to get more teams in (the NCAA Tournament," Travis Walton said, "but we've got to go play if we want this."
Durrell Summers took part in practice Friday and looked good. His ankle is a bit sore but he should start and give a full day's work Sunday at Illinois.
As for Izzo, he admitted that he did say he'd shave his head at the Izzone campout in the fall if the Spartans won the Big Ten. This was in reference to the close shaves all his players got in the offseason. And it's almost time to pay the barber.
"Win it outright," he said Friday, "how's that?"
It's times like this I wish I had the computer skills to photoshop an Izzo/Kojak mixture.
