""Appeared? It wasn't an illusion," May told reporters Monday. "I think there were several plays that are very dangerous, and I am incredibly proud of our guys for the responses they had to some of those situations. Incredibly proud of their self-control, their restraint and their impulse control. I'll leave it at that. But they're not isolated incidents.""
""I have no idea, but I thought there were a couple of plays the other way too, like jumping into a guy and getting a foul when it was a complete joke," Izzo said Monday. "This is what it's supposed to be. And you know what? Michigan is over. I don't care what Dusty says. I don't care what they say.""
""There were some things Jeremy did. I addressed on it," Izzo said. "Him and their point guard were going at it pretty good. That's what happens in games like this, so if anybody did anything dirty, tell them to call me and I would be more than happy to address it. If it was physical play, that's the way that game is always going to be.""
Michigan defeated Michigan State 83-71 in East Lansing on Friday. Michigan coach Dusty May accused Michigan State players of deliberate, dangerous plays after a sequence in which Jeremy Fears Jr. made contact with Yaxel Lendeborg that appeared to trip him. May praised Michigan players for restraint and impulse control amid several risky plays. Tom Izzo pushed back, saying Michigan committed its own questionable acts and framing Fears' actions as heated competition with Michigan point guard Elliot Cadeau. Fans taunted May with expletive-filled chants before tipoff. Michigan led by 16 at halftime and closed with a 19-8 run in the final four minutes. Both programs are competing in the Big Ten race.
