Final Four Not Good Enough for Izzo's Troops

WKAR
"Current Sports" reporter Al Martin talks with MSU forward Gavin Schilling on the upcoming men's basketball season.

The MSU men's basketball team had a magical season last year, making it all the way to the Final Four before bidding adieu at the hands of the Duke Blue Devils. MSU returns nine of its top 11 scorers from last season and are poised to have a great year. 

WKAR's Al Martin talks with the team at Media Day this week and addresses how the expectations have now shifted. Getting to a Final Four is no longer good enough for head coach Tom Izzo and his team.
