Michigan coach Dusty May and Michigan State coach Tom Izzo exchanged accusations of dirty play stemming from Friday’s game between the in-state rivals.
Both coaches pointed fingers at the opposing team’s conduct during the contest, with May disputing any suggestion that his concerns were imagined. “It wasn’t an illusion,” May said.
The comments underscored the intensity that often surrounds meetings between Michigan and Michigan State, with the coaches’ postgame remarks focusing on physicality and perceived intent during play.
