Niyo: Spartans' latest loss to Blue Devils doesn't sit well with Izzo

East Lansing — Duke is still Duke.

And Tom Izzo is still Tom Izzo.

So this loss won’t feel like any other loss for Michigan State’s Hall of Fame coach, who watched his Spartans go toe-to-toe with No. 4 Duke — “one of the top two or three best teams in the country,” in Izzo’s view — but still come out on the wrong end of a 66-60 final score Saturday afternoon at a sold-out Breslin Center.
