Per Myron P:

Michigan coach Dusty May and Michigan State coach Tom Izzo are accusing each other's team of dirty play after the Wolverines' 83-71 victory in East Lansing on Friday.

During one sequence in the game, Michigan State star Jeremy Fears Jr. made contact with Yaxel Lendeborg, appearing to trip the Michigan star.

May said it was intentional.

"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."

When he was made aware of May's comments, Izzo pushed back and said the Wolverines had gotten away with their own questionable acts.

"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."

That game was not for the timid and weak. Both teams played as if they were on the ice rink, checking each other without pads. It was one of those bruising games the B1G is known for.
Personally, I think Izzo knew that was the only way his team could have a shot at winning. Michigan is more skilled at nearly every position and certainly has the better 3 point shooters.

Fears is a dirty player. He’s going to hurt someone. Just hope it’s not Wagler next Saturday.
