Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and his Spartans fell victim to UCLA and Mick Cronin on Tuesday, the latest triumph of the Bruins' six-game win streak.

It was the second loss in Big Ten play for Michigan State, and a season-defining win for UCLA, as the Bruins took down the Spartans on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. After the game, UCLA head coach Mick Cronin talked about the win, and then had some very interesting comments on how relationship with Tom Izzo, who he spoke extremely highly of.

UCLA's coach has generated more headlines for his grievances than for the Bruins' (improving) play on the floor.

Izzo, in his 30th year with the school, has the Spartans ranked No. 9 in the country, leading the conference as both teams chase first-round byes in the Big Ten Tournament.
