MICHIGAN STATE PLAYERS TOWEL FIGHT DURING TIME-OUT IN NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME

Coach Tom Izzo 

With Michigan State's lead over Memphis slowly slipping away Saturday afternoon, the Spartans were growing frustrated. During a break in the second half, Derrick Nix and Keith Appling — teammates since high school — got into an altercation and snapped towels at each other.

Michigan State has since stabilized and leads Memphis by 12 with three minutes to play.
