EAST LANSING – There would be no revenge for Tom Izzo on Dan Hurley.
Not for Michigan State basketball’s exhibition loss a year ago to Connecticut nor its season-ending defeat to the Huskies in the Sweet 16. Even if this one didn’t count.

The sixth-ranked Spartans struggled with No. 5 UConn’s experience and size en route to a 78-70 exhibition loss on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at Breslin Center.
Jeremy Fears Jr. finished with 23 points and eight assists and played through an ankle injury he suffered early in the second half. The fourth-year junior went 12-for-14 at the free-throw line and made 5 of 12 shots from the field. Freshman Jasiah Jervis scored 11 points with two 3-pointers off the bench, the only other MSU player to reach double figures.
