"I want to apologize to all of you," Izzo said afterward. "That was a disgusting display of basketball. We played scared. It got to a point between Chris (Hill), Alan (Anderson) and Paul (Davis) to where they didn't look like they wanted to play.

"I've never been more disappointed in my nine years here by a team's performance. If guys don't compete harder, they're not going to be here. That locker room is open. Ask them. It's about time some boys become men. If that means I'm calling them out, that's what I'm doing."
