Buzzer thoughts from U of L's rout of WKU--Louisville Courier-Journal
Trey Lewis complements: Every team needs a Robin to its Batman, and Lewis played that role again on Saturday. He scored in a variety of ways, including a pair of rather cunning drives and layups in the second half. He produced a nice line -- 15 points, three assists and a steal.Cleveland State scores with 1.8 left, beats Belmont 67-65--CBS Sports

No. 1 Michigan State beats Northeastern, 78-58--The Detroit Free Press
Senior guard Bryn Forbes’ hard dive to the floor for a loose ball in the first half seemed to spark his team, and the Spartans cranked up their defense and transition game to run away in the second half. After Forbes’ dive, which resulted in a Northeastern turnover out of bounds, Izzo gave him a two-handed shove – an emphatic show of affection for a play the Spartans needed.No. 1 MSU goes 12-0 after win over Northeastern--The Detroit News
“I thought he was about to get T’d up,” Costello said of Izzo.
“That’s what gets him excited -- hustle plays, energy plays, that’s what he likes,” Forbes, who seems to be making them as much as anyone of late, said of Izzo.
“I thought that changed our whole game,” Izzo said of the play. “And if I told you of all the people on my team, including my managers, he would have been the last guy that (would have) gotten on the floor in the last year or so.”
The Huskies built a 15-10 lead, but Michigan State started to chip away with a 7-0 run, and in the midst of that stretch, it was Bryn Forbes that slid across the floor near midcourt and forced Northeastern turnover.Cleveland State wins at the end, 67-65, over Belmont--Cleveland Plain Dealer
As the players went to the bench on the stoppage, a fired-up Izzo shoved Forbes in the chest and yelled, ‘Way to go.’
“He loves diving on the floor,” Forbes said. “I don’t know what it is, but it’s something about diving on the floor. He was just excited, that’s what gets him excited. Hustle plays, energy plays, that’s what he likes.”
It was exactly what the Spartans needed as it came during a 17-4 run that helped them take a 34-25 lead at the break.
“I thought that changed our whole game,” Izzo said. “I’m impressed with him and don’t even know what he scored. But he’s doing more things and we needed someone to light a match.”
Forbes has tended to spark most games with his shooting, and when he transferred from Cleveland State last season, Izzo was constantly pushing Forbes to play tougher.
That led to an off-season transformation. Forbes is stronger, physically, but he’s been more of an all-around player this season.
“Bryn's been called every name in the book,” senior Matt Costello said. “Just like 'What are you doing, what are you doing? You need to toughen up.’ This year he's taken it to heart, gotten bigger, stronger, has a different mindset.”
...
Now the Spartans look to stand alone. A victory on Tuesday against Oakland would improve Michigan State to 13-0, the best start in school history.
“We’re excited about it,” Forbes said. “It’s a big milestone to hit, the best start in school history. I don’t think we’re close to stopping, we don’t want to be close to stopping. I think we’ve got bigger goals in mind.”
