Tom Izzo Helps Out Snowbound Motorist

It has been a tough year for Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans. So now the coach is looking for some good karma as the season winds to a close with MSU perched on the NCAA tournament bubble.

Izzo paid it forward Monday, helping a stranded motorist push her car out of the snow. But he almost drove right by the struggling woman before reversing course.

He told reporters that he was just about to drive by before he thought, "God, I've got to be a better human being." He reversed course, then, and helped push the woman out of the snow.

"She said, 'Thanks, coach,'" Izzo said. "That was probably the first good thing I've done in a month. How about that? A good deed before 8 o'clock in the morning."

Hopefully for Izzo, some good things will start coming his way. And why not start Sunday, when the Spartans welcome No. 8 Purdue to the Breslin Center.
