Tom Izzo blames Spartans' shaky Sweet 16 start on pre-game viewing of Get Hard

The Spartans' coach joked with MLive.com that the team's slow start in the Sweet 16 game was probably due to his allowing the players to go see a movie earlier in the afternoon. And Izzo picked Get Hard, because, "I didn't want anything too deep," that might throw the team off mentally.
