Lansing State Journal

Michigan State Spartans head coach Tom Izzo reacts during the first half against the Virginia Cavaliers in the third round of the 2015 NCAA Tournament at Time Warner Cable Arena.

The No. 7 seed Michigan State Spartans (25-11) knocked out No. 2 seed and purported national title contender Virginia (30-4) to get to the East Regional semifinals.

CBS Sports posted a video to its Facebook page that might explain why the Spartans came out so strong.
