Tom Izzo and Michigan State gave No. 2 Gonzaga everything they had Friday night  in San Diego, California. The Spartans fell, 64-63 aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in a game that went down to the final play.

The Spartans had a chance to win it, but guard Tyson Walker slipped and fell, forcing a less than ideal shot attempt at the buzzer that came up just short.

Izzo discusses what went wrong and expressed optimism for the future postgame.

The Spartans have a quick turnaround, facing No. 4 Kentucky Tuesday at 7 p.m. EST on ESPN.
