EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State coach Tom Izzo began his weekly press conference Monday with thoughts on Sunday's loss at Indiana, one the Spartans can't feel too bad about.

MSU has a bit of a break now with just one game over the next nine days, as Illinois travels to Breslin Center Thursday night.
The Spartans' head coach also touched on a variety of additional topics, including:
**A smaller playing rotation against the Hoosiers and what he needs from the rest of his bench in the future
**Keith Appling's poor performance and one positive that came as a result
**Freshman Kenny Kaminski's surprising play on scout team
