Michigan State Walk-On Steven Izzo, Son of Tom, Scores 1st Career Points vs. Rutgers

Michigan State walk-on Steven Izzo, who is the son of Spartans head coach Tom Izzo, has notched his first career points.

The senior finally got on the board in the 44th game of his collegiate career. During Michigan State's rout of Rutgers on Sunday, Izzo came in late with the game out of hand. He made a move towards the basket and threw up a layup while getting fouled, and the shot went in.

The celebration was unlike any other.

Izzo proceeded to drain the free throw, giving him three points in the game and in his career.

The layup was just his third shot attempt of the season and just the 13th attempt of his career. Now, he has finally gotten one to go down in a moment that he, and his father, will remember for a long time.

While Izzo had a memorable day, the Spartans aren't having a season to remember. They began the year with an upset loss to James Madison and are now 10-7 on the year and 2-4 in conference play.

Michigan State had a rocky to start to last season as well, but still managed to make the Sweet 16. Perhaps Izzo's big shot will spark some energy heading into the rest of the year.
