Tom Izzo wasn't shy about it. He said Sunday's 77-70 win over No. 7 Michigan, given the circumstances, was the biggest of his career as Michigan State's head coach.

Watch how Izzo and the 10th-ranked Spartans celebrated in Ann Arbor in the videos below.

Junior point guard Cassius Winston recorded 27 points, eight assists and eight rebounds to lead the Spartans out of a three-game losing streak to the Wolverines. Kenny Goins (16 points), Xavier Tillman (14) and Matt McQuaid (13) all scored in double figures as well.

The win puts MSU alone in first place in the Big Ten standings.

MSU will face the Wolverines again March 9 in East Lansing to close the regular season.
