Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo was trending on Twitter on Saturday night. Initially, I was a bit concerned when I saw his name on the list of trending topics. Since it was a random Saturday in the offseason, my initial reaction was that something bad must have happened.
↵Luckily, Izzo was trending simply because he was shown on camera at Saturday night's NBA playoff game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. Here's a picture of Izzo, who was with his son (via @cjzero):

So, why was Izzo at the game? Here's the reason:
