• Paul Davis played for Izzo at Michigan St in the early 00s

• Davis was ejected for verbal abuse of officials on Monday

Former Michigan State and NBA player Paul Davis was ejected from his alma mater's Breslin Center after vocally criticizing officials from the stands during the 12th-ranked Spartans' 80-51 victory over Southern California on Monday night.

Michigan State led 67-46 with just over six minutes left when officials motioned toward the stands to point out Davis, who was eventually ordered to leave.
