Sparty is going to another Final Four. This my be the most difficult time to be a Michigan fan since the 60's.

NCAA absolutely loves MSU hoops ever since Magic. They are the equivalent of Notre Dame football. They could finish .500 on the year and still be ranked in the top 20 and get a 10 seed in the dance.

Michigan state is so lucky it is unreal he draw they got this year. Back to back teams with important players that are injured, number 1 seed already knocked out, and if they win this game hey get another manageable squad. Un-fucking-believable.

I'll bet this guy LOVES him some "fiery" when it's Harblow.

Tbh it works. Izzo has a reputation and knows how to manipulate the committee and nation every year. It even rubs off on refs with all his bitching. I wish Beilein would be more fiery sometimes... but I also like cool calm and collected.

Fuck state. Fuck izzo. Fuck these fucking refs. And fuck UVA for not having a single shooter on their fucking team

Get ready for Michigan state in the final four and everyone talking izzo up like he's some kind of god. How did they get such an easy fucking draw? Un-ucking-believable

With all the 4 stars and 5 stars on his team he better make the sweet 16. If Beilein had Izzo's talent we would be in the final four every year. Coach K and Roy Williams all have 4 times as many national championships as Izzo has and they get the same talent. Do you honestly think Izzo could make Stauskas, Levert, Burke, and Hardaway all 1st/2nd round picks from nowhere. In EL they recruit 5 star guys like Payne, Dawson, and Appling keep them 4 years because they can't develop enough to leave for the NBA. Beilein makes 3 stars into first rounders in 2 years.

Yes, there was a period of time when Tom Izzo was a better coach than John Beilein. That is no longer the case, which is why Michigan has had more recent tournament success, more recent conference titles, and why Beilein is 6-4 against Izzo over the last five regular seasons despite working with far lesser talent. Right now, Beilein is just better.

Thanks Sparty for ruining my bracket and my weekend. Izzo and Bennett just sent basketball back to the dinosaur era with that game. Now we get to hear how great Izzo is the entire week. Just once I would like to see a ref Tee up Izzo for being on the court. Hopefully, this game will give a good reason to implement a 30 second shot clock. Ahhhh!!

And Hollis....

They've gotten better as the year went on but Maryland, Wisconsin, and Virginia are overrated. Duke, Kentucky, or Arizona would beat them. Luckily for them they got placed in the easiest region for yet another year. It pays to have Hollis on the selection committee.

by **kingstonlake** Sun 22 Mar 2015 - 18:16

Some sanity among the idiots

No matter how much we dislike the guy it sounds idiotic to argue his greatness. His team was dialed in from the start of the game and executed his game plan perfectly. If Thrice didn't take a few stupid shots in the last seven minutes this may have been a 15 point win.

So, we got a lucky draw according to them, yet everyone else in the world thinks we were under-seeded as a 7. And our path is now easier because we just beat the #2 seed and ACC champion. We made our own luck.

Boy the draw *really* opened up for MSU. Only have to play the 2, 3, and probably either the 4 or 5 seed to win the region /Sarcasm

So essentially Izzo is the recipient of favorable reffing, seeding, tourny draw and recruiting. :lolz:

Man their is a lot of stupid in those comments. Like 20 Booby Saks having a discussion.

Hahaha wow, Izzo flat out outcoached Beilein both games this year.

We destroyed his zone defense and every time he adjusted we adjusted with the better answer.

I do tip the hat to Beilein though, he is pretty classy and he has definitely developed some talent and found a few diamonds in the rough. But no way is he a better coach than Izzo. No WAY.

When did making the Sweet 16 become a huge achievement? MSU is a very experienced team that was ranked #18 in the preseason. They are pretty much right where they're supposed to be.

When Izzo takes the youngest team in the tournament to the finals, let me know.

OccaM wrote:When Beilein takes a team to the NCAA Tournament 17 years in a row, let me know. Izzo has more Sweet 16s than and the same amount of Elite Eights as Beilein has tourney appearances.

MSU is a premier program but they don't recruit quite at the level of Duke, Kansas or Kentucky year in and out. Izzo is a great coach whether we as fans want to admit it or not.

But yeah he's also a whiny bitch.

Here's a SHOCKER~!!!

I sincerely apologize for the scare guys.
Drake Harris did not tear his hamstring. A poster on rivals who is usually reliable, assumed it was torn but the mods are saying he just tweaked it and could be out for the rest of spring practice.

One of the most pathetic teams ever to make the Elite Eight.

It pays to have an AD on the committee and get into the easiest region every single year.

How do you get a middle of the pack Big 12 team and middle of the pack ACC team in your sweet 16/elite 8. Why are all of the good teams in other regions like Kentucky, Duke, Arizona etc. We all know that if Michigan gets in we'd be placed as the 8 seed next to Kentucky. The media wants Izzo to get back to a final four so much that he's in the nobodies region.

No bowl game. No Hoops NCAAs. No Hockey NCAAs. OSU wins the NC in football. MSU on their way to a Final Four.

Wow, this Harbaugh guy must be something special because the gods of Michigan sports are extracting a hell of a price.

Louisville will shit the bed on Sunday also. flower Izzo and flower Staee for getting such an easy bracket. Michigan never gets breaks like this.

It's really just dick punches all around these days.

The butthurt induced dumb is strong with this guy:

So does Beilein. The problem is, he develops them so well that the NBA wants them when 2 years earlier, mid-P5 college teams did not even want them.

Izzo on the other hand, has mastered the art of strategically not developing his guys very well.
