I hope you all are watching this MSU/UConn game. It's been a great game so far. I can only hope the Nova/UNC game is just as good.

Izzo is a goddamned magician. Best coach in America.

I'm starting to think that to. This has been a clinic. The thing I LOVE about MSU is that their entire roster is regional. Most of the kids are from Michigan. We keep asking why Sean would leave Xavier this year. Well, why on Earth would Izzo ever leave MSU? He must be a demi-god for all MSU fans. I mean, no four year player for him has never been to the final four. That's just an amazing stat to me.

Because I have no life I was just looking at Tom Izzo's wiki page and this is a quote he apparently said, "We’ll play anybody, anyplace, anytime. It doesn’t matter, morning, noon or night, and it doesn’t matter who it is.”

I would LOVE to play Michigan State at some point. That would be a great game for our players.

Izzo actually holds true to this, they played @ IPFW this year after signing what I believe may have a been a home and home with the Mastadons.

I am LOVING these intros to each team before they announce the starting lineups. I can already see it next year...."We are, Xavier!"

Too bad he's completely full of shyt. I was at Zip's once and Skip mentioned getting a return call from Izzo laughing and saying no way he was coming into Cintas.

Skip didn't fault him, but you need to get over your Izzo man love.

Add to that, Freddy, that during either one of Sean Miller's radio shows this year, or maybe it was a Lance interview with Bobo, (I can't remember which) there was a comment as to Michigan State being willing to play anyone,anytime and why didn't Xavier schedule the Spartans. The answer was "well, they aren't willing to play everyone. We've tried."

So the attempts have been more recent than Skip's tenure.
