Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan0307, post: 1732630, member: 1743"] Ahh the myth of Izzo being this unworldly great coach compared to others drives me nuts. This year was the 5th time since 2002 that Izzo was knocked out in Round 1. In that same time period Syracuse was knocked out in round one twice. Yes, we were banned once and made two NIT's in that time frame, while MSU went to the NIT zero times, but when we get in we have made runs. Since 2002 MSU has made 4 final fours with zero championships. Syracuse made 3 with 1 championship. We have 25 tournament wins. MSU has 30. Izzo's a good coach, but I wouldn't say he's so much better than everyone else. If he was some magician in March he wouldn't get beat so much in round one. He get's upset just as much, if not more than anyone. However, he gets the benefit of doubt because he started his career on fire and made the final four 3 times in his first 6 years on the job.
