It’s hard to speculate on all of this.  That MSU team was pretty fantastic all year though.  29-5.  Maybe his best team in quite some time.  They lost in the B10 Championship game to that really good Purdue team who had Swanigan, Hass, etc.  That probably cost them the #1 seed as UVA was given it.  Fair.  Those two teams were fanastic all year.  Denzel Valentine was special all year and they had all the pieces.  Just ran into a MTSU who played even better than they did.  MSU was like #2 in KenPom AdjO and 25 in AdJD.  Safe to say we would’ve been a big underdog against them and highly unlikely to beat them.

The narrative which is getting tiring and frankly a grasping at straws scenario is that somehow, for a couple of games in March of pulling unusual and outlier upsets on Izzo or Bennett, that the program is fine.  That we’re elite still.  That cannot be further from the truth, IMO.  Michigan St has been a #1 or #2 seed how many times in the past five years or so?  Virginia?  They aren’t beating chumps either.  Syracuse should be comfortably in the tournament every year if we’re being honest.  Those days seem long gone.
