Round of 32-Saturday

And not saying I love Izzo's style, but his teams are never limited to guard scoring, or wing scoring, or low post scoring. They always seem to have options in all phases of the game.

Look at all the praise for him and his March exploits after their win today.

I'll expound much more on number two. His success and subsequent emulation from competitors has made college basketball frequently unwatchable. All of the clutching and grabbing on defense and fouling that gets uncalled is the hallmark of the Izzo defense. The refs do not have the stomach to call fouls on every possession, so only the most blatant fouls are called. When college basketball made a well intentioned if not half-hearted attempt to clean up the game by calling fouls on all the bumping and grabbing, Izzo was leading the protests against the refs actually following the rulebook.

1) I'm still not sure what you mean by one and done tournaments. Do you mean that Izzo has a history of winning the first game and doesn't reach the Sweet 16?

2) Seems like a matter of preference. Many coaches I know admire the way that Izzo's teams play. His all-access practice is one of the most popular DVD's. Teaching kids how to work hard and make the most out of the talent you are given seems like a good message to me.

1) Pretty sure he means single elimination tournaments.

Aaaah gotcha. Thanks.

[MUMac]

Aaaah gotcha. Thanks.

Yeah, it took me a couple of looks to get the meaning.

Yeah, one and done is obviously colloquial for single elimination, which is rather stodgy sounding...

My mind is fried. I can't remember anything right now. I think I've watched too much TV. It's that time of year...

[Markedman]

I know the committee has a tough job but watching this Dayton/OU game I can't believe that Dayton is playing basically it's 3rd straight pseudo home game.....2 of them against higher seeds.

[MUBasketball]

C'mon Dayton, pull this out!!! That would leave West Virginia as the lone Big 12 team remaining, and a loss to Maryland would mean zero Big 12 teams in the Sweet 16.

After Wichita routed Kansas I've already sent a tweet to Jon Rothstein in response to his "whole different kind of cattle" in the ACC tweet last night after Nova lost to NC State. I'm hoping to send another with a Dayton win!

I don't get it? He said something positive about the ACC and you are responding after Big 12 losses? What does the Big 12 have to do with the ACC?

Maybe I misunderstood you?

Pretty hard to argue that hat the ACC has been the class conference so far. Pac 12 has been pretty impressive as well.
