We’re not sure why it came up, but after Michigan State’s win at Duke, Tom Izzo said this:
“We came down here to win a game. I think I’ve done a poor job over the years. I either get too hyped for the game or give them too much credit. I thought we were a good team that could beat them. I thought they had a good team, but I thought our defense and our depth — and it turned out that way.”
Well first of all, who said this should get an asterisk? Because the Crazies weren't there (presumably)?
