The 2020-2021 men’s basketball season might be over, but now is a good time to reflect on the results of the NCAA Tournament, both this year, and historically. In my previous analysis, I showed how Michigan State University head coach Tom Izzo dominates all other coaches when it comes to NCAA Tournament performance relative to expectation.
However, being the best relative to expectation is just another phrase for overachieving. On some level, it’s a moral victory. What is more important is actual victories, and fortunately, Coach Izzo has plenty of those as well. In today’s contribution, we will see that Izzo is still one of the best coaches in history in the month of March.
