The reason I am so anti-JTIII is that I have always admired the Georgetown program and believe it should be a national power again. There used to be a Hoya fan from the Lima area on this site. Wish he were here to offer his thoughts.
That'd be crazy. This has to have been as frustrating of a season as he's ever had, though. On paper, he has a team that's as good as anyone out there (not necessarily the phenom young athletes that some have, but a veteran core of really good to great college players), but they've just been decimated by injuries to the point where I think the vibe's gone from "they'll be real good when they're all healthy together" to "they could have been real good if they all could have been healthy together".SportsAndLady;1589693 wrote:Lol, your hatred for JTIII is awesome.
Also, I saw on a few different KU boards that a lot of MSU people believe Tom Izzo will retire at the end of these NCAA's. Said that he's killing himself over getting that very desirable second NCAA title, and that the pressure is wearing down on him (hence his recent freak outs on the sidelines--like in the OSU game). Said that he is normally a very nice and respectable guy to his staff, and that this year he's been very "different"
Obviously, just message board talk..but very interesting to think about this being the last time we see Izzo on the sidelines in college bball.
Saw Izzo the other nite in Columbus watching a recruit. He looked very relaxed, was posing for pics with people. He was also in area a few weeks ago to see same incoming player. I highly doubt if he had made his mind up, that he would be doing all these extra trips for a kid that is already signed with MSU.SportsAndLady;1589693 wrote:Lol, your hatred for JTIII is awesome.

I'm just relaying the info, not trying to say he is retiring.Heretic;1589730 wrote:That'd be crazy. This has to have been as frustrating of a season as he's ever had, though.

But just because he snaps some pictures with recruits in Columbus and "looked happy" doesn't mean he's not thinking of leaving msu.

This is one of his most talented teams. And they have been very inconsistant as well as very injury prone. 15 different starting lineups this year. ANY coach would be very frustrated with all of that.

I mean, at what juncture is "Dad coached team" not convincing enough an argument to justify keeping Little John around as CEO of one of college basketball's most historically great programs? Since making a run to the Final Four in 2007, Georgetown has not advanced beyond the second round of the NCAA tournament.SportsAndLady;1589693 wrote:Lol, your hatred for JTIII is awesome.
That would certainly make for an interesting off-season and set the coaching carousel in full motion. After watching this season unfold, I could definitely buy this as a possibility. This year has to rank right up there as one of Izzo's most disappointing ever in relation to expectations. This MSU team just never got better or really built upon last year's Sweet 16 run, despite basically everyone returning. That coupled with some big recruiting misses (e.g. Jabari Parker) and Izzo is left to contemplate if he'll ever get the Spartans back to the pinnacle of the sport.SportsAndLady wrote:Also, I saw on a few different KU boards that a lot of MSU people believe Tom Izzo will retire at the end of these NCAA's.

Good news for Wisconsin and Syracuse/Duke. Who gets it if those teams falter early and don't reach their conference title games? A Big XII Tournament champion Kansas? An AAC champion Cincinnati or Louisville?Heretic;1589771 wrote:So far, 'Nova is not looking like they want to get that final #1 seed. Losing 28-15 in the first half to Seton Hall.
FIFY. Don't give in to the NCAA calling the first round the "Second Round". Tuesday and Wednesday are play-in games, not the First Round.reclegend22;1589651 wrote:NCAA Second Round

Haha, believe me, I have never and will never give in to that fake second round bullshit. It was a typo as I was typing fast while looking at his Wikipedia page lol.Terry_Tate;1589805 wrote:FIFY.

Precisely. The games on Tuesday and Wednesday can be called the FIRST FOUR or the PLAY-IN GAMES. Or if you want to use the terminology used in high school wrestling when there are more competitors than can naturally fit into a bracket, call them the RAT-TAIL games.Terry_Tate;1589805 wrote:FIFY.

Hmm, lets see...believe/relay was some dork on a message board is saying...or see someone in person, showing up in another state for an already signed player, enjoying himself with the crowd.
