Tom Izzo: Ben's done an unbelievable job with the program, they could be the #1 team in the league next season.

Izzo butters up coaches after he beats them. He did it with Bruce Weber. This year he sounded very similar describing Collins and the coach from Nebraska. He likes to keep coaches around that he beats. Lol

No he didn't. Because Tubby & Richard never had a .500 Big Ten team with everyone scheduled to return.

Well Tubby did once...but that's a terrible story I don't want to rehash now.

Richard did once. Well, not everyone because Springs didn't return. But, the team collapsed due to Curry getting hurt in the offseason, Lynch getting suspended, and Coffey getting injured.

So the teams he lost to this year?
 


Typical Izzo like for last how many years after beating Gophers. Told a friend at ten minute mark second half here goes State taking control . After the game Izzo will praise the Gophers and will have beaten them again. Seen this movie many times.
 


Izzo whines to the officials even when he gets the call. Watch him work the official tomorrow when he plays Purdue.

Gets very old. Time for hime to hang it up.

Yah I'm sure Izzo likes CBJ as a person, I feel like everyone does but come on what's he going to say? I'd note that he isn't out here praising Painter and Underwood, hmm I wonder why.

Maybe because he was not interviewed today after playing Purdue or Illinois.
 

2020-21 Men's Basketball Standings - Big Ten Conference

The official 2020-21 Men's Basketball Standings for Big Ten Conference

For the record, Pitino finished his last regular season 6-14, 2nd worst in the Big Ten including:

Lost the one game against Indiana, the 5th worst Big Ten team.

Lost the one game against Penn State, the 4th worst Big Ten team.

Lost the one game against Northwestern, the 3rd worst Big Ten team.

Split with last-place Nebraska.


-----------------------

Tubby Smith was 46-62 (.426) in Big Ten games. No offense to Smith, a really good coach. Minnesota is a hard place to win.


Is Minnesota trapped in repeat mode? I don't know.


-------------------


Minnesota finished this 2023-24 season 9-11 in conference play.

Yeah it doesn't happen often that a NEAR .500 Big Ten team returns everyone.
 






It is so predictable how you clowns all attack your home team.

There are many very good teams that have come up to the Izo buzz second half buzz saw. No one can get a team to over achieve and fast break a team to death like Izo.

So we get chewed up and spit out by another Izo team, who hasn’t? Izo does like to praise opponent teams, but that doesn’t mean the praise is totally baseless.

But admit it, this team has greatly over achieved all of your estimates and has been fun to watch.

I'll I see is Tubby won 31 more BIG games than Johnson, at the current pace it will take Johnson another 7 years to reach that
 




Nothing will top Pat Fitzgerald telling the media what a spectacular job Tim Brewster was doing about 2 weeks before he got fired. But this is close.
 

Izzo advocated for keeping Todd Lickliter to keep his job, too. Should be a kiss of death.
 




Izzo is such a troll, not going to like seeing Payne in green.
