Strib's "The Game Plan" on Page 2: Huh?

[SelectionSunday]

The Buzz: A tip of the hat to Tom Izzo, who somehow is in another Final Four this year despite losing his best player from a team "not all that highly regarded to begin with."

Wasn't MSU pretty much in everyone's top 4 at the beginning of the season?

Maybe they meant at the beginning of the tournament?

 

[SelectionSunday]

Good point, though if that's the case they certainly didn't make it very clear.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure MSU was #2 in some preseason polls. If they meant start of the tourney, okay, but the way that's worded, I highly doubt that's the case.

 

[beowulftom]

Not highly regarded...

I think it means whoever wrote that had Kansas coming out of that region for their bracket.

I truly wish MN sports media jobs were electable positions.

We shouldn't quibble about "wording" in the STRIB sports pages. I believe the Senior Editor of the sports page is Sid.

God love him.
