Izzo Excuses Thread: 2017 Edition
Who's living in the past now?
Izzo: "U-M's seniors have lost 4-5 times to us, and they played with incredible passion that we didn't match"
— Minh Doan (@_minhdoan) February 8, 2017
Izzo says he's not making excuses ... but, 'that was seniors against freshmen.'
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 8, 2017
Irvin, the other senior, had a whopping 3 points. Bzzzt.
Izzo says his freshmen (Winston, Ward, Langford) didn't understand the seriousness of the game
— Minh Doan (@_minhdoan) February 8, 2017
Ward is from Columbus and Winston is from Detroit.
Izzo says MSU had a great week of practice, didn't show up on court.

they only played once last year and Walton was hurt for both games in 2015 (with three games in 2014 that Michigan went 2-1).
Walton is 3-3, Irvin was 3-5.

And you used the Will Gholston version of Tom

You could probably ease up a little bit, huh?
February 8th, 2017 at 10:14 AM ^
come on..that;s a bit much. You know women can be sensitive about their weight. You should never call a woman fat.

"that was seniors vs. freshman". We start two seniors, one didn't even play well, and they start one. We had a bunch of guys beat them down that will be back next year: Wagner, Robinson, MAAR, DJ, heck even X played great!!
February 8th, 2017 at 6:11 AM ^
Why else would even his best players stay there 5 years? Only coach who can turn a 1 and done to a 5 and hoping to get there while lower ranked Beilein guys head to the NBA.
February 8th, 2017 at 2:17 PM ^
yes, but ours isn't a senior laden team was my point. It wasn't seniors v. freshmen as he said.
February 8th, 2017 at 9:43 AM ^
Plus, Izzo has changed his recruiting strategy to get more one-and-done type guys. He's going to have a lot of young teams going forward.
February 8th, 2017 at 6:34 PM ^
A bunch of one and done guys he doesnt know how to coach who he then buries on the bench behind scrubs in the hopes he can crush their NBA aspirations enough for them to stick around longer.
February 7th, 2017 at 11:30 PM ^
5 star weird guys
February 7th, 2017 at 11:30 PM ^
I guess michigan should feel lucky it wasn't 3-9 times.
February 8th, 2017 at 1:57 AM ^
Never. Gets. Old.

Who is to say his freshmen won't bolt after this year? Losing seems to be contagious at Staee.

I think. Gotta think they'll drop to 9 or 10 seed. But yeah, I'm not sure how the bracketologists are putting them so high. They have a 47 RPI (before tonight) and a worse kenpom. At least Ole Miss had good fancy stats.
No idea how they could be considered a top 32 team. For a minute I thought maybe they could be discounting some losses from when Bridges was out, but they went 6-1 without him including their best win at Minnesota!
They've gone 4-5 since he returned. One could reasonably argue they were just as good (bad) without him. No idea how they aren't an 11ish seed right now, at best.
February 8th, 2017 at 1:21 AM ^
They're getting the benefit of the doubt because of their impressive tournament run last year.

I dont think anyone had more of their self-worth attached to that stupid blocked punt than she did. Crazy how one fluke play can change the mindset of an entire fanbase.
