Tom Izzo Excuse Prediction Thread

Submitted by SF Wolverine on

What will Tiny Tom blame this on?  My early candidates:

1.  We really thought we would get to play in the middle of the night like Michigan got to.

2.  No way to preduct Syrancuse would come with an entirely new defensive set.

3.  It's incredibly hard and unfair to have to play away from Breslin.

Not really fair to our kids that we had to play so far from home - it was practically a home game for Jim and that's pretty clear when you look at the FT disparity.  Our kids played great, they just got lucky.  Normally Cassius hits that 50-footer, just rimmed out.  We're still the best team in the country.  We only lost to 4 teams all year."

"We had a lot of distractions all year from the ESPN witch-in, and also, the healing process wasn't over yet so I thought it was really unfair to our players."

Michigan epic win. Michigna gets what looks like a pretty good qb commit. OSU loses. Sparty gets humiliated  in Detroit. Dare I call it a perfect sports weekend?

Doesn't really matter what the excuses are because this was supposed to be the year and they are gone in the round of 32. LOL. Between this and last night, my upcoming week is off to a VERY good start!!

It was a long bus ride from East Lansing and none of the guys were able to get much sleep because of all the homework they had to do to prepare for classes tomorrow.  Also, the crowd was obviously all Wolverine fans who had dressed up in green just to taunt us.

Just want to embed this one more time for posterity.

Somehow I doubt it's "I gave 25 minutes to a guy who averages 7 and .6 PPG instead of playing my lottery pick."

Seriously, Izzo did a terrible job with this team.

what day in the next week or so will he answer all the other questions that he said should wait so they could focus on basketball. He will stare blankly. Then say, “ Any more basketball questions.”

He'll say it was a lot of fouls, just rimmed some shots out, and then cry about the victims not having his team to fight for them again. Possibly also make another shot at ESPN.

"It wasn't easy to be sent to Detroit, with all the distractions.  It would have been nice to be placed somewhere like, maybe Wichita, but those are the breaks of the game.  Our freshmen just weren't ready for all the distractions when going up against a Syracuse team full of seniors."

Miles Bridges, 2-2 NCAA Tournament Record, 0 sweet 16s. 1-3 vs UofM. He did win a Big Ten regular season championship. 0 Big Ten POY, 0 National POY. Honestly a bit underwhelming compared to what they thought he would do to this point.

All that talent and (compared to expectations) nothing to show for it.

Michigan has accomplished far more in the last two years with a fraction of the raw talent that MSU has. Enjoy the tournament from the couch, Sparty. That is if you’ve got any couches left after tonight.
