good call. I have no love for, or interest in, UNI sports whatsoever, and I cried after that game.
So I will edit to the dumbest minute of ball of any team to still win.
Murphy looked like someone put in the big head code on NBA Jam.
Just showed an unflattering clip of Izzo in the tem huddle. Looked like he was yelling at Henry (?) and other players were holding him back
And McQuaid ( who is usually Izzo's whipping boy ) has to restrain Izzo from attacking Henry, but Fran is out of control...
Considering they were on a 10-0 run it must have been pretty bad for Izzo to tear into him like that. Looked like he ripped him going into the huddle and then again later in the huddle.
They talk about how he’s great for treating everyone the same if they mess up, whether it’s your star player or a walkon, but that seemed to be a little much at a time you want your guys to get fired up on their current run.
Izzo is always rumored for NBA jobs. That act wouldn’t cut it on a team where the player’s are mostly multi millionaires.
Some interesting interactions with Winston too. Doesn’t seem like Winston is scared/hesitating to talk back.
No, no, no....
Izzo is passionate and Fran is a lunatic. That’s the narrative.
It’s almost like they’re a different team without B1G refs.
Probably half the distance. Peoria to Des Moines is about 4:00-4:30 hours.
Definitely a few physical plays MSU would get called their way in the B1G, going to Bradley here and keeping them in it.
Tends to happen to them a lot. Too lazy to look but seems like they’ve been bounced early a lot recently, including losing to a 15

No one would believe you if you told them Minnesota had the easiest opening round game/win. Lol
That Middle Tennessee State team was tough as nails. Fun to watch.
Maryland has been behind Bellmont all game. They are shooting only 22.2% from 3, so interesting.
Izzo kinda calling out tourney committee for having to play Minnesota in 2nd round.
Good. I hope the committee is called out regularly, and the number of B1G teams ending up in the sweet 16 is a total nightmare for them. And when looking at the NET, the teams that make it that far are in total reverse order.
Fran and Izzo both have that lunatic level.
However, there is only one who is a complete shitbag when it comes to being a human being and putting integrity over winning. Hint....they don't live in Iowa City.
