Shots of Izzo tonight...

Does anyone else think that the new rules have hampered MSU's grab and push defense more than other teams?

I'm going to assume that is why Izzo has been bitching about the "freedom of movement" enforcement. That directly affects the way his team has muscled their way to victories in the past.
 
Officiating in the B1G has been calling a lot more of the hand checking, which MSU has always used to bully other teams. It is impacting their defense a lot. They also have much less talented guards (calling Valentine a 3) than they have had in a long time. Mike owns Tum Tum and Sapp knows how to handle his old buddy Forbes. I think it is good that Iowa got to play MSU early, because Izzo almost always gets his team on a roll late in the season. I don't think MSU's guards are good enough for them to be more than a top 20 team, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Izzo make some changes to his line up. I have never seen a MSU team play worse defense than what they played against Iowa, but the Hawks had a lot to do with that. God I love to watch Izzo lose.

The shots of Izzo tonight were classic. He wanted to run away and find a corner to hide in. I like Izzo, the guy isn't afraid to call out his team/players if they aren't giving effort.

And Coach Lollipop Guild isn't afraid to publicly wish Coach Dicklicker would've stuck around. He's such a genuine mini-mensch.
