"Today was an ambush" The Tom Izzo postgame

Subtle digs at cmac, murray, and Nunge. Nevermind the fact his team effing sucks.
Just can’t give credit to a team that is better. Whimpering little man.
haven’t listened to izzo in ages but his personality and appearance seems to have changed a lot over the years. in this clip, i had to look carefully to confirm it wasn’t dantonio
Ambushed by a ranked team, who was favored, and just beat you two weeks ago?
Another name for that is poor coaching.

Does anyone besides the talking heads respect this guy? What a whinny turd
Who knew the #3 offensive efficiency team in the country could put up points? Apparently Tommy didn't see that coming.
I didn’t listen to all of it but I’d say this:
1) he should give Iowa more credit to start off.
2) it is a matter of fact what the season shooting percentages are and I think all of us were also surprised to see Connor, Murray, and Nunge going off from outside
had he given the Hawks credit first, it would be better optics you then say “hey we game planned for Garza and didn’t imagine these other dudes would go off from3... but if happens and when a team like Iowa is hitting those shots there’s not many teams that can keep up, so again credit to them.”

Didn’t sound so bad to me. He didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. He was embarrassed. Leave it at that and move on.
Izzo thouget Iowa screwed Lickliter. He’s still an ass.
Izzo is quickly become one of those coaches who stayed too long. Time for him to consider retirement.
Except for excessive bitching/crying i’ve always liked him.
I remember seeing an interview with him once talking recruiting and him saying he was embarrassed by some of it. Said basically he once was talking up a sixth grader at his camp.
Bo promised Izzo that Luka would have 2 fouls within the first 90 seconds
Pretty sure last week we were all agreeing w his takes on Connor. He’s still an ass but I thought in the end he was complimentary of Iowa and said to give them credit . That being said I can’t recall seeing such a poor shooting State team...they had some good looks they just weren’t close
Is he losing his memory? Can’t pronounce Nunge correctly, a guy that was a finalist for Mr. Basketball in Indiana. Can’t pronounce Wieskamp correctly even though he was Mr. Basketball in Iowa. Both are guys he should have at least given some due diligence to in recruiting. Can’t remember the name of Carver-Hawkeye Arena even though he’s been there probably two dozen times.
MSU played a sick player, and held him out the 2nd half. Gee f'n thanks Izzo.
If I didn’t think he’d like it, I’d say I hope that little rat face man chokes on a dick. What douche calling out Murray, nunge, and cmac like that.
Hes starting to have a Bob Knight in the 90s feel to him at this point.
Izzo had similar reaction after Iowa beat them bad a few years back with Clemmons/Gesell going off. Izzo ended up being correct, because those guys faded later in the season.
Izzo mentioned Cmac, Nunge, Murray are all around 30% 3pt shooters and that is true. Those guys are capable of shooting better than their season numbers...hopefully it becomes a trend.
Most funny thing was calling Weezy "West-camp"

He won the conference last year. That’s a ridiculous comment.
Which game was that? Gesell had 25 one of the games but Clemmons only had 2 that game. The other game Gesell had 13 and Clemmons 8. Also, big difference in MSU teams from that year (29-6) and this year.
If we hadn't fugged around with weave handoff on the perimeter most of the 2nd half, could have been a 50 point win. Fugg Izzo.
Exactly. We better enjoy this while we can. The last 20 some years says this season is a blip and nothing more. MSU does have some athletes but not playing well together consistently, and I think it all starts with there being unsettled at the point guard. As Iowa fans we should understand that.
Don't like Izzo.
Didn't see anything wrong with the PC.

It's the worst MSU team since perhaps 1997. You are right, I wouldn't expect it to become a regular thing. They have no point guard and their big men are either bad or inexperienced, or both. I don't know what they have coming in next year, but if history says anything they are probably addressing those deficiencies.
I watched Izzo's comments and I'll just disagree a bit. Izzo hasn't won as much as he has by being a good loser. If Nunge, CMac and Murray shoot like that every game, Iowa would be better than 9-5 in the league. By the same token, these guys have scholarships and if they are making the shots you have to go guard them. Brandon Johnson from Minnesota has made 13 3-pointers all year, and he made 8 of those against Iowa in the game Iowa lost in OT at the Barn. Outside of the Iowa game, Johnson has made 5-30 3's all year. Shame on Iowa for not getting on him once he got hot, but going in he was not someone they needed to pay attention to.
CMac made 25% of his season total to date of 3's against MSU. He's 12-42 in other games from 3. Nunge didn't really hurt MSU from deep, he made only 1. But he's scored in double figures 6 times this year, so it's not like he's incapable. Him having a big game is due to him playing well and MSU's big men sucking rocks.
Murray is actually shooting 36% from 3 point range, so that's on them for not respecting him. I just don't get that worked up by opposing coaches not being nice after the game. Izzo is embarrassed by his team's performance, he should be. His game plan blew up in his face. The more mature thing to do would be to just say "we concentrated a lot on Garza and their other players made a ton of shots. Credit to them. They kicked our butts." And move on.
Really not trying to sound like a Richard here but he’s also one of those coaches that has done so much for a program they can decide on their own when they’re done. Not saying you aren’t right but I think he can still recruit to the “name”, but they’ll get better again.....sadly
It’s fair to point out that Iowa shot the ball very, very well in this game. It would have also been fair for Fran to point out that MSU shot the ball wayyyy better than they normally do in the game in Iowa City, or that might have been a 30 point win as well. Funny, I don’t remember Fran doing so!
One scumbag deserves a tool. Least Penn state accepted the problem and tried to get better..
30% 3 point shooters left wide open become 50% 3 point shooters. We’ve witnessed this with Iowa defense for years.
Worst ever loss under Izzo...1996 @Iowa
Worst ever home loss under Izzo...2021 vs. Iowa
😁

Works for me. Lets just do it more often!
I’m guessing the total season sweeps we have of MSU makes yesterday even more special as well.
Tom Izzo is not recruiting any stud All-American players
these days. The quality of his team is down and he knows
it. As Frank Sinatra would sing: "The End is near, I see the
Final Curtain, I did it My Way"

You‘re right. Looks like Michigan is picking up all the talent. His last couple classes are lackluster, but he has a 5 star and two 4 stars coming in next year.
