INDIANAPOLIS – And now for Tom Izzo’s best crack at a national championship since he won his first.
That was in 2000, and Izzo has had good ones since then. The next season featured what might have been his most talented team, and it got to the Final Four before getting drubbed by Arizona.
The 2005 run to the Final Four might have gone longer if not for a knee injury to Alan Anderson.
