About 6:30 PM on Friday night Tom Izzo and his (as of right now) #2 Michigan State Spartans will tip off at the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. For years the regular season in many other conferences hasn’t mattered. That may shock some of you but even in the ACC, teams like Duke and North Carolina celebrate the tournament title with far more veracity than the regular season.
Just ask yourself how many times you have seen a Izzo led team head into the post season like last year (in mid-February some questioned if they would make the tournament) only to garner post season accolades, over regular season glory?
