March Madness kept Tom Izzo sleepless for more than 24 hours before he heard and saw Michigan State made it into a 26th consecutive NCAA Tournament. Izzo says he had one of the most anxious days of his career on Sunday. He sensed that a record-breaking streak might get snapped after the Spartans started No.
March Madness hits different for Tom Izzo at Michigan State, where 26th bid in a row wasn’t a layupMichigan State head coach Tom Izzo reacts during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Purdue in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Conference tournament, Friday, March 15, 2024, in Minneapolis.
The Spartans have had only one opening-round exit over the past seven years, a stretch that includes Izzo’s eighth run to a Final Four in 2019. Even though it seems highly unlikely they could win it all for the second time under Izzo, one of his veterans said the competition might have a reason to be fearful of MSU.
Izzo was worried when a series of upsets in conference tournaments took away some at-large bids, putting one of college basketball’s longest streaks in jeopardy. Hall was one of a handful of post players, potentially providing an inside threat offensively, and the highly touted freshmen were projected to provide an influx of talent.
