Tom Izzo is one of the best coaches of all-time and finds ways to extract every last ounce of talent from his players and pulls off upsets few people outside of East Lansing thought were possible. The Spartans edged the No. 10 Georgia Bulldogs in their first game to set the stage for their showdown with the No. 2 Virginia Cavaliers in the third round where they took them down and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.
From there, Izzo led his team to wins over No. 3 Oklahoma and an overtime thriller against Rick Pitino’s No. 4 Louisville team.
Duke is no stranger to the Final Four with Mike Krzyzewski who makes his 12th career appearance in the Final Four to tie the legendary UCLA head coach, John Wooden for the most.
The Blue Devils breezed through their first two games against Robert Morris and San Diego State with a 24-point average margin of victory. Utah gave them a challenge in the Sweet Sixteen in a six-point win before beating No. 2 Gonzaga in the Elite Eight by 14 to set up Saturday night’s game.
Who do you think has the edge in tonight’s game? Can Michigan State slow down Okafor who was a finalist for the Wooden and Naismith Awards? How about Justice Winslow who has come alive in the Tournament? Does Izzo have enough magic left to lead his team to a stunning upset?
