You hit the nail on the head, Mike! The gameplan was SO BAD in the second half and Izzo was 100% the blame in this last game.

Cathartic and spot on. Every bit. Loved his appeal to Izzo: "I love you, don't make me feel this way!"

This is exactly what I needed to hear.

THANKS FOR THIS, MIKE....SPEAK THE TRUTH

Great work Mike. Always look forward to your monologue. A self evaluation for Izzo is needed.

That was the greatest sports rant I've ever heard. Thank you.

Mike has the best rants in the biz. You can feel his emotion

"You aint breaking me" 😂😂😂😂

All the Michigan fans will say he spent to much time on Msu lol. As a Michigan I love Mike he tells it like it is whether it's Michigan or msu

Mike was spot on with this take. I'm not sure I've ever seen a superior team so completely play into an inferior opponent's hands. Boehim must've been creaming his pants at the way State was handling that zone. 37 3-point attempts (and only 8 makes)? That's a video game stat, like when you let your little brother play NBA 2K against you for the first time (and, no, that's not a Mike Hart reference). Izzo's refusal to employ dribble penetration to break down Syracuse's D costed him an opportunity with the most talented roster he'll ever assemble. And while the MTSU loss may have been more shocking, I can look back and at least accept that it was just one of those games where an opponent got hot and never cooled off. Spartans had shot 56% and still ended up losing, so sometimes you just gotta tip your cap to your opponent, I guess. But I'm not sure I'll ever get over the abomination I witnessed yesterday. Having nearly every built-in advantage possible, from home court to even favorable officiating I'd argue, State couldn't put together a single 5 minute stretch of quality basketball. 26% FG shooting, more turnovers (14) than assists (11), and only 16 FT attempts? If not for the hustle on the boards, State might've lost this game by 20. And while I understand that players play and coaches coach, Izzo had his old-timer hands all over this one. Passive offensive play call, refusal to employ outside-of-the-box offensive schemes, stubborn substitution patterns, etc. Just a total catastrophe. Tom better think long and hard this offseason about this one, because I'm beginning to lose track of all the tournament games he's been out-coached in over the past decade.

Truth -- Mike says what we all want to!

Thank you Mike! I sincerely hope that the majority of Spartan fans hear what you are saying.

I remember this, this was the worst coaching job by Izzo, right behind '16 March Madness.

The thing about Tom Izzo teams when he can't bully you all his teams lose his offense is garbage

Thanks for not being afraid to tell the cold hard truth, Mike. Not easy to listen to as a Spartan fan, but sometimes the truth hurts. This old crusty offense that they've been running since Shannon Brown played ISN'T CUTTING IT ANYMORE. You have to wonder what Jon Beilein could've done with this team. I don't even think Tom is overrated, I think he's outdated and apparently doesn't have the capability​ to adapt to this modern brand of Basketball.

MrHershey & The Kisses I’m sorry, but Izzo has definitely become overrated in my book. How many talented teams has he recruited only to waste by the time March roles around? Izzo hasn’t won the big one in nearly two decades, and just look at the number of elite players he’s had. Draymond, Gary Harris, Valentine, Shannon Brown, and so on had/have all gone on to carve out solid NBA careers. Yet Izzo didn’t win jack with any of them. How many of Beilein’s players have transferred well to the pro-level? Trey Burke? Jordan Morgan? Nik Stauskus? Mitch McGary? All of ‘em duds. Only one of late I can think of that’s carving out a descent pro career is Caris Levert. Izzo is akin to an old school manager in baseball (a la Jim Leyland in his final years with the Tigers) who’s too stubborn to change his strategies regardless of how long it’s been failing. Maybe I’m just a frustrated Spartan fan, but I’ve grown sick and tired of Izzo employing his boring ass offensive schemes only to win big in the regular season but crushed when it counts most.

This was a great rant because Valenti was spot on!!!

This has a happy ending. Izzo followed this up with this greatest season since 2000

Mike nailed it. 100%

Great analysis. I completely agree... I am concerned about Izzo after this performance. These teams have been underperforming and I don’t think it is because of the players.

The Rant 2.0

Sick lid Mike

As a Spartan, Mike is absolutely right. It's not close, either.

Truth

Happy two year anniversary!

Izzzy just got a little fizzy then got dizzzzzy in the end! With the talent they should of went unbeaten!

Proof positive why I love Mike. He operates on a very simple rule: play well/do well, he gives props. Play poorly/do poorly, he will tear you a new one, even if it's his alma mater (let's face it: some of Mike's best stuff has been against MSU). MSU was atrocious against Syracuse and it seemed that everything they could do wrong, they did. I waited all morning on Monday for 2pm just for this. Way to go, Mikey V.

They played with zero aggression all season. You could almost feel this coming since the Ohio state loss.

Oh, Captain, my Captain...

God this was glorious, get'em Mike!! As an MSU fan I am ready to see Izzo walk off into the sunset now...the game has passed him bye. Also, unrelated, does any one hear Andrew Dice Clay in Mike lol?

Ken Horvath Well if it wasn't for our kicker, punter Michigan that is we would be 2 & 1 against State in the last 3 years and not 1 & 2,. But I get your point okay. But if you go back and look at Michigan basketball vs State, Michigan has had better teams. They just weren't able to close the deal but once. The Ricky Green Phil Hubbert team. The Glenn Rice team with the six NBA picks, Fab Five. Cassie Russell team back in the day. And Cross over Jr Tim Hardaway Jr with Little 🐕 dog and the College player of the year. State, Magic's team, the Cleve's team that won't it all. Steve Smith's team didn't do anything. So there you have it on basketball.

I’m still pissed about this game

Was like watching a chess match between the all world young prospect that had an over simplified game plan of "just win in 3 moves" with no back-up plan vs. the crotchety old seasoned vet that had a hidden smirk all the way to check mate

Dam.... Valenti went in on msu. Classic.

Pucker pucker pucker

Mikey V 😂😂😂

Used to be such a great coach. Ill give him this upcoming season to make something work but if it doesnt let Tum Tum come in and take his place lol

I don't know if this was Izzos last good chance at a National Championship, but I've heard Mike say that at least 3 times before.

This made me feel better after the disappointment of the Cincinnati teams.

Funny but true

Agree with you regarding (1) Izzo regularly getting outcoached by top tier coaches and (2) being absolutely terrible in press conferences. One additional thing you didn't touch on is Izzo's players do not show a trend of becoming better basketball players under his coaching. I wouldn't be surprised if recruiting wasn't as good moving forward. "Come to MSU and you'll leave at the same level you came in at". He has been to a bunch of Final Fours and has won the B1G several times ... so it could be worse.

As a Michigan fan this is hilarious.....

Agree with some points, but disagree with the criticism of the game plan. I think Jackson was the perfect choice to play in the middle against the zone. He just didn't play well, but he should have played more. And, Ward should have played more.

Beilien is the best coach in the big ten

Chokers

In the last, what, 6 years, Beilein has made more NCAA finals than Izzo (2-0? I think, the hell?).

Well Tom Izzo finally beat Coach K. Wonder what Valenti will say now.

It doesn’t matter who MSU plays. Rutgers proved that in the conf part of the season. I’m East Lansing Rutgers took MSU to overtime. It’s real simple. Msu has some really big star players. But if you can’t get those players to play as a team in what is a team sport they will never be successful. Michigan on the other hand is probably playing the BEST as far as TEAM ball goes. Syracuse played better team ball. So yeah you should probably at least give the Cuse some credit. Jim Beheim is not an idiot. He’s been doing this a lot longer than Izzo. So my final statement is that Izzo is burned out. He is. And it would probably help MSU to realize that because sounds like Izzo will not be done anytime soon according to what he said in the post game. He says “I’m not going anywhere.” Maybe stubborn or maybe he refuses to accept his prime time is over?

You have a radio show for your commentary, but sitting and shouting makes this unlistenable for a while. I do however appreciate that someone is saying what needs to be said!

It's so funny how Michigan State fan give you their Basketball history for the past 25 to 35 year's, and think that they know what their program is all about. I know more about Michigan State then their fans, most of them. I'm a Michigan man, and I'll tell you. If I go really listing players and times when Michigan has had better teams then State, Michigan State fans would have to agree.

It looks bad now. Lol

If you're gonna put your stars on the bench in that kinda crunch, there had better have been a body language issues, or the kid's attitude or something! And if so, you should TELL US! Not just remind us how much you make! Seems pretty typical seeing as how MSU fan is always quick to remind us that "Izzo is a HOF head coach!" every time they get knocked out of the tourney! FINAL FOURS ARE NOT RINGS!!!

wh.....why are you yelling?

Disagree with a lot of his stuff but he was dead on here

Bruh calm down it’s just basketball
