Always respected Izzo and the Spartans, but when I be tryna finish watching their games before I have to go somewhere, he always calls those random timeouts with a couple minutes left in the half/game:pachaha:
Which is funny b/c Izzo treats his timeouts like diamonds. There's been so many times (less this year) where another team will go on a huge run and I'm begging him to take a TO to stop the bleeding and he'll wait til a media timeout, meanwhile the other team went on a 16-2 run...

But there are games where other coaches burn their TOs and it bites them in the ass, Maryland called their final TO with 5 minutes left in the second half, and then on their final possession they didn't have one to regroup.

I see Buckeyes are #34 in NET, should be in barring some awful loss in the BTT. Nebraska is a dub (they've been collapsing), and even with an @IU loss, OSU should be good with 14 losses (15 makes it REAL difficult), but will have to win at least 1 game in BTT.

Yep. I noticed that. Izzo rather have his teams fight through a bad stretch and save his timeouts for crunch time.

Sports have changed so much, that I like that we still have Izzo at MSU and them still being a threat in March.

It's been a rough 4 years for MSU hoops, the worst stretch of Izzo's career, we need a deep run.
