RE: #4 and #5 go down in a week of top 25 upsets for Michigan State!

Yeah, I hate both of those squads until the post-season. Then I'll sorta root for them. Like I hate Ohio State football but I'd still rather see them take down the SEC. And I don't think the BigTen has won a national championship in basketball since your squard did it (with a MN kid at the helm, by the way) back in 2000 or whatever. Izzo is a great coach. Just a weird year for lots of the blue bloods. Duke, NC, Kansas, Kentucky. I think the pandemic really affected their national recruiting. More kids stayed close to home so they missed on their usual top 20's. Of course, that didn't stop ANOTHER MN kid from going to Gonzaga (Suggs) and becoming a major cog there. The two Jones brothers from MN led Duke to National titles. Gets a little old watching kids I actually ref (I ref high school basketball in MN) go win national titles at other schools. Oh well. If I were those kids and had those opportunities, it would be hard to say no.
