Interesting when Izzo was asked about the loss and his players , he said I don’t know why my 3 seniors and juniors played like they did, but I don’t care . I will play my freshman.
Last night , Hyatt ,and Derek played probably the worst games they could possibly play. Gavin looked like a deer in the highlights and Jamichael missed a ton of shots and did not realize he was not in HS and tried to take it to a bigger defender and got swatted . Pike did not throw any of them under the bus like Izzo did because Pike would never do that. He also could have said I cannot believe our players missed about 10 layups , most of them with no one around defending them , but he didn’t and he didn’t name names.
Just pointing out the difference with 2 really good head coaches handling a loss on opening night.
