There are people that will say “Izzo always wins in March so it doesn’t matter”. To me it does matter. I understand wanting to measure yourself against the best in the nation. There just has to be a point that you actually start winning some of these early season games. There are some that want to be there in March. I want to be there and win all year. I want to set a tone of dominance. I want my team to feel they can’t be beat. Michigan State doesn’t have that confidence to be a dominant team. They’re good, but they’re not as good as they can be. I don’t want State to win just because I hate Duke, I want them to tell the rest of America that they are a force to be reckoned with.
