Can’t wait for the season to start, I’m getting anxious.

Didn't Izzo lose to Ollie twice?

They beat us in 2021 in one of the MTEs, though it was hardly a case of them handling us. That was a close game that we just didn't pull out. They did embarrass us in Ollie's last year though, that was the MTE where we got blown out by Arkansas too

Yeah, I looked it up after my comment. Some years are rather forgettable

Didn't Izzo lose to Ollie twice?

Yes: 2012 in Germany (Ollie’s first game as a head coach) and 2014 in NYC (Elite 8 at MSG)

We end up playing MSU in every tournament. It's wild.

UConn and Michigan State are on the same rotation for Maui (think you can only be in it once every 4 years or something like that), so then that cascades down with other tournaments pursued since both programs seek similar top MTEs. It's also partly coincidence.

Looks like Memphis played Bama tough.

Watched the game, Memphis is frenetic on both offense and defense. They play hard, not smart. Pressed a lot, fouled a lot, missed a ton of bad shots.

they are also beefy and crash the boards hard…rebounding will need to be much better than against Rhody
