    I'm proud to say that i was at this game. It was abolutely unbelievable. When Summers threw down that dunk over Robinson, the whole place just erupted. I'll never forget that game. Makes me proud to be a State fan.

      That man had some innate athleticism just the fact that found a way in, lol. Probably one of the biggest/best dunks in NCAA tourney history.
      The only one that probably is the most memorable is the FGCU lob against georgetown, but still, summer’s dunk took way more athleticism and skill to pull off.

    Tom Izzo is so freakin' classy. If you watch at 8:14, most coaches probably would have already started walking over to shake Jim Calhoun's hand, but Izzo is chasing Summers down the floor from the sideline making sure that he doesn't showboat or score, a traditionally unsportsmanlike move in that type of situation. Such an awesome coach.

      Every team except Michigan State has played in 3 or more NC Games.
      Championships wise I say UCONN, North Carolina, and Duke are the best but North Carolina and UCONN(when they are in the Tournament) are the consistent. Kansas, Kentucky, and Michigan State have alot of early round exits. Duke has only made it to 6 Elite 8s which is sad.

    @sjm277545 IF uconn won this game, but they didnt so were clearly the better team. if msu lost i wouldnt feel bad and go look at highlights on youtube, then talk shit. You can say if all you want but you didnt win so get over it

    Tom Izzo isn't the greatest coach in basketball

      ***** Greg Popovich is still coaching

    • @goderking1
      @goderking1 Před 10 lety

      And in 2009 Phil Jackson was still coaching so to say that Tom Izzo is the greatest coach is over stepping a line when he didn't win a national championship since 2000
