Great Big 10-SEC matchup! Excluding kentucky from this argument, this set the stage for the years to come for the SEC. It is and will always be a Football Conference, but this brought new light and almost a new game style that was brought to College Basketball. Donovan did a great job with this team. One thing I would like everyone to look up is how good Udonis Haslem did in this game. He played a major role in this transition for the SEC also.

@sptrfn Wisconsin sucked. The only other team that should have made that title game was North Carolina

@BeyondNeptune Jason Richardson and Morris Peterson never went very far in the pros? what world do you live in?

@BeyondNeptune Tom Izzo IS Michigan State basketball.

[BeyondNeptune]

that team never really went very far in the pros. It's all coaching. Izzo won that game , not the niggers throwing the ball around.

I hated Michigan State. Syracuse should have beaten them that year. They were up by 19 on them in the second half of their third round game and blew it. Syracuse could have made the Final Four that year, and maybe the title game because Wisconsin wasn't that great. They probably would have beaten Florida that year.
