An Insane Stat.

[hatvol96]

Elite Eight Appearances:

Tennessee=1.
Tom Izzo=7.

 

[lidderer]

that's pretty dumb

 

[TNHopeful505]

And 5 of those 7, he's won.

 

[TennTradition]

7-2 in the Regional Semifinals. That's quite the record Mr. Izzo has.

 

[lidderer]

still unanimously dumb, unless we got some weird-ass uncontextual folk up in here

Elite Eight Appearances:

Tennessee=1.
Tom Izzo=7.

If I'm correct, this translates to Izzo having been to the Elite Eight in about half of the seasons that he has been at Michigan St.

And 5 of those 7, he's won.

Wow, 5-2 in the Regional Finals. The man can coach in March.

 

[TNHopeful505]

It's not dumb. It's a stat that says that we're going up against a Coach who is not intimidating by being here, because he's been here multiple times. Stats mean nothing in performance, but experience is a valuable stat. Perhaps one of the only valuable stats.

Why is it dumb? It shows what kind of coach we are about to go up against.

He's been there for 15 seasons, so...yup, you got it. 7 of 15 in the Elite 8. 5 of 15 in the Final Four.

 

[TNHopeful505]

2 of 15 in championship games, and 1 in 15 National Champions.

That is absolutely mind-blowing. The man is clearly one of the top coaches in the country, if not THE top coach.

 

[lidderer]

don't be silly, teams change yearly, if we don't beat izzo i'll hop on the bpv wagon and start questioning pearl too. Izzo of today, sans lucas, aint izzo ipso facto past performance.

let's be sane here.

Hang onto your ass Tom, the Vols are coming.

At least in March/April he is.

I'd call that a homerun hire and not someone to take lightly while preparing to play against him...

 

[Majorvol23]

i don't think anyone would argue that he has had better talent than this year though... regardless, tennessee better play as hard as they did tonight if they want to win.

Mich St, OSU, & Purdue were all 14-4 in conference this year.

 

[Salvare]

Maybe we could ask him to share?

[VagabondVol]

[Majorvol23]
