While I'd like to agree with you,the number of Final Four appearances by MSU (and the couple by Wiscy) suggest differently, at least as it relates to MSU in particular. Overall, the physical play in the BT does tend to put other teams in the BT at a disadvantage in the NCAA when you have refs not use to watching that style of basketball. I guess it's a testament to Izzo that he can get his teams to adapt to a different style of basketball for the tournament.
