re: Importance Of Free Throw Attempts In Final Four

I thought the Duke game really demonstrated an issue I have been saying for a while about Izzo ball. His team plays such gritty defense, but at some point in the tournament, a game gets called tight and his team is screwed. Duke was going to win that game, anyway, but there were points that MSU got some momentum that was ruined by ticky tack calls. An MSU board has been harping on a couple of the Dawson back-to-back fouls.

"I got to do a better job of coaching," Izzo said. "It's the way it's going to be called. I got to do a better job of recruiting because I'm just going to get guys that can drive. That's the way the game has changed."
