The college basketball season is nearly upon us and you know what that means: preseason predictions! CBS Sports just released their preseason prediction article and they have tagged Tom Izzo as their preseason Coach of the Year favorite. Izzo is heading into the season with hefty expectations and a loaded roster.
Here is an excerpt from their story, you can read the full piece here:
“Izzo will have so much more than Winston. Xavier Tillman, Josh Langford and Aaron Henry are all top-100 players in the sport. Sparty will rely on experience much more than freshman NBA talent. It’s how Izzo prefers it — always.
It will be fascinating to see how Michigan State handles all this pressure. Izzo is known for scheduling tough out of conference. He prefers it to being forced to play 20 league games, but that’s the new reality. Nevertheless, Izzo loaded up again, opening up against Kentucky in the Champions Classic, then playing at Seton Hall, going to Maui for that always-challenging tournament, then returning home to host Duke.”
