This Day in NCAA Tournament History (3/21)

I have a confession to make. I have a total man crush on Tom Izzo. The man knows how to teach rebounding and playing hard defense. Maybe that's why he's been to 6 Final Fours with teams that were loaded with talent and teams that were not. What is amazing is that he's done it with #1 seeded teams and teams that weren't ranked.

In 2010, Korie Lucious of #5 seed Michigan State nails a three pointer propelling Michigan to the Sweet Sixteen. The Spartans eventually lost to super Cinderella Butler in the Final Four.
