I'll make a prediction right now. MSU will be ranked in the top 5 preseason, lose a few games out-of-conference and in conference and come into the tournament ranked in the 8-15 range (so not a favorite) and then contend for a final four berth. I don't know if it is overachieving in the tournament or underachieving in the regular season. Either way, Izzo has a pretty good thing going at MSU. The only programs that have been consistently as strong over the past 10-15 years IMO are Duke and Kansas.

Yeah I agree that MSU will be right back at the top next year. They bring in some more tough/athletic guys next year. Izzo really has a good system going on up there. He knows what type of player he wants/needs and then goes and gets them. They need Lucas to come back near 100% though. Achilles injuries used to be career ending injuries not too long ago.
