Tom IzzoThe Golden State Warriors would not have won their championships without Draymond Green
I absolutely love him. He's, he's a versatile player... I don't think as good as Steph [Curry] and Klay [Thompson] and all the other guy, I don't think they would've won the championships without 'em. He just does all the little dirty work that makes a difference in the end.

Big CatHubert Davis made a major mistake pulling Armando Bacot for foul trouble against Alabama
Kott was an absolute monster on the boards. And he gets his third foul with like 14 minutes left. Hubert Davis pulls him for four or five minutes... what Kott was doing on the offensive glass, defensive glass, like they could not guard him, pick and roll. It just completely changed the complexion of the game. And I don't know why you don't say, 'Hey look, you're a 10th year senior, you can stay out there and not foul and just do, you know, still be a positive for us.'
PFT CommenterAlabama will score 120 points and smoke Clemson in the Elite Eight
I think Alabama's gonna run 'em out of the gym. It was a cute little win that Clemson had. You ran up against a team that couldn't make a three point shot. Alabama's gonna just score 120 points on you.
Big CatTerrence Shannon Jr. is the only player who can potentially stop UConn
If there's only one person who could possibly stop UConn, it's the way that Terrence Shannon is playing basketball right now. He's out of, it's like insane.

View profileTom IzzoExpanding the NCAA tournament too much will hurt the TV product in the second round because Cinderellas often get blown out after the first day
I worry if they expand it too much. You know, we have already, it's tough because we have Cinderella... the more you expand it, the more those kind of things happen. Which you guys all like the first day, right? But TV doesn't like it the second round. No. So it's always fun and exciting for you guys. And meanwhile I'm sitting home ready to, you know, whatever.
Tom IzzoWinning the weekend is the key to NCAA tournament success
Then I learned the Mike Krzyzewski rule, you gotta win the weekend. And once you gotta win the weekend, 'cause the game isn't good enough anymore. Nobody cares. If you win one game, then you gotta start preparing ahead of time for the weekend.
Tom IzzoPurdue is the hardest team to prepare for in the tournament because of Zach Edey
Purdue would be a different harder team to play for. They got a monster in there. He is not even human. I mean, he's guy, Zach [Edey] is, he's an incredible size, but he's a very good athlete in that. And Matt Painter does such a good job of getting him the ball 9,000 different ways that it's a tough prep.
