Coach Izzo on where he gets his energy:

“My energy is because deep down, I respect the guys that have left. I understand why some of them did. I appreciate what my boss told me a long time ago, ‘Your job is to be a steward of the game,’” Izzo said. “I don’t think right now enough coaches are standing up to be stewards of the game. A steward of the game means to try to do what’s best for the player. We’ll see as time goes but right now, at least for another week, I’m still hanging in there, man. Not going anywhere. Not going anywhere.”

Frustrating season for several reasons, but they won a game in the tournament, and that’s an improvement.

Roster had to look COMPLETELY different next year, and the offensive philosophy is going to have to change.
