QUOTES FROM THE BIG TEN BASKETBALL MEDIA DAY HERE IN CHICAGO: TOM IZZO GAVE NEW UM COACH BEILEIN A TOUR OF THE MSU BASKETBALL FACILITIES!

UM Coach Beilein on MSU:

"MSU has never dropped off. They have had great continuity. I think they are a model of how to do it. I went up there and Coach Izzo showed me around and went up and saw the new locker rooms. Impressive."

For the record, I like Coach Beilein very much and I know that Tom does also. He is a very good person and he isn't a cheater. Tom told me earlier this summer that he wants this rivalry to get to the level of Duke/UNC and he think that Coach B can get it there.
