Maybe this will help make up for this year's stunning upset.
Long-time coach and MSU legend, Tom Izzo, will be named to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this year. And he's in good company: Allen Iverson and Shaquille O'Neal are also in this year's class of 10.
In his 21 years as head coach, Izzo has taken the Spartans to 19 consecutive NCAA tournaments. That's a Big Ten record, according to MSU.
And his teams have made it to the Final Four seven times, winning the NCAA National Championship in 2000.
Sixteen of Izzo's players have been selected in the NBA draft, according to MSU.
