Here is a summary of Tom Izzo's comments in the press conference following the Oakland game
In general, Izzo was not as grouchy as I expected. Also, Greg Kampe is an absolute riot to listen to and a clear gem. I agree with Coach Izzo that it is great for both teams to play each other every year. It is a fun "rivalry" even if it has been 100% one-sided.
