Yes they are two reasons. Louisville is arguably a team with the most momentum in the country given their Big East tourney run and two wins so far. From a basketball standpoint, I expect them to try and pressure MSU in the backcourt and honestly I think they should try and full court press from time to time but not all game. They have a good balance inside and outside but they are a tough team to play because of their scrapiness and ability to dictate the flow of a game. Like I said earlier a helter skelter game would be perfect for Louisville.
As far as Izzo goes, most people think he is a lock for another Final Four. I picked MSU in my bracket to make it that far because I thought they were the safest bet in that region but the truth is that sports rarely plays out like you expect it to and I think this is setting up perfectly for the Spartans to get knocked out. Also, keep in mind how many times Michigan State has made the Final Four as an underdog i.e. lower seed. This year they are a #1 and everyone is expecting them to advance to Louisiana.
Do you really think laying 5 to a hot Cardinals team is the play here? It's Louisville or nothing.
