Jamie Samuelsen: MSU laments another Duke loss, but it’s only November

Tom Izzo is as passionate about this sport as he ever has been in his entire career. If you want to go with revelations — that may be the biggest thing to come out of the game. These mid-November matchups are fun for the fans and the media because they give us the whiff of a Final Four game without the huge stadiums, constant timeouts and tedious over coaching. You get a chance to see supremely talented athletes go at it with very little on the line other than, of course, winning a basketball game.
