Here's what Tom Izzo had to say about Michigan State's second round match-up against Louisville in the NCAA Tournament

Tom Izzo and his Michigan State basketball program have a long, well-documented history with Louisville. However, most of that history occurred under the administration of coaching legend Rick Pitino, who is now at St. John's.

Louisville basketball is now manned by Pat Kelsey , who will lead the No. 6-seeded Cardinals in their match-up on Saturday against the Spartans. On Friday, Tom Izzo previewed the match-up, and you can find his comments below: "One of my first games against Louisville was they were celebrating the 75th anniversary of their championship.

They beat us by 100, might have been less. " "Another day, another tough prep. Pat has done a great job with Louisville.

They have good depth. " "I'm excited every time you move into a game in the NCAA Tournament. Some teams went down, other teams almost went down but looks like they are going to get through it.
