Tom Izzo, Michigan State pick up another first-round win in March Madness, topping Mississippi State

This one, he said, might have been the most impressive, even to former Spartans greats such as Draymond Green.

Izzo’s win was his 56th overall in the tournament, trailing only three coaches for victories at one school. He noted that while the game was sloppy at times, former players Green, Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson would have enjoyed the “tough, rugged nature” of the Spartans’ win. The last tournament meeting for the two storied programs was the 2009 title game, won 89-72 by North Carolina.Marcus Domask had the 10th triple-double in men’s tournament history, and third-seeded Illinois rallied past 14th-seeded Morehead State 85-69 in the first round of the East Region. Illinois trailed 45-43 about 3-1/2 minutes into the second half. The Illini scored 32 of the game’s next 41 points to take total control. Next up for Illinois: Duquesne on Saturday.

Dan Monson’s run at Long Beach State is over. Second-seeded Arizona pulled away in the second half and moved into the second round of the West Region by topping 15th-seeded Long Beach State 85-65. It was the final game for Monson at LBSU. The coach was fired by the school earlier this month. Arizona will play either Dayton or Nevada on Saturday.

“That’s the great benefit that we have in this position where we can document her last run through this chapter of her life. But for ESPN, we can pick up with the next chapter as well, and we can cover that for the next 20 years. That is huge for us to be able to continue to tell that story,” said ESPN vice-president of production Sara Gaiero, who is in her first year leading production of the women’s tournament.
