What really stood out after the Michigan State vs. Oakland game wasn’t just the action on the court—it was the genuine bond between coaches Tom Izzo and Greg Kampe. Despite Kampe never beating Izzo in 24 tries, his post-game words about their friendship were pure gold. Kampe called Izzo the most important relationship of his career, and you could see how much it meant to both of them. Even with the rivalry, there’s so much respect and warmth. Plus, those ugly Christmas sweaters? Instant classic. It’s moments like these that remind us sports are about more than just wins and losses. What do you think makes a great sports rivalry? #Sports #CollegeBasketball #TomIzzo
