Tom Izzo , 70 , is coaching No. 2 seed Michigan State in his 27th consecutive NCAA tournament.

Five of the eight teams seeded either No. 1 or 2 in this year 's men's bracket are coached by men 65 or older.

The new era is by no means without its flaws and frustrations, but it has its benefits as well.

MSU has had nine different leading scorers this season .

Izzo set up more team bonding, especially off the court with trips ranging from an August barnstorming tour of Spain to a Detroit Tigers game.

"Their connectability and togetherness is as good as 99 percent of the teams I've had," Izzo said.
