"...That guard getting a lot of Appling's minutes, Travis Trice, also stunk it up today...." Also, Valentine goes 2-8, 0-3, 1A 4TOs as #2 guard... I always thought he was a bit of a power forward in a guards body, so his awkwardness along w Trices unproven consistency, leaves a huge question...

"...Creighton did it to Villanova again 101-80..." And the Jays looked real good in doing so.....

Agree that both games were competitive. However, both MICH teams never led, never tied, rarely with in a 1-2 possession, and both faced large enough deficits late that were forced to foul, and both saw the leads increase in the end game. For sure, Applings poor play, wire to wire home loss...

"...After Payne's layup cut Michigan State's deficit to 51-49, the Spartans grabbed a defensive rebound and called timeout. After Kenny Kaminski airballed a 3 from the left wing, the Cornhuskers built the lead back to five on a 3-pointer by Petteway. The Spartans never got closer than three the...

Now why after both MICH teams lose to pull Iowa into a virtual tie w one of them (b/c they still play each other) would anyone start a thread about the ramifications of a tie w the team BEhind IOWA? That both amazes and mystifies me.

MSU was actually within two points for quite a while down the stretch...." Only one time, when Payne blew the transition lay up. Then Pettaway converts the lay up and one, and never a1 possession game.

And another thing, both MICH teams were favorites to win today, and they both kinda got run out of their own gyms. It's one thing to get beaten in a close, back and forth game, but it's totally another to get beaten wire to wire with the most competitiveness you could generate was a single 2...

SParty still must play @ MICH, tOSU, and Purdue, plusnthe home game v IOWA. W/ a hobbled Appling, there could easily be more Spartan bloodshed to come, maybe a lot more?

Whoa, Iowa get props from broadcast team... And that 10 pt home win vs Nebby looking better today... Really happy for Coach Miles....

So, no Appling=more Spartan blood shed...

So, I'm kinda glad Iowa is not playing Nebby again.

"Agreed KC, if we can stay outta foul trouble with our bigs I think they can handle Payne....." Iowa will have 10 fouls to give vs Payne... I think both Woody and Oly can present different defensive dilemmas vs Payne. Woody length, strength and Oly quickness and straight up shot blocking...

The Iowa vs MSU game may come down to how well Woody/Oly fare against Payne in the 1v1 isolations that MSU likes to run in the M2M sets....

Even the home crowd was shocked...." And hCoach Miles went all Franimal in response, (w/ out the T). Just unthinkable no call in favor of Izzos....

Izzo is a puke......" And the 1st 2 fouls go agin Nebby So, 9 mns in and zero fouls on MSU, 7 fouls on Nebby...

Pitchford hits 2 more buckets....go Yogi Pitchford....

Appling off bench but ineffective, Trice+Valentine 0pts 4 TOs, and pain w 4 pts. Nebby 5-2 in last 7, if Pitchford can go all Yogi Farell, they will have a chance.

How does Sparty get obvious calls? Sparty throws ball into backs court, every player on both sides stopped playing, only to have the refs swallow their whistles, and in front of Izzos bench. It looked like Applings triple jump at Iowa....

"...Have you seen Michigans remaining schedule? It is WEAK. After MSU they play the bottom of the conference...." At Purdue may be tougher than you think, probably -3 vs MICH. Plus, MICH will have to face Hammonds inside. Additionally, Purdue crushed an IU team by 20' that beat MICH. So, i...
