cLankford...lol. This team has shot for #### at MSG
Wagner actually missed Bach to Bach free throws.Mo is killing M here in the first half. 0-7 from the field.
This loss will drop them down to about a 4 seed now. 3 if lucky.Two double-digit losses to Michigan. This season is a complete failure for MSU regardless of what happens in the tournament.
Yep, it's all over. Fire Izzo.Two double-digit losses to Michigan. This season is a complete failure for MSU regardless of what happens in the tournament.
Beilein's is - without a doubt - an offensive coach. His best defensive team at M was ranked 34 on Kenpom (the team that lost in the finals).Yep, it's all over. Fire Izzo.
Michigan is gonna be an interesting wild card in the NCAAT.
That Wagner dude is the key, based on the few games I've watched. When he gets off, so does the rest of the team. And Beilein can coach his ### off. He's like the B1G's version of Larranaga.Beilein's is - without a doubt - an offensive coach. His best defensive team at M was ranked 34 on Kenpom (the team that lost in the finals).
This team is now ranked 6th. This is unheard of for Beilein.
Having said that, they are only 35 offensively, so its not one of his best offensive teams. Weird year at Michigan. But we will take it.
Yea what Mo does is allows M to play 5 out. Which works really well against a team like MSU because it takes all of their shot blockers out of the lane. And opens it up for our guards to drive.That Wagner dude is the key, based on the few games I've watched. When he gets off, so does the rest of the team. And Beilein can coach his ### off.

They are streaky, though, right?Yea what Mo does is allows M to play 5 out. Which works really well against a team like MSU because it takes all of their shot blockers out of the lane. And opens it up for our guards to drive.
Having a 5 who can shoot is ... fun.
Oh for sure. This is probably the worst shooting Beilein team at M in a while. Against Iowa on Thursday they were 3 for 19 from 3.They are streaky, though, right?
No matter - I'm taking them to get to the FF in at least 13 of my 427 brackets
The trend right now is repeating what happened during the regular season.First two Purdue/Michigan games this year were great games. But the wrong team won.
Hopefully tomorrow we can reverse that.
Lots of layups, Purdue hasn’t been good on defense.hard to beat a team when they shoot better than 50% from the field and don't turn it over.
This loss will drop them down to about a 4 seed now. 3 if lucky.
I can’t imagine anyone is scared of the SpartansCongrats to Michigan, I hate you. I know the big 10 is top heavy this year, but to go all cliche, I don't think anyone wants to see a big 10 team in the tourney this year.
oooofffffCongrats to Michigan, I hate you. I know the big 10 is top heavy this year, but to go all cliche, I don't think anyone wants to see a big 10 team in the tourney this year.
Except for how they ended the season and lost to last second shots to OSU and MSU. The Wisconsin game has been the only real let down game for them.Purdue has been trending down for a while. They are a big upset candidate in the tourney
Yeah I think all those late season losses are letdowns. They are not closing games and getting stagnant on offense. They are definitely a top 32 team but these guys are gonna lose to someone earlier than most will thinkExcept for how they ended the season and lost to last second shots to OSU and MSU.

Wow...really, you think they are in the top 32?Yeah I think all those late season losses are letdowns. They are not closing games and getting stagnant on offense. They are definitely a top 32 team but these guys are gonna lose to someone earlier than most will think
I like them. They are a top ten team. But they are not playing like it right nowWow...really, you think they are in the top 32?
They definitely have issues when they get out rebounded and turn the ball over, but that doesn't happen very often.
Care to wager on Michigan State's seeding? I will take 2, you get 4 and 3 will be a push.oooofffff
Why do you think no one wants to see a B1G team in the tournament? I think the B1G is fairly weak overall.Care to wager on Michigan State's seeding? I will take 2, you get 4 and 3 will be a push.
So you don't? Okay. Good luckBroncoFreak_2K3 said:Why do you think no one wants to see a B1G team in the tournament? I think the B1G is fairly weak overall.
State had a great season, one of the best ever in their history but I don’t think anyone is shaking in their boots matching up with them. They have consistently played down to the level of their competition. tOSU and Purdue are both on a downswing . I guess if anyone should fear any B1G team it would be umaa, as they have consistently been getting better as the season wore on. But they are the only ones IMO.
Recent court cases suggest otherwise.Dan Lambskin said:I can’t imagine anyone is scared of the Spartans
Livers likely needs time to rest the ankle so it might be for the bestQuestion is how with the time off play out? Never a fan of a hot team forced to cool their heels, but the other B10 teams will be coming off a loss.
Michigan is playing like a 1-2 seed right now, but mediocre start will keep them a 4. Nobody will want Michigan in their bracket because they will be under-seeded. The point guard Simpson reminds me of a raw Isiah Thomas. This team's downfall will be at the free throw line.
Positive, good chance the first round draw is another team off for a week plus. I'd be more worried about it with a mediocre coach, but we certainly don't have one of those.Question is how with the time off play out?

Vince Edwards has been battling illness and injury for a month. Before that he was POTY candidate. Hasn't been anywhere near effective since. Hopefully the time off will let him get back to 100%. If he's good to go they will roll their first 2 opponents.need2know said:Yeah I think all those late season losses are letdowns. They are not closing games and getting stagnant on offense.
