  • Tuesday night becomes huge now for Michigan. At Northwestern is going to be tough. Northwestern is 16-10 and firmly on the bubble. A win against Michigan puts them at "last 4 in". Michigan and Ohio State have to run the table to have a chance at a share at a Big Ten title. Oh, man.

    What a great Big Ten season thus far.

    I agree they are playing great D but some of that was just Purdue being awful. They missed some really easy shots.

    Thought the d was rock solid, they really frustrated their game. There were a couple of points where Purdue tried to go down low and the ball would either get stripped or blocked.

    With exception to the Flintstones the team definitely looks as good as any Final 4 team I've seen from Izzo. Dawson's role on the floor reminds me a lot of how Jason Richardson's was his freshmen year. Definitely expecting a good run in March.

    Agree with this 100%. I'm circling the calendar and leaving Tuesday night open, There's now way I'm going to miss that game. This is definitely an exciting dash to the finish line.

  • This MSU team is really good. I think they win out to win the Big Ten and clinch a 1 seed. Michigan's no slouch either, but I'd be scared if we meet again in the Big Ten tourney. MSU has really stepped it up and is playing unreal right now.

    Dawson will be an All-American once he develops a decent shot. The kid can jump out of the gym.

    Agreed on all points, except the being scared to play them in the BTT. I want that and I am sure Novak and Douglass want it.

    Yep, MSU is playing their way into a #1 seed.

    I remember a few years back Drew Sharp wrote a column saying there's no way Day Day leaves MSU without winning a championship. As a fan that's the type of hyping and pumping you love to read but at the time wasn't fully buying it I think this was his sophomore year. When I look at the numbers he's put up this year I'm just in awe of how far he's come along. I rarely say this about Drew but I hope he is right.

    I said about 15 pages back or so that a rubber match would be incredible. Definitely hoping for one in the BTT.

    You have the link, answer it yourself. Wait, holy crap, you won't look up answers to your own questions. roflmao

    Doesnt MSU have a BB game you're supposed to be watching and posting in BB threads at trcmb about?

    OK. We'll just call it 10 to 1, then. So my point is spot on...you guys are more interested in football recruiting than basketball.

    FYI...I rarely post during games.

    He doesn't get as much recognition for the Naismith as he should. The B1GPOTY should be strongly considered for the Naismith.

    Winning in Indiana is never easy and even though both of our teams beat OSU that's one game that is deadly. If they work out their issues they can beat us.

    Yeah, that's the only game I think we have the potential to lose. I think we bury Minnesota at The Barn.

    As of right now...Michigan would get the 2 seed...they are 1-1 against MSU, OSU is 0-1.

    TWO-TEAM TIE

    1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.

    2. Each team's record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings (or in the case of a tie for the championship, the next highest position in the regular season standings) continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

    A. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.
    B. When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group is unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1); in the case of tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000 the following shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.

    3. Won-loss percentage of all Division I opponents.

    4. Whichever team has more February recruiting victories.

  • Sadly, I don't see MSU losing another game down the stretch. IU can't stop them. OSU has been exposed. I'd love to have at least of share of the B1G Championship, but it's not likely to happen, imo.

    BTW, Purdue sucks.

    MSU isn't a very good football program.. takes year of consistent winning to get to that level. - copemoney 1/22/13

  • I thought I would be worried about at Indiana, but not the way we are playing. Wow.

    A #1 seed and a Big ten title after the expectations this year? Izzo baby, izzo

  • Izzo is the best coach in the country. Just really amazing. He'll go down in history as one of the best ever.

    Many MSU fans weren't saying that after the Illinois and Michigan losses. For the record, I agree with your post.

    Huh? One or two losses doesn't tarnish a coach's legend. Izzo is outstanding and I don't think any of us expect him to go undefeated every year.

    ....tRCMB says some dumb shit sometimes. No matter what happens, Izzo will go down as one of the best ever. He's a god to Michigan State followers and respected around the country.

    I like Hummel a lot, he is a great college player. If he didn't get hurt last year they probably would been right in there for the B1G title.

    How did I not figure that out with the thinly veiled shot? I must be slipping.
