...and into the Sweet 16.
Nice tough win over USC. Lots of gutty defense and rebounding, and Draymon Green really came into his own with Suton in foul trouble.
On to Indy... |

Man...That game was disgusting...
Zero ball control, terrible ball movement, modest perimeter shooting, thankfully...USC was slightly worse and our D stepped up when we needed to. Kansas will capitalize on those miscues... |

Just like they did last time we played them?
Guess I saw a different game than you did, D. |

nice job by the senior guard, clutch shots.
Next round will be interesting, Kansas is playing better now then before and your not home this time. State has so much more talent though. Perhaps coaching will even it out a tad.
Nice win for the b10 |

It's amazing what the schedule can do for you in terms of "playing better". Kansas starting looking better when they got into Big 12 play. IMO, the Big 12 is a weak conference with only 3 quality teams (Kansas, Oklahoma, and Mizzou). Kansas won both games against those teams, but when they played Oklahoma, the Sooners were without Blake Griffin. As Wolverine fans can now attest to, playing Oklahoma without him is like not even playing the same team. |

That Griffin is a monster.
I think MSU is better then Kansas, and should win.
Any of you routing for Sienna? |

I was referring to Sunday when they were giving your brackets #1 seed a tough game.
Of course I knew you were. |

Good enough to get the job done. And a darn good job by some. Brilliant? By no means. I have a hard time being objective with these guys. |

I don't, I am a fan, but I am not blind. They need to pick it up next game, watch the turn overs, better ball control... |

Kansas poses a different opponent than USC. USC was long and altered a lot of shots. |

Kansas is going to give us a totally different game than USC gave us. We match up a great deal more favorably with them. Healthy Suton on Aldrich takes away/negates a major weapon. Collins can have his normal good game and no harm will really be done. State 74 Kansas 64 |

Impressive game by the Spartans. Even though I'm not a MSU grad, I was still excited to see a great game where they fought back and won. I'm really happy for my Spartan buddies over this game.
Nicely done. |

what a great game. I think the Cleaves/Lucas comparisons are starting to look more and more legit...One more win and on to Motown. |

Man, oh, man. They sure don't make it easy, do they? Hell, I was tired by the end of that one. |

Story of the Spartans' season, they look bad, sloppy and overmatched - until they win.
Another nice gutty performance, with come-through perfromances by Suton, Lucas, and others. Timely steals, great defense over the last 3 minutes, and near-perfect free-throw shooting win this one.
Louisville will be a serious, and perhaps final, challenge, but if State can stay in the game early, look out. |

Congrats to all of my Sparty friends and seeing their team play so well. It's going to cool to see this team come to Ford Field and have a "home court" advantage.
It was a great gutsy game taking down Louisville. |

Tell you what...I was so confident the way they were playing. My friends and I were all saying Summers or Suton was going to have a big game...I would not have guessed that BOTH would have Monster Games. Goran was awesome. UCONN better be ready |
