Duke Game

Grayson with the flop and of course the refs fall for it

Izzo offense aka no offense. This is brutal

My god bridges needs to get his head right at the line. He's less than 50% that's unacceptable

Jefferson should have 5 fouls by now. Awful no calls down low

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

Wow what bullshit call on that Ward dunk.

Refs caving to the coach k pressure... K might not pay them if they call it evenly

Couple of BS calls on us this half. I think 2 of these 3 refs live in North Carolina and thus are Duke fans. and the other got suspended for 10 years after a controversial Duke/Maryland game in 2006.

It's just seems like the team runs out of gas in the second half. So frustrating

It has been a tough year to be a Spartan fan. Football was brutal, and basketball is looking the same early.

On paper record wise we are about what I had figured we would be at this point, I was hoping to have maybe beaten Arizona. However, the fact that they have played well for 20 minutes (even less than that against Zona) and then awful the second half of about 4 games now (3 of which ended up as losses) is extremely frustrating.

Is there any word on Schilling and if/when he may be back? Goins is just awful defensively, I can't take much more, I'm hoping the walking foul Schilling will be able to step in and help.

the officiating in the first half seemed pretty even and they let them play quite a bit. The the refs must have realized they were in Cameron Indoor at halftime - I think we got whistled on 3 or 4 consecutive plays during that 12-0 run and they were in the double bonus at about the 10 minute mark - and we were in the bonus shortly after that. They tried to make the second half as unwatchable as the last dook/MSU tournament game.

I've never seen someone miss more dunks than Bridges.

Playing on the road against a team like Duke you can't have a bad stretch. We played them even save for a 3-4 minute stretch where we had a couple bad turnovers, missed an easy shot, and the refs didn't help. Bad goal tending call and a couple questionable calls and we lose because of that one bad stretch.

Ward is the truth. Winston is going to cut down on the dumb mistakes and when he does he'll play 25-30 minutes a game and run our offense a lot better than Nairn can. Schilling should be back in another month and that is huge. We win that game with another big body last night.
