MSU conference tournament thread

Opener vs OSU. I'm hoping for a big start and early lead so Winston doesn't have to play 35+ minutes. Saw he's dealing with tendonitis in his knees. This team is due for a lights out shooting performance so hopefully that happens today.

 

[gotime909]

Not the start I wanted to see. Thankfully Loyer is keeping us in it

I'm not watching the game as I'm at work, but I almost fell out of my chair when I just looked and saw he had 14 points.

Easy game after the first half.

 

[Spartanmack]

well that was an interesting 4 minutes and 23 seconds...

What is Winstons "injury"?

this is all I've seen on it - from gotime's OP

There was something about a toe or foot injury suffered against UM that is bothering him a bit.

Loyer stepped up and Cash only had to play 22 minutes. Ward looked good, but his hand is still a bit of an issue.

Winston’s toe is bothering him, but he said he can play through it. We’ll see how it is.

I hate watching Wisconsin basketball. All the slapping and flopping they do is maddening

 

[SpartyNash]

How the fuck is that a foul on Ward? Davison is such a rat

 

[gotime909]

All those minutes have caught up with Winston. Kid is tough as hell

 

[gotime909]

Too much hot dog from Tillman on that dunk. Just make the bucket. You don't need to try to bring the rim down

 

[gotime909]

So many times this year I look up and see lineups like Loyer, McQuaid, Ahrens, Goins and Tillman and wonder how this is a top ten team. It amazes me what they have accomplished so far.

 

[gotime909]

Gonna take some clutch plays to win this one the way it's being called. 12 msu fouls and only 4 ft attempts for Wisconsin tells me that they're calling shit

 

[MSUMatt28]

We've had endless chances to put this away and keep letting them hang around. Yeah refs aren't helping.

 

[gotime909]

Man, I'm leaning toward wanting to see Winston sit tomorrow. That kid is our only chance at a run and he needs rest. Every game he's getting hurt more. As wide open as the field is we have a decent shot at a title with Winston and zero shot
without.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Good win. Although Winston is now nursing 4 separate injuries, he’s barely played 45 minutes this weekend so he’s getting some rest. Win tomorrow and a 1 seed is still a small possibility.

 

[MSUMatt28]

I think it we get Michigan tomorrow and beat them again that we should get the final #1 seed.


Stupid Dickie V rattled off about 6 other teams in the running and never mentioned us. Gonzaga doesn't deserve it now, and I tend to think UNC should drop to the 2 after not getting it done last night. And the loser of Kentucky/Tennessee would be out of the running.

IMO Duke and VA are locks. I think Gonzaga will still get a one. If MSU wins today the final one will be either TN (if they win), MSU or NC. All three have very similar resumes. If I were on the committee I wouldn't give it to NC since there are already 2 ACC teams as one seeds. That would leave 28-6 MSU or 30-4 TN.
