MSU vs Maryland btt semifinal

[gotime909]

Just splitting our FT's every time is not gonna do it

 

[gotime909]

Holy Shit!!! Dawson made both!!!

 

[gotime909]

I would love to see Schilling play some TE for us in the fall

Holy Shit!!! Dawson made both!!!

A rare bird in these woods, seldom seen.

Bad call on the Wells foul

 

[SpartyNash]

Wells is such a bitch though so I am happy

 

[Spartan23MSU]

Trimble throws another obvious arm and we get called....

Damn straight!!!! The team left it all on the floor today. Took a great team effort.

#6 seed is likely and that is huge to avoid the top 2 seeds until the regionals.

 

[gotime909]

Great win!!! After weathering that early Maryland run we crushed them the rest of the way!!!

First 8:30 of the game outscored 23-7

Rest of the game we ran away with a 55-35 advantage

OK, Ellis throws the dunk down at the end and we cover the 4.5 spread. Shennanigans!!!

Yes, a solid 6 now. Filthy first followed by a fabulous second :tup:

Good win. They're doing a ton to help their seeding. We can debate the merits of conference tournaments, but it's still fun to do well in them. You can see the players bringing the intensity in these things even when sometimes it might be better to lose a little earlier and be rested for the NCAAs.

Marvin Clark is a much better athlete than I dreamed. He is a beast and can be great if he wants. He works hard and adds just a couple inches to his vertical and he is an NBA player. Compares favorably with Dawson. Bigger and stronger, stronger with the ball, much better shooter, not quite the athlete though.

That's a tad optimistic. He is slightly stronger than Dawson, based on what I read about each's weight lifting exploits, and he can shoot it some, but that's it. He's not nearly the athlete and has a long way to go defensively.

He's also a freshman.

 

[MSUMatt28]

He'll be a solid rotation player throughout his career. Maybe eventually a double figure scorer. He's too much of a tweener for the NBA though. He had a rough patch during Big Ten play after starting out pretty well. It's good to see him picking it up again.

Open at +6.5 vs Wisconsin. Seems about right, Wiksy likely didn't burn as much energy as we did today. Happy to make the finals and beat a top 10 team in Maryland, tomorrow is just gravy.

 

[Spartan23MSU]

Wed have to play nearly a perfect game. Wiscy doesnt turn the ball over and plays within themselves game after game. Im not sure a win would even boost us to a #5 but you bet your sweet ass id take one. :cheers:

We're playing with house money tomorrow, I expect us to play loose and be competitive.
