OMFG I am going COMPLETELY CRAZY for March MADNESS

[Spartanmack]

Yeah someone did a study one time and fouling and putting them on the line is by far the higher percentage play. The odds of getting offensive rebounds on a missed FT aren't good unless you can miss the shot perfectly and have it come out long. And even if you can secure the rebound in that situation it's usually a difficult shot attempt that'll come from it. Purdue's mistake was doing it with 5 seconds left, which allowed Virginia to formulate something after a tapout went all the way beyond halfcourt.

EDIT: Watching the post game right now and Jerome said he didn't even miss the second on purpose. So they felt there was still THAT much time left that they weren't at that point yet.

But that was just a great game. I can't help but feel good for the Virginia kids after the previous early exits, and after what happened to them last year and having to live that down. And Edwards came out and was hitting everything in site, and they had to match that. He and Guy were going shot for shot for awhile there in the second half.

how much of a difference doea that make? too risky for purdue to wait much longer esp w/ the chance they screw up and foul on the 3 pt attempt. even if they thought there was enough time, theyre still turning the game into a free throw contest that still has to favor purdue. as it turns out, purdue f'd up on the miss and they got a lucky bounce.

Boy Auburn has run some really iffy stuff down the stretch..Score still tied 58-58 with1:25 left and auburn ball with 3 seconds left on the shot clock.

Why settle for a jumper ? Drive to the basket Young fellow !

 

[biggunsbob]

Auburn missed a front end of the ft. Dang that Washington kid for Kentucky is real good.

Charles Barkley’s team makes the final four for the first time. Congrats to Auburn well deserved after losing Okeke ! Bye bye slimeball coach from Kentucky!

It's fucking hilarious. Auburn keeps wheeling this guy around like he is some little disabled kid, lol. Here lil' Timmy, place the magnet in this spot.

Well it's not often I stand with our fellow Michigan brethren against a common enemy. Today is one of those days.

Go MSU! Beat the piss out of fucking Duke please.

 

[UMRules06]

Pretty good start. MSU getting offensive boards and 2nd chance points is a good sign.

 

[biggunsbob]

Msu is out muscling Duke to start this game.

 

[biggunsbob]

Duke kids look rattled me.

Msu is out muscling Duke to start this game.

Agreed, and it's exactly the way they should be playing vs Duke. Punch the bully right in the nose.

They have duke playing a from the outside also. They are not a good three point shooting team. Playing right into MSU hands shooting the long shot. Well maybe not .

Why not post about the game on the threads that the Sparties have started? They post on our game threads all the time.

MSU cant hit a fucking bucket. They look exactly like Michigan from the other night. Refs look a little one sided under the basket. Ward got mugged and they called nothing and then Duke gets a call right down the court the next play.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

And can we get a non-Duke player to voice the game. Grant Hill sounds like an idiot.

 

[biggunsbob]

Duke goes on a run goes up 30-21, and then MSU counters with a 13-0 run to take a halftime lead of 34-30. Msu always has that run when they get behind. Pretty amazing.
Duke did look rattled at the end of the half.

Kryzlshivelshitski needs that Plexaderm shit on his eyes. He needs to tighten it up a bit.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

State needs to blow this game open. Drive on Williamson, get him out of the game.

 

[biggunsbob]

Man can Zion leap. He is so explosive. The game in a nutshell is if MSU can rattle the duke freshmen. Maybe which team can start hitting threes maybe ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Duke has 11 turnovers to MSU 3 so far 14 left.
