will be interesting to see how much tougher MichSt plays today..I see he is starting Davis...bout time.
Sparty vs Badgers
- Thread starter hawk-i bob
- Start date
he really is good..that was a great run out & catch...the McQ kid...also good pass. MichtSt is loaded...wouldn't surprise me they don't lose the rest of the regular season..wouldn't be something..2 losses
rolleyes...
I saw that Davis was included on the list of next year's NBA draft picks that someone provided a couple of days ago. Is he expected to come out after this season? If so, MSU is losing a lot: Valentine, Costello, Forbes, and Davis. Not that I am going to feel too badly for them.
Hard to pull for the Badgers, but in this case, i will make an exception. Wisconsin's not going anywhere this year and I would like to see them further bury Sparty.

He hit the Jenny Craig or something.
I think I'd rather have every TV commentator in the country mention that MSU's only losses of the season were both to Iowa for at least a few more days.
Wow, TV Ted must have shed his love for Izzo along with those 40 pounds, because he’s calling fouls on MSU that he’s NEVER called on them before.
Sorry, just can't feel bad for or want the Badgers to win, in ANYTHING.
Call me a horrible person if you want to.

I'm with ya. Prefer they lose Everytime they compete in anything.
I’d rather see MSU with a tougher road in the Big Ten Tournament. The more energy they have to expend before we face them for a third time this season, the better.
Absolutely pitiful execution on the inbounds play. MSU deserved to lose.
This game is exactly what I would expect if the refs continue to actually call the rules regarding freedom of movement. MSU plays defense with their hands so much that they'll continue to rack up fouls (rightfully so) if the refs don't let them get away with it.
The things with MSU, they are never that great this time of year, but they always get better as the season wears on, and by tournament time, well, they have made a lot of long runs.
I guess this loss probably knocks MSU out of B1G title chase. However, the two big wins of Iowa over MSU lose some of the shine.
I don't know why some Iowa fans hope Iowa will finish with 14 conference wins. Since Iowa is ranked and they only have 2 more games on their schedule against teams that are currently ranked in the AP Top 25 they should win all but two games and more if their ranking means anything.
The AP seems to have way over rated the Michigan State team so those two wins may not have much clout for Iowa when selection Sunday rolls around.
Iowa State is 2-2 but still have the same record they had playing those teams at the same venues last year. Iowa should be glad they don't have to play their remaining schedule as ISU has 7 currently ranked teams left on their remaining conference schedule.
As for Iowa giving away the game to ISU. I was watching the replay of the Oklahoma at ISU game last year on the Cyclone TV channel last night. I knew ISU came back from a 22 point deficit from Oklahoma in the second half but wasn't remembering that it was with a 22-0 run. Hoping they can do the same this year but could do without the 20 point deficits to win that ISU has found themselves in several times in the last two seasons.

What in the hell are you even replying to?
No one even mentioned ISU in this thread. We lost, shame. But we are 5-0 in conference and that's what concerns us.
"As far for Iowa giving the game away to ISU" this entire paragraph was in reply to a statement nobody except yourself ever made. You wonder why you Get called little brother when your post screams "hey guys! We play basketball too!"
Just like fball, Big 12 b ball is over rated, remember f ball beginning of year and almost everyone in the conference was rated, SOS were inflated because of this but bowl season came again and where was the powerful Big 12, on the bottom, too bad March comes again but maybe Kansas can save the leagues butt before they move to the Bib 10.
just because a ream isn't ranked doesn't mean it's easy to beat them. Especially on the road.
stop using your hands on defense and work a little like using your feet would be a start for MSU....didn't see the whole 2nd half cause needed to head to CHA...did see McQ double hand check...25 feet from the basket..got called & Izzo was stunned....Tom the rules have changed ..get with the program.
If you want to see how to defend using your feet... watch Gesell against Michigan & when he had Walton...that's how to defend using your feet. Izzo has a few guys who are defensively lazy...would that be also soft?

The scary thing is, when they are seeded that low, they usually go on a run and make the at least the elite 8. They rarely miss the sweet 16, but a couple of times they have been a lower seed and took it all the way to the elite 8.
I know they are going through their struggles, but they will get it figured it out and be a tough out come March.
