Lame.
Would be similar to the MSU Football twitter page tweeting out congrats to Nick Foles on his Super Bowl victory.
We all laughed and then they took it down.
Same thing would happen with the banner.
Nebraska is going to need to either win the BTT or win from now until Sunday of the BTT to make the NCAA.
Thus, if you want to see Nebraska make the NCAA it will likely have to come at the expense of MSU losing to them on Saturday in New York. This will likely cost MSU any shot at a one seed (and may even reinforce the thought MSU won the regular season crown on merit of schedule).
I don't think there is a path where Nebraska can make the NCAA without it being detrimental to Michigan State.
So do you still want to see Nebraska make the NCAA?
Minnesota is even more shorthanded than Wisconsin and yet the Badgers needed the hometown refs for victory.
Pathetic. My ears would be ringing from whistles if the shoe was on the other foot.
And claiming National Championships when the NCAA tournament was inferior to the NIT.
That was bad but what was more egregious was the no call when you guys were trying to foul Happ to make him shot free throws and earn the tie.
Watch closely. He's rolling his ankle before he maybe even contacts Davison.
Honestly just wanted Nebraska to win so they look like a better win for MSU. Don't even really care if IU goes 2-0, or 0-2, or if Nebraska goes 0-2 or 2-0. They're #61 in the busted ass RPI, not sure anything is going to push them into the Top50 range.
Not sure a 1-seed is possible for MSU based on what the selection committee is saying is important this year. Unless maybe they win the BTT and beat Michigan/Purdue/OSU along the way. Even then, they'll still have a lower number of "quadrant' wins than other potential 1-seeds.
I love how the BTN pregame announcers make every B1G team sound like a final 4 team no matter the record.
Your odds of getting a quad 1 win with Nebraska are basically impossible at this point.
On the other hand, the road win at Indiana could sneak up to quad 1 if the Hoosiers win their next four games or so.
Plus Michigan State played Indiana twice to the one time versus the Huskers.
It is marginally incremental, but the smart money would be on Indiana
I will absolutely love how these top teams play against each other on a neutral court at MSG. Should be epic.
Maybe I’m crazy but does it seem like the Izzone has lost a step or two? Doesn’t seem the same as it was when I was in school (graduated in 2010).
Not crazy at all. Very disappointing. Many people on our HB talk about it a lot.
How many times have they looked great, dominant? Not many. Struggled against a lot of bad teams. But that's how all of college basketball is this year.
Yeah. MSU has avoided the bad loss though which every top team has at least 1. (Maybe UVA doesn’t).
Frazier though for Ill has hit two jackass desperation threes with 1 second on the clock.
MSU will win easily.
And again Sunday. This MSG crap needs to stop. We're not the only team with a stretch like this.
As early as my freshman year(08-09) I remember people bitching about the Izzone falling off a bit, but it seems like especially the last 2-3 years there's been a steep drop off.
Agree. I think we are going to see a lot of very good games; Well minus whoever Rutgers plays.
They looked dominant the first ~half of the season. They haven't looked dominant since the OSU loss.
That happens in conference play. A lot of good coaches making adjustments.
They definitely seem weaker than in the past. They have been consistently outshined by the "oldzone" (izzone alumni game when current students are on break).
Not sure what happened. Seems like more people are interested in texting, or wearing goofy outfits to get on TV than to actually be loud and cheer. They only get loud after a big dunk / play anymore.
