I'm kind of scared to look at the box score and see what MSU ended up at for FG%.

26% (22% 3P). Ouch.

hahahahahaha

Missed last 14 shots

Almost all contested threes

 

[B-Westy]

Well, the two best Big Ten teams moved on to the next weekend we know that for sure.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Has not been a good year for Sparty.

Multiple scandals involving Izzo.
Football program setting records for number of sexual assaults.

Belein dumptrucking Izzos best team ever twice away from home by douboe digits while bringing in more talent next year and looking like a preseason top 3 team.

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

They went to a final four like 4 years ago? And no offense, but Iowa....

3 straight first weekend exits for what their expectations are... Not good

 

[klize17]

Never agreed with @Mgkcbb but he is dead on with Izzo

 

[northeastspartan]

3 straight first weekend exits is quite a while for what their expectations are

Two years ago and this year are inexcusable. But last year we lost in the second round as a 9 seed to #1 Kansas after squeaking into the tournament as a bubble team ....not exactly an unexpected early exit...

 

[SpartanJD]

Wow MSU missed their last 15 shots from the field. Would best Cuse 19 out of 20 times. Sucks this is the 1. But if people watched MSU all year they knew we weren’t true tithe contenders

Completely forgot MSU was a 9 last year. Damn

 

[B-Westy]

MSU has lineup issues all season and Izzo could never figure it out. Beating up bad Big Ten teams masked that.

He had the players to do it. Horrific coaching from him

Ben Carter 23 mins?

Did you see him pass open the wide open look?

Michigan State ends the season with only 3 wins against NCAA Tournament teams. That's crazy. Here they were:

Purdue
UNC
Bucknell

Sorry to change the subject but I have a question about Purdue playing Butler today. I thought they tried to avoid rematches in the opening weekend, is that not true anymore?

OSU vs Zaga was a rematch.

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

OSU vs Zaga was a rematch.

I thought they tried to avoid that. Could they not do that this year with locations and seeds?

 

[ScarletnGrayBuck]

I thought they tried to avoid that. Could they not do that this year with locations and seeds?

They do with conference teams I know but saw this: Since the 2008 NCAA tournament (excluding matchups in the First Four), there have been 35 tournament games between teams that played each other previously in the same season. In 32 of those instances, the two teams played just once prior to Selection Sunday and the winners of the first matchups are 21-11 (.656) in the rematch.

Ok thanks

And Langford

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Oh man......... Michigan still dancing with MSU's self anointed best team in a decade out. That's pretty sweet.

 

[B-Westy]

Izzo was CRYING at his presser? My god. Give me a ****ing break Tom.

Uh, two best B10 teams? You guys both won the B10? Weird. I thought MSU won the regular season.

 

[SNU0821]

You’d probably be all on Painter’s sack if he ever did something like this. You Purdue fans have an unhealthy obsession with MSU (really with lots of teams, but I digress).

 

[northeastspartan]

MSU>Purdue

But yes, the best team in the B1G has moved on to next weekend.

 

[boiler1987]

Video?

 

[boiler1987]

MSU>Purdue

Keep telling yourself that.

 

[SNU0821]

Keep telling yourself that.

Well they won the B10 regular season title AND beat you guys. Not hard to draw the conclusion MSU > Purdue.

How could you possibly think otherwise?

 

[klize17]

Keep telling yourself that.

Purdue literally had every chance to show they were better and coughed up a 10 point lead at home lost at MSU and to an abysmal Wisconsin in the regular season. Another great chance in the BTT and lost that. At some point you have to win to say you are better.

 

[boiler1987]

Well they won the B10 regular season title AND beat you guys. Not hard to draw that conclusion.

If Purdue had won the B1G regular season title and had beaten MSU but lost in the 2nd round while MSU advanced and I said Purdue>MSU, I’d be laughed at. How is this different?

We had one chance against MSU and it was on the road.

 

[SNU0821]

No you wouldn’t. Do I really need to explain it to you?

 

[klize17]

Correct and Michigan State didn’t choke at home or on the road to a bad bad team like Purdue did

 

[SNU0821]

Not for Purdue fans. They rely on moral victories.

 

[northeastspartan]

If an outright championship and head to head victory doesn't make you a better team, I'm not sure what does

 

[boiler1987]

No you wouldn’t. Do I really need to explain it to you?

I absolutely would. No doubt in my mind.

 

[SNU0821]

We had one chance against MSU and it was on the road.

You’re better than this. Don’t be like the other Purdue homers/idiots.

 

[SNU0821]

I absolutely would. No doubt in my mind.

What can you point to that leads you to believe you are better than MSU?
