BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 Maybe I will get fried for this, but why did MSU fans storm the court? Yes I know Wisky is No. 1, but in my opinion MSU is still a better basketball program then Wisconson. I thought storming the court was stupid. I don't see anything wrong with it. It was a down year for MSU, Wisky has had MSU's number lately, it was a tough game, and it was the first time MSU ever beat a #1 team during the regular season. None of the kids there were around for the championship in 2000. Maybe half of them were around for the final four in 2005. It was an emotional game and everyone got caught up. Izzo said he didn't have problem with it, so I don't see anything wrong. It's a lot better than when Duke rushed the floor after beating unranked VT one year. Better get em quick, this are going to be a collector's item Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted February 26, 2007 &^% YES!!!!! 2007 BIG TEN CHAMPS! What a game! Ah ah ah.....regular season champs That must have been a hell of a game though. 49-48....typical Big Ten slugfest. I imagine if you could ever apply three yards and a cloud of dust to basketball, that would have been the game to do it. I got a little something to brag about in my own right: no ACC championship yet, but beating Georgia Tech on Saturday clinches a bye in the ACC tournament. 10 wins in the ACC pretty much punches your dance card, but I sure would like to be seeded, say, 4th, instead of 7th. Still, we haven't been to the tournament since 2001, at which time we flamed out as the unlucky sacrificial 5 seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted February 26, 2007 North Carolina lost to Maryland yesterday which sets up a terrific week of ACC basketball. UNC, VT, and UVA are all tied for first at 10-4 with two games each remaining, and BC is at 10-5. Big race to the finish line. Game of the week will surely be Virginia Tech's trip to Charlottesville on Thursday. It's a race to see who's the best team in the best conference in the country!

BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted February 26, 2007 I wish the polls would get released. I'm guessing MSU is going to be around 22-24. I just hope we don't have a letdown against the Weasels in Ann Arbor. Even then, I don't think losing the last two will keep MSU out of the tournament.

mannysBETTER3434 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2007 Take this for what its worth...Word is that Amaker will be fired after the NIT according to WXYT. This is suprising to me because I thought he would get one more year just because of his incoming recruting class. Although it is still just a rumor...hope its true though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 UM shows why it's good to be the home team, 33 free throw attempts to MSU's 15. Nothing like some home cooking. Of course, pretty much every home team in the Big 10 gets it. Really though, I'm actually not too bitter. Drew was sick. Harris played absolutely out of his mind, draining those threes from long range. MSU is still going to make the tournament. I actually hope UM beats OSU, that will keep the turtleneck around for a few more years BTW, UM had no attractive girls in their student section. And they call MSU the cow college?

Besides, PSU scared the s*** out of us twice. PSU may suck this year, but they can be a pain in the butt. They have some solid young players who when they are on can be a big thorn in your side. UM shows why it's good to be the home team, 33 free throw attempts to MSU's 15. Nothing like some home cooking. Of course, pretty much every home team in the Big 10 gets it. Have to disagree on the "home cooking". U-M took it inside, and Sims actually decided to play forcing Suton (whos a joke), and Naymyk to use fouls. Dion, and Smith (another joke) penetrated the lane causing Morgan, and others to foul. MSU hardly went inside, and with Neitzel sick hardly no one drove the lane. I give you the Neitzel excuse though. It would have been very interesting if he was healthy. As for U-M I'm pumped because it's always nice beating the spartys, but I still think this team is NIT bound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted March 3, 2007 Seemed like Michigan got a little "home cooking" refs today, then the fans are outraged when a questionable play doesnt get called. By the way, watching this Ohio State drives me up a wall. They miss more open shots, run the dumbest plays, and yet always manage to just barely win...March Madness is gonna take on a whole new meaning for me.

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 Man, this whole week is going sooooooooo slooooooooooooooowwwwwwww waiting for the ACC tournament to begin! I am very much not happy at all about losing to Wake Forest and blowing the outright regular season championship, but when it comes down to it, it's the winner of the tournament that goes down in the record books. Just having the 2nd seed is blowing away expectations, so that's a plus. If Singletary and Reynolds take over like they're capable of doing, we've got just as good a chance as anyone to come out on top. Not quite OSU-style expectations, but we don't have Greg Oden either.

Rough day so far for the higher seeds in the ACC tournament, as Clemson and Maryland have also taken nosedives. Now let's hope tomorrow is not a case of "be careful what you wish for"!
