Nothing like this today, please.
I'll be MIA for all of this one due to Sunday afternoon activities of a familial nature. Enjoy the game. If you can't get fired up about second round action in the LEGENDS CLASSIC, what can you get fired up about?
(Totally not trying to jinx the team by making fun of the tournament they're playing in. I'm already on record as being a bit nervous about this one.)

can't believe he didn't get seriously hurt
scary stuff
Right
It’s funny because his jumping and athleticism are bailing him out for being out of position. Of course, I’m not sure that’s going to work against Ed Davis.

I sincerely believe
that in two years, Derrick Nix will be the feature of pre-game packages such as, “A major question for Louisville today is how they’re going to handle Derrick Nix. Nix was a nightmare for North Carolina in the Elite Eight going for 24 points and 11 rebounds.”
Of course, free throws need work.
Maybe next year
and 35 pounds from now. This year his conditioning is going to be a constant hamper on his game.
Nix freethrows
I’m still hopeful that Nix my prediction of two made free throws will com to be, but just one made would be a step in the right direction, maybe even a trend.
Team is looking good

Go Spartans
Do we have a more ruthless 3-pt shooter than Korie Lucious? There is no one I’m more confident in when I see an open deep shot go up.

Id take Summers first.
With Summers he takes a couple less and seems to really get great shots. I think every shot he takes is going in

Go Spartans
it would seem that way

Was a nice pass from Korie
As long as he learns the when and where to make those kind of passes ill stay happy

Right when the football team knocks the wind out of me
There’s the hardwood squad, picking me right back up.
I love these guys.
Thank you MSU hoops
Early sunday game after yesterdays football debacle is the perfect medicine.
Great pass Lucious
this reminds me more and more of our 2005 team
shannon brown = raymar morgan
kelvin torbert = durell summers
draymond green = allen anderson
chris hill = chris allen
biggest comparison to be made is there are so many people on our roster who can be on the receiving end of an alleyoop – athletic wings opens up so many options for Izzo’s offense
Agreed
And says a lot about their potential. With Green, Lucas, and Morgan, this team may have a legit leadership advantage over the 2005 squad and that will be valuable.

I like seeing Sherman in there
but he has a ways to go. Biting on shot fakes hard, 3 seconds, etc. I still think that he can be a legit, fundamentally sound big over a 4 year career
Bad foul by Summers

Go Spartans
The two-man game
Lucious and Green need to play the two-man game. They could have a great two-man game.
two thoughts
Suton’s hedging on screens last year have spoiled me. He defended high ball screens so well, it’s hard to appreciate the effort on the floor right now.
Also, Lucious with only 4 TO’s on the season is impressive, particularly since he used to jump before he would pass and end up turning the ball over. Muc better at letting the game come to him this year
Considering the Spartan nation has a tendency to overreact after bad games
Allow me to say that this team might be really, really good.
Yep
It’d be fair to Valpo. This line-up is painfully fast for them right now.
