Gonzaga outWisconsins Wisconsin in Maui, turning the ball over on just 12.5% of possessions, posting a free throw rate of 47.2%, and outscoring the Badgers 42-18 in the paint.

I'm taking this as a hopeful sign that MSU's win over Gonzaga, as ugly as it may have been in execution, represents (1) an early data point indicating we are, in fact, a pretty good team and (2) what will be a very useful notch on our belt come NCAA Tournament seeding time.
