PrintDiscuss the exciting exhibition action being shown at BigTenNetwork.com here. Or follow the action through the comments if you're not willing to pony up for the online feed. (Friend-of-TOC* Tim Bograkos is the color guy, if that pushes you over the top.) There'll be a free broadcast of the game on BTN tomorrow at 4:30. You can also listen to the action live at the Spartans Sports Network website.
I've got access to season tickets this year (hiiiigh in the sky, so don't get too envious), so I won't be around for home-game discussion threads. I am pleased to announce, however, that we've got another official TOC contributor on board to pitch in with basketball-related blog activities. You know him, you love him: Con-T! [Pause for wild, unrestrained applause.] Tim (as his non-internet friends call him) has done great work on a number of FanPosts/Shots (this entry being the finest example) and general recruiting updates, and we're thrilled he's agreed to be fully assimilated into the collective. You can also follow him on Twitter (Josh, too; we've sucked him into the tweeting vortex now).
As for the game: Get ready for waves of green coming off, and returning to, the bench. Given the injury/practice situation since Midnight Madness, I've got the over/under on the highest number minutes played by an MSU player at 23. Also, I'll got out on a limb and predict that Keith Appling is the leading scorer for MSU in his Breslin Center debut.
*Liberal interpretation of the word "friend": (1) replies to our Twitter inquiries and (2) agreed to be interviewed in our magazine (which we haven't mentioned in days--on sale at local newsstands NOW!).

online feed sounds pretty awful
anyone else notice that? a lot of feedback or something in the background.

it's only really noticeable when it's quiet
I would hope there aren’t many times during basketball season that Breslin falls quiet.
I am quivering with antici
-pation.
Seriously, the Big Ten Network has a clock counting up but no feed yet! Killing me.
stat-tracker or game-tracker?
anyone found one?

no luck
perhaps because they are exhibition games? I mean, the result of this game is not ‘official’, right? I don’t see anyone’s exhibition games listed.
that's what I was finding, too

i had this problem last year
sometimes the actual link to the game can be VERY difficult to find, even when logged in. it might not show up under “my games” or whatever it is…keep looking around…
Problems
Check scrolling the game options backwards to the left. I had to actually search for it. The default game that I was given was something else.
MSU 36 SVSU 19
Lucas has 12 points
Green has 8 (2 3-pointers!)

Sounds like Thorton is having a nice game
Also, seems like the offense is perimeter based right now…just taking what they’ve been given?
I'm listening online, not watching it
so I don’t know for sure

Finally got it working
A very impressive, high-quality video feed. Bummed I missed Green’s 3-pointers.
I think you can actually go backwards and access the previous stream anytime
I could be wrong but I think you could theoretically go back now and watch the first half.
2 for 2
intrpdtrvlr = BTN.com seasoned vet. Looks like I will watch the first half after the second half.
His defense is _awful_
Only his first exhibition — but the kid has not impressed me so far. Don’t expect him to come in and be stellar right away.
Man..
Nix doesn’t look to have improved ANY since last year. His offensive game is simply brutal
hah
“well everyone is talking about Nix’s improved free throw shooting…aaaand no.”
i’ll waiting for a larger sample size to judge..
Based on 2nd half alone
A little rusty, but for the first game, I’d say yes. Lots of positives (Lucas, Summers, Gauna, Appling, Green.) Solid depth.
Yup...
lot of mistakes on D. Lot of problems switching off and accidentally leaving men wide open, etc. SVSU is just not a good team so they can’t take advantage of all the problems.
Definitely
but the chemistry will develop and that’s one area (defensive switching) where I would expect them to be making mistakes.
guana
im interested in. hes a big dude. if h e has a nice little jumper, he can get in there early. i also thought just by looking at guana if he does have ajumper he could get in over sherman.
Yup.. good series for him there...
but he is getting pushed around a lot.. play before that he got his butt knocked to the floor and consequently was unable to get a rebound. Once he puts on some muscle he’s going to be a force.
74-33

feed was working earlier, but not at the moment
BTW, aside from the auto-reload-to-refresh, I like this scoreboard… all the stats on the right in particular.
I used that site a lot last year
I like, a lot.

Thoughts on Appling?
Seems to look pretty legit to me so far. Defensively seems to be doing the best of the freshmen… playing pretty solid I think
He seems the most "college-level" ready
But you can tell that Payne will be solid once he gets acclimated.
from http://twitter.com/Spartan_Radio
Someone just threw a paper airplane from the upperdeck and it went in the hoop. easily the best shot of the day
And balanced himself on the rim with just his chin.
