Stay a bit longer and dance? Don't mind if we do.
When was the last time Tom Izzo only had six players in double-digit minutes? Most improbable MSU NCAA run ever--making it all that more joyful.

Tale of two halves
First time we’ve ever thought that after a game, right?
First half was a rudderless ship. No purpose or focus. No executable plan. The second half was night/day different. I can’t wait to hear what was said at halftime.
It's going to be a good night.
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It’s just amazing how players gathered themselves and performed in the second half. One more win to the Final Four.
The only big ten team still standing….
Amazing.
It's going to be a good night.

Yeah, don't get all the preason talk about building an elite program
There aren’t many if any programs better than the one in East Lansing.
Play 40
The clock has struck Midnight
Cinderella go home.
Light a man a fire, he'll stay warm for a day.
Light a man afire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Let's go Baylor
Take out those flopping poussies from Duke.
Please, please, please...
give us the late game on Sun (landing at 3 In Tenn).

Izzo is just an unreal coach
Enjoy him because they are so few and far between

class comments by Korie
first thing he said was to give credit to his teammates
Congrats. Do the big ten proud.
Avenge Ohio State, now.

I actually had MSU beating Tennessee for the Final 4
and they said I shouldn’t rush the bracket ten minutes before the first tipoff…

Thank you, sir
Boilers put up a valiant fight from the little I saw?

Yes they did
Duke hit every big shot of the second half. We made them earn it.

Post game presser
You just have to be impressed with how mature, articulate, and thoughtful Draymond Green is for a sophomore in college. He seems to be the go to guy for the questioners.
Didn't see this live
http://noise.typepad.com/hey_joe/2010/03/tennessee-awaits.html
Evan Turner is the national player of the year, no questions asked, and he has been great for three years for OSU and the Big Ten. But his end-of-game display was not impressive. First, he shooed away Jon Diebler’s hand when Diebler tried to help him up after the final miss, then stormed off the court by himself without congratulating the Vols.
It's going to be a good night.
I didn't think he was either

Turner had to know it was a legit block
He’d gone to a one-armed shooting motion by the time he released the ball. Firmly rejected back at him.

They should just call it a Draymond Green presser
The other guys really don’t need to attend the press conference. Do they at least get sandwiches or something?
Play 40
Working on Pick 16 contest update
But I believe it’s down to rook34 and TMadison25 for the win. The only team surviving that rook doesn’t have is Tennessee, and he’s in the lead right now. Only TMadison and wbrianr have Tennessee, and wbrianr is too far back to catch up even if Tenn wins it all. I think this is the situation:
If Tennessee beats K-State and loses the title game, and the other half of the Final Four is Baylor-WVU, it will come down to the tiebreaker.
Any other scenario which does not include Tennessee winning it all, rook wins.
If Tennessee wins it all, rook needs Butler to defeat K-State AND either Duke or Kentucky to make the title game. If Tennessee beats any of K-State, Baylor, or WVU en route to the title, TMadison wins.
Wow! I'm famous!
Someone mentioned me on the internet! Woo Hoo!
LOL! Go State!
Sahman a no show?
Didn’t see much, but it looked like they were all over him and he had foul trouble. I really expected St. Mary’s to win, based on their previous two.
It's going to be a good night.

Full update is done
Interesting note: rook’s entry is the only one with more than half of the theoretically possible points right now. (Pick the 16 highest-scoring at the moment, and you’d have 228. KJ is in second with 113.)
One Advantage for MSU and Izzo
Purdue beat Tennessee early in the season (yes, I know they’ve had some turnover since then). Since Izzo is close with Painter, I’m sure he’s going to give him a call and get the scouting report. Maybe he does the same with Self, although I’m not sure how close they are since Self left the Big Ten.
Anyone else still jacked
Feel like I need to go out and do something. Maybe build a log cabin IDK

I'm with you
I need some keys to the Y. The season that needed to end quickly just 2 weeks ago has another game and I can’t imagine life without it.
I love it when my team plays with “house money”.
Play 40
Nobody who beat us this year is still playing
Can’t express how impressed I am with Izzo and this team.
Technically North Carolina is still playing
but nobody cares.

Don't tell that
To Penn State fans. NIT CHAMPIONSHIP = BETTER THAN NCAA BERTH to some lunatic fringe of their fanbase.

I'll stop pretty soon
Delvon Roe: 27 minutes
Korie Lucious: 39 minutes, 4 assists, 2 TO
Durrell Summers: 37 minutes, 19 points, 7 rebounds
Very, very impressive.
This is what is great about March Madnesss
When the brackets came out lots of folks were lamenting the draw, saying the Midwest was the toughest bracket. Sometimes the planets align and lady luck calls your name. This is why the hoops tournament is so much better than the BCS system. Anything can happen and often does.
Great win!
means I am heading to St. Lou-ay! for the game sunday! I hope MSU can pull this one out. Showed great heart today!
Amazing
Every year, despite actual regular season records, I have the Spartans making a deep run in my bracket, and you guys just don’t disappoint. Well done guys!
