Duke will win by double digits but MSU will win pretty handly also. Izzo will make sure the spartans don't overlook this game.
February 20th, 2014 at 6:42 PM ^
Stuck in class. Yay WatchESPN.
February 20th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
Nebraska also going for another win to get close to the Tournament!
February 20th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
A few weeks ago, it was noted that MSU, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebraska were something like 40-1 in home games not involving Michigan. Who'd have guessed that Nebraska would be the only one of the four left to be unbeaten against everyone else at home?
February 20th, 2014 at 8:15 PM ^
Wow...yea. BIG TENN!

Nice hard foul by Hammond to put Payne on his ass.
February 21st, 2014 at 10:05 AM ^
Payne in the ass.
February 20th, 2014 at 7:20 PM ^
February 20th, 2014 at 7:22 PM ^
Just talked about MSU's "injury problem" which I believe is just Payne and Appling, one of whom is just an idiot
Guaranteed that in the game vs MSU they bring up MSU's injury problem but conveniently forget to mention the strange absence of some Mitch McGary guy
February 20th, 2014 at 9:22 PM ^
Branden Dawson too. He's the idiot, the other two are probably just wearing down after all of these years.

February 20th, 2014 at 7:28 PM ^
I read your post before I checked the score, and assumed MSU would be up big. Purdue's still hanging around.

I think State is 0 for the century in getting a stop after they slap the floor.
February 20th, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
February 20th, 2014 at 10:37 PM ^
My guess.
February 20th, 2014 at 7:52 PM ^
State is currenty 12-18 from 3 and 13-20 from the floor. They have attempted TWO 2 pointers. (yes I know fouls but still)
February 20th, 2014 at 7:56 PM ^
February 20th, 2014 at 8:05 PM ^
26 total fouls in that half and 16 on MSU. there are times where is takes us 2 games to get to 16 fouls.
February 20th, 2014 at 8:11 PM ^
MSU had one 2 pt FG and is still up 11 in the first half? Lol Purdue.
February 20th, 2014 at 8:29 PM ^
Our defense might be worse than Purdue's.
February 20th, 2014 at 9:39 PM ^
February 20th, 2014 at 8:38 PM ^
If Purdue could make free throws this would be a game
February 20th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
It doesn't help that they allowed 17 three pointers.
February 20th, 2014 at 8:55 PM ^
Oh, Purdue. Thanks for blowing it and allowing 17 three pointers in the process.
Looks like Michigan will just have to do it themselves. Bring it on.
February 20th, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
February 20th, 2014 at 8:57 PM ^
Hopefully they used up all their shooting, 17 3s for Sparty.
They also have 25 assists on 27 baskets, that worries me more than their hot shooting.
February 20th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
I really hate Payne.

This same MSU team lost at home to Nebraska last weekend. They're not as bad as they looked then but they're not as good as they look tonight, either.
February 20th, 2014 at 9:17 PM ^
There is nothing worse in the galaxy than hearing Vitale call a Duke/UNC game.
February 20th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
Uh, I believe Mr. Vitale simply calls it, "The Duke game."
February 20th, 2014 at 11:24 PM ^
February 21st, 2014 at 11:19 AM ^
You don't have to say any more than call a game really IMO.
February 20th, 2014 at 11:01 PM ^
February 20th, 2014 at 11:17 PM ^
Always nice to see Duke lose.
February 20th, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
Duke is...a bitch
