Elite Eight Day Two Open Thread
UConn has to do something to get some open looks on the offensive end
He crouches down so low and so slow
Call a fuckin foul on state jesus christ they are hacking like crazy
He is gassed.
Man I feel that if staee doesn't win this game Tom Izzo's head will explode
What an undeserved 3 points. Complete luck.
Sparty gettting away with murder down low. Have to start calling that. Its disgraceful.

Sparty started cold shooting. Everything else I see tells me they are winning this easily.
You don realize that Uconn is shooting 35% right?? Not exactly lighting it up either. As far as everything else you see?? What is that suppose to mean. They are getting beaten on the boards and have more turnovers.
State forced to use a timeout to get Payne out of the game because of his shitty conditioning.
Ya, I don't see sparty losing this. I'd say they win by 10 or so when it's all said and done.
MSU will win this game unless someone lights a fire under UConn. Should be a 20 point lead by now.
I hate waiting.
a one point win.
Sparty fans still complaining about Appling being "hurt". Unbelievable.
Sparty shooting 6-12 from 3. No chance that will last. They will cool off.
It's not like their shooting 11/12. Cooling down to a norm from 50% means maybe missing one more out of 10 attempts.
Most of those have been great, open looks in transition. UCONN needs to get back on defense
Ugh..way to go UConn. 5 point lead evaporates in 40 seconds. They did not get very good shots on their last two possessions and their transition defense left a lot to be desired for.
anticipating having them swatted. Must have been some rejections early? Just tuned in.
For the third time in three days I found mysef hoping all the B1G teams would advance, then tuned in and found myself disliking State so much I changed my mind.
Yea those shots I wrote about started as good penetration drives but the acutal shots put up were not great.
And I'm in the same boat! I kept thinking I was going to "root" for Sparty today but the instant I sat down, about 5 minutes into the game, I found myself cheering for UConn. It was a bit of a subconscious thing and took me a minute to realize what I was doing. I just can't cheer for Sparty to advance; and I'll be glad to hear about that Seniors to the Final Four streak ENDED.
If UCONN wins I'll eat the blazing wings
Win or lose, I never want those assholes from East Lansing to say that Michigan basketball is overly reliant on the three ball again.
That's literally the only reason MSU is winning this game.
You start the game playing like crap and you defense can keep you in it until you get the offense going.
MSU has seized control of the game?? WTF. They are up by 1.
or whatever conference UConn plays in...this kind of basketball leaves a lot to be desired
No one a team with guards like Uconn will stay this cold.
This is turrible
UConn is not very good at shooting. All day 3s are off the mark, can't hit runners, not even trying to get o the glass for layups. Woof.
Pay attention to the clock and hold it for the last shot idiot!
Florida must be enjoying this as neither of these teams has looked good. Also that's 6 points MSU has got when the ball bounced right to them. Pure luck.
Gators will be in the title game.
Way to suck the end of the 1st half UConn.
Just a horrendous end to the half for UConn.
I wouldn't be surprised to see MSU absolutely steamroll them in the second half. They took a lot of 3s, and hit a good number of them too. I think they work the paint a little more in the second half. Either way, I see them winning comfortably when all is said and done.
I hope that Giffey kid isn't on scholarship because it's being wasted badly.
That start and UConn is down by four at the half. They are fucked.
UConn is making me sick. C'mon guys
