Tonight, we are all Golden

I think the Gohphers give Sparty a game. No road game is easy.
The committee's stance that conference record doesn't matter will be put to the test this year. I think any B10 bubble team should be ahead of the third team out of the Pac-12.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.

Minnesota
I haven't seen them play at all this year (The only game of ours I missed was the game we played them). I feel like they should be better based on the classes Tubby has been bringing in combined with his coaching (at least I thought he was a good coach). Whats going on there? I know they have some off the court problems last year. Have those carried over?

Your friendly neighborhood Sparty
You
cant just walk into the Barn and expect to walk out with a win. I predict a Minny victory to save any chance of post season play.
21 years of coaching and every senior who stayed had at least 1 big ten title... That is what " Those who stay will be champions" will really get you Ohio native Bo Schembechler.
Plus
MSU has had a few huge games back to back so they are prime for a let up game. I dont like let up so I am going with let down instead.

I don't like that logic...
as it could just as easily apply to our next game.
Yeah except
that was the let down game last night. Same type of game and we needed to hit 15 3s and go to overtime to get the win. So maybe my logic will work for Minny

??
phantom fouls / no big men first half / outscore by 18 in 2nd and OT on the road in the biggest game in the home teams history = Letdown ? ?
I'm not buyin it.
Those who stay...
For them
yes it was their biggest game ever in the history of their program. So yes it was a possible let down game did you even watch it? With all the things you wrote it still took 2 huge threes in the last minute and 15 threes total to just pull away in overtime. The game was very winnable by them. So I think it was the making of a let down game but we prevailed which was great.

what game?
I didnt watch
Those who stay...
I want Minnesota to win so
I want Minnesota to win so bad, but I just don't see it happening. I think the best chance for State to lose is at IU.
What
about Ohio last game of the season for a title shot on the line maybe?

They still have to play OSU.
They still have to play OSU. Sure, the Buckeyes have struggled lately, but they're still are really good team--much better than IU, at Assembly Hall or otherwise.
It's also senior day for
It's also senior day for Green. I still think a loss to Indiana is more likely than a loss to Ohio for them. Although both are very possible..

Minny
Difficult place to play. I think The Gophers have a legit shot at the upset. Problem is, Sparty knows where they stand and how important the game is... so they're bound to show up ready to play
Those who stay...
Other teams we would like to
Other teams we would like to lose tonight include Marquette and Kansas.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.
Iowa has a legit shot at 9-9

Purdue has an interesting
Purdue has an interesting résumé. They're 18-10 and 8-7 in conference, but their RPI was just 55 coming in. Are they in?
I think it is similar to us
I think it is similar to us from the last few years. They make at least .500 in conference I think they're in.

I would think .500 in
I would think .500 in conference and not exiting in first round of BTT should pretty well be a lock.

He played today against
He played today against Nebraska and had quite a few threes (five to be exact).

Well crap. I'm still frustrated MSU somehow lucked into not having to deal with him.

Draymond Green
Shooting lights out from 3 point land is not a good sign for anyone going up against them. WTF is that about!?

If you're Minnesota, the one guy you just can't leave wide open repeatedly is Green. Tubby Smith doesn't impress me as a game coach.
Hey Sparty...

If you've ever wondered why it's called the Barn, well...
And there are apparently animals besides Gophers living there. Minnesota senior Ralph Sampson III said players have seen bats and bird flying and mice scurrying through Williams Arena.

Blast from the past
Trey Zeigler dropped 33 tonight to go along with 8 rebounds. He would have been a nice pick-up, him and THJr pushing each other would be fun to see.
Zeigler
If Ernie Zeigler is dismissed after this season (not a total shock if it happens given how terrible CMU has been) I wonder if Trey would stay at CMU given that he basically went there to be coached by his father.

WTF is going on here. Four for six from three point land.

Not a bad first half. Usually it's a good idea for the away team to have a 10-point lead.

But I would freak out if
But I would freak out if Smots was holding the ball at center court to start our last possession of the half...

Still have faith in Metrics. You just never know when somebody is going to have that break out game. He's got talent. Just needs to continue to work with Bacari.
Halol.

Okay, that technical foul was
Okay, that technical foul was bullshit. He was going full speed and let go as soon as his momentum stopped. If he dunks and lets go immediately, he could gotten rocked by the basket support.
Agree.
I do agree with this, however, I think all the refs know that they owe Minn one or two calls after they looked at the double foul on the monitor. That should have been a flagrant on Payne.
This is MICHIGAN
Seriously
I am no MSU fan but that was an awful, awful call. Appling was going full-speed into the dunk and needed to gather himself using the rim or he would have surely crashed to the ground awkwardly.

I agree the technical was BS. He dunked and his momentum carried him backward. As he was going backwards, basically as soon as it was safe, he let go.
