I don't know if your a huge overall College B-ball follower, though I'm sure you saw him in last year's Elite 8.  Scotty Wilbiken from Florida is another ugly, ugly dude.  Valentine has him beat, but man.

I'm sure they're stand up guys, but I can't help my observations.

This. 

And you know if we do play them tomorrow, and they win, their entire fanbase will act like the regular season didn't matter.

Unfortunately Wisconsin looks terrible right now, so it's starting to look like a UM/MSU final.

This

I don't know why anyone would fear another game against MSU. Embrace the opportunity as you rarely get a chance to go for 3 wins over your rival in one year. Pull that off and this season is cemented as legendary. MSU would have so much more to lose tomorrow than Michigan. Even if Michigan were to lose, we still would have won the season series, raised a championship banner, and have the best tournament seed of any team in the B1G. If Michigan were to win, apocalypse now in Cedar Village.

Cold Out Of The Gate...

Wisconsin is only 4-18, including 2-7 from three point land. Yuck. That means they are 2-11 from inside, so I suppose this means that Bo Ryan will need to draw up some sort of hex to slow down the Spartans. I sense an appearance of the Rebounding Wraiths at some point if things do not improve for the Badgers.

Question for those with good memory

When we beat Sparty the first time, at the Breslin, had the injury bug bitten them yet, or were they at full strength? That was back in January, and I'm not sure what their roster status was, but we won by 5 on their floor . . .

They haven't been healthy all year. When they lost games it was injuries, when they won games it was grit, heart, and coaching. 

In answer to your question though, they were definitely without Dawson because he punched a table in stupidity anger for the first one. I think they were also without Payne in the first.

Wisconsin starting to play like they did during that rough stretch they had at the beginning of the B1G season. If anything this game makes me question how far I'll have them go in my bracket.

That's right.  7 of 9.

Looking like their rounding into typical March form.

Wiscy certainly isn't done but I like M getting a firmer hold on a potential one seed.

Good job of Sparty lowering their defensive PPP when slapping the floor there. Fouling can only bring down their 2.4 defensive PPP. Idiots.

They are right about the

They are right about the experience thing with MSU - most high rated 5 stars are gone post sophomore year so MSU has experience most teams don't due to slow development.  Most 5 stars go to the NBA after 2 years. MSU retains them forever... Dawson and Payne lol... Appling was a HS All American to boot.  Payne is a 23 year old 5 star - big men are a premium.  Compare to Vonleh who is a top 10 mock draft guy after 1 year in NCAA. 

Only Gary Harris is someone on a normal path for a high end 5 star.  Izzo spends the first 2 years breaking down players and then trying to rebuild them back up in their jr and sr year - that calendar is not working for most high end recruits now.  Harris is one guy he never did try to break down.

We're already 2-0 against them.  Going from 2-0 to 3-0 doesn't seem that like that big of a deal.  But for them, going from 0-2 to 1-2 would be big, especially since they'll use that ol' Spartan Math to not count the first two games.  

If we were playing Wisconsin tomorrow, I'd be OK if we lost.  But now, we've got to win.
