The Boiler Up! and Men's College Basketball evening Open Thread
Upset number two on the way tonight to upset the new "number one team" in the conference.
Others tonight include Pitt @ Cinci, Louisville @ ND, and Gonzaga is playing.
Proceed with belittling comments about Sparty so I may laugh while becoming drunk.
BONUS: What are you drinking?

The Big 12 sucks and they've coughed up three straight: one game at home and two easy ones on the road

And in 1989, we lost an equally infuriating road game to a red-and-white team (Indiana) on a long buzzer-beater. I think every team has one of those random coincidences from their title year if they dig hard enough.

Try leaving the 3rd grade insults to the 3rd graders.

Some people need to calm down a little - but we do try to avoid the little insulting names for other schools over here.

I'll tell on you if you do it again. And don't even dare telling on me for telling on you..

Aren't Harris and Appling supposed to be gimpy? They don't look like it. Reminds me of Draymond Green's "miracle recovery" last year.

All the other teams in the top 5 have at least one loss this week...

Since Miami got healthy they've been very, very good, but as you say it's a weak ACC. I'd probably go ahead and keep Indiana #1.

I guess home court advantage in calls aren't applicable with MSU.

Whoa - "Upset number two on the way tonight"?
You've got to change the OP. Don't jinx Purdue by predicting victory.

At the moment, it's a Boddington's Ale and the Pitt-Cincinnati game - both teams are living around 40% or so for field goals and we are fast approaching a combined 30 personal fouls in this game.
Both teams have great free throw percentages tonight though, so there's that.

It's uncanny how Izzo's teams go on runs the first five minutes of the second half. (Beilein's frequently do as well.) MSU is probably like +50 on the season during those five-minute stretches.

Having worked with a lot of Wisconsin alumni in the mid-90's I think I have more Badger anger than the average Michigan fan. Thus, had to break out the last of my Hopslam tonight. It is definitely helping to take the edge off!

Well, if I calculated this correctly, Notre Dame and Louisville both sit at a shade under 0.500 for offensive efficiency right now. It is an offensive rhythm of the variety that would make experimental musicians like Brian Eno proud certainly.
