I forgot Austin Rivers was on Duke. I remember a couple years ago when Indiana was in town, the Maize Rage gave his brother Jeremiah a lot of shit. Those were good times. I hope we have the chance to do that to Austin soon.

Duke has a proud tradition of trotting out white stiff centers from Cherokee Parks (who was actually good) to Brian Zoubek.

They used to get drafted in the 1st round by dumb NBA teams. Not so much anymore.

Michigan State is better than I thought they would be at this stage. They have some young fellas out there that are good (Trice and Dawson), then the senior from Valpo can play (Wood),  plus they have an actual low post game.

Has barely substituted and Duke will pull away as MSU players wear down and get foul trouble late. This game will be the road map to beating State.

<br>I do think they look aMU C H better than their pre season #2 las year and will contend. But take away Green and they stink.

You could make the argument that in this game at least Green is actually killing them...he has forced about 4 or 5 horrible shots. had a few brain dead TO's as well.

As long as he plays within himself and not try to be a super scorer they will be fine. As Michigan showed last year a little chemistry will make a team better despite losing your better players.

come on now guys hate or not...the Duke/Sparty game has been called great. Both teams have been called for touch fouls, obvious travels, and they have let them play for the most part.

That was one of the cleaner officiated halfs in a college b-ball game in a long time.

why is every student section so much larger than the maize rage? man it just makes me sad to see how much better other student sections are not because of the students but the set up.

They're going to three-point each other to death in this game, and Florida's Mike Rosario threw a great pass to Tacopants earlier. Can one's imaginary friend play two sports at two separate schools?

Coach K needs to sit Plumlee's ass on the bench for a little while after that T.

I was watching and MSU was close with Duke. I turn on the Wings game in time to see the Wings not score on the PP, and give one up to the Blues.

I think I'm going to watch the Food Network. At the rate I'm going, I'll see an oven fire within 10 minutes.

MSU SUX - get the brooms out again. I know they played DUKE & UNC and kept the deficit under 20, but if Burke keeps improving like the jump we've seen from game 1 to 2 and State still can't develop an inside game, we'll get em 2wice.

Ohio State - Thad Matta just looks like a cheater. They are good though. If we make our free throws and play smart, they are beatable. Our bigs will have to play exceptional defense.
