Cause we're scheduled to win tomorrow instead of tonight. Sorry you're going to have to wait 24 hours for our victory.
All good things come to he who waits my friend........

Joe Lunardi has Minnesota and Michigan State in the tournament, but when he sees the score of this game he'll probably just replace MSU and Minnesota with 2 more Big East teams in his next bracket.
Well, at least we're playing both of these teams soon... in games that could potentially be "meaningless wins" to MSM blowhards...

Are you channeling Section 1 by any chance?
February 22nd, 2011 at 9:44 PM ^
This really is a horrible game. I honestly don't see how either of these teams are even in the discussion for an at-large bid, but whatever. Win tomorrow and these games look very beatable.
February 22nd, 2011 at 9:45 PM ^
I didn't think a game called by Gus Johnson could be brutally boring. But they've accomplished it.
February 22nd, 2011 at 10:37 PM ^
Hey, they are both on pace to score 50 now! Turning into a shootout!
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:01 PM ^
MSU is going to steal this game. Man, Minny is falling apart without Holden.
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:02 PM ^
Nolen?
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
Yeah - stupid spelling auto-correct.
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:06 PM ^
Minnesota looks terrible without Nolen. We should beat them, raised court or not.
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:08 PM ^
This just sets up for a winner-gets-in game at the end of the year if all goes well for UM.
MSU wins: Low score - lolScore

Sparty probably won't need to beat us to get in. Even if they lose at home to Purdue, they'll surely beat Iowa and that will give them nine conference wins.
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
If State makes the tournament with 17 wins my head will implode.
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:42 PM ^
We're already hearing every TV crew make apologies for them because "they played a tough schedule." Tonight's win will put them in the top 40 RPI, and even if they lose to us and Purdue, they won't drop enough to fall out of consideration. I think the only way they won't get in with a 9-9 conference mark is if they lose to Iowa at home, or in the BTT, which I can't see happening, even if they did lose to them earlier.
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:09 PM ^
Cheap win for Sparty tonight. There was no need for a whistle on either trip to the line for Appling that tied the game and then gave MSU the lead.
I am going to be CRUSHED if we don't win on March 6.
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
*March 5th
February 22nd, 2011 at 11:33 PM ^
Michigan will still win one way or the other on March 6th regardless of the outcome of the game. Win lose or draw, we will all go to sleep the night of the 5th, and when we wake up in the morning, Michigan will still be the best school in the Big Ten, and MSU will still be the armpit of Lansing, MI.
February 23rd, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
Well minnesota is definitely vulnerable now, and we just need to beat the piss out of sparty march 5th. But for now, BEAT THE BADGERS!
February 23rd, 2011 at 10:00 AM ^
FUCK I HATE STATE SO MUCH!! I fell asleep when it was 47-40 Minn. And I wake up and State won. WTF
February 23rd, 2011 at 10:32 AM ^
That was a fascinating game to watch, in a car crash sort of way. Watching both teams trade mental breakdowns and "deer in the headlights" looks was very entertaining.
Let's hope MSU doesn't figure out that Payne should be playing a lot more minutes before they play us.
February 23rd, 2011 at 11:50 AM ^
Minnesota is going to be devestated and is almost certainly due for a hangover after that apocalypse. Purdue should roll MSU. Happy days.
By the way, seriously, how did Minnesota lose that game? Pathetic.
