...back on the floor for the last minute.
You can't box out on a FT!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!?
Nantz chokes away the score call. Where the fuck is Gus Johnson?
Shit
would have had 6 heart attacks by now
officially hates their fans. When was the last time they didn't have an on-the-edge-of-your-seat finish?
that we have something in common with the MSU basketball team??
...yes!!!
Sorry MSU fans, you can't win every tourney game at the free throw line.
Hit the free throws and PRESS! We don't need another Turner moment.
...Turner redux? Kellogg is right, they should foul. Sit down, Izzo.
...look concerned.
Does that Butler kid have the Larry Bird mustache?
...to the Championship Game.
I can finally stop hearing about state at work!
BUTLER!!! BUTLER!!! BUTLER!!! BUTLER!!!
Butler won.. but I still feel like I just watched a glorified highschool state championship game
Why tournament expansion is a stupid idea

We need tournament expansion about as much as a double post.
So, what's the over/under on property damage in East Lansing tonight?
As a previous poster noted, hopefully they can at least keep it "green" this time and burn their couches with ethanol gas.
In E. Lansing tonight.
but man I would love to have a guy like Draymond Green on my team. He gets fouled on their last shot and doesn't get the call then fouls out, and 30 seconds later he still has the maturity to reign in his coach's ridiculous rant at the refs over the clock, and then shake Brad Stevens hand genuinely.
That is all
I can listen to sports talk radio again!! Anyone on the west side of MI knows what I am talking about. HUGE should be off Izzo's nuts with this loss. Although I'm sure he'll make excuses for him.
who REALLY enjoyed the shot of Lupe Izzo about to cry after Sparty gagged. She's the Brenda Warner of BBall coaching wives.
How do you like your turnovers Lupe?
the second game will be played with a little more pace
stop blaming the refs. And by the way Tom, Butler played most of the second half without 2 of their 3 best players.
Go back under your bridge you whiny little troll.
Current East Lansing/MSU Riot Status:
As of 20:43:37 Saturday, April 03, 2010 there
a riot in East Lansing...
after all, you'll need to sit on that couch to watch...
a riot in East Lansing...
after all, you'll need to sit on that couch to watch...Was it just me or did Izzo just drop almost every possible excuse in that interview? Foul, Lucas, Roe, etc.
This is what bothers me the most about him. You can't argue that he is a great coach, but he could definitely use a lesson in humility. MSU had plenty of chances to win that game. Butler just played a little tougher.
Helluva game.
Anyone but Huggins, please. Call me crazy, but I prefer that my collegiate teams, you know, graduate someone from time to time.
...says he was surprised MSU didn't handle the physical nature of the game. He should be. That is the most surprising aspect of the game as the game was played at a Big 10 pace and with a ton of Big 10 banging.
Does this qualify as a Sparty, NO???
If you have to ask...
Butler Bulldogs! My family told me to relax after this game ended. I guess I was a little worked up. This win was impressive since Shelvin Mack was a non-factor in the second half because of injury. I'll be cheering for the Bulldogs Monday night!
don't like Duke and Coach K, but I absolutely hate Huggy bear and the whole state of W. Virginia.
Butler is not a Cinderella story! They were a preseason top 10 team and have now won 23 straight games. How the hell is that a Cinderella story?
applies more to their seed, than their preseason ranking. We knew they were good, but maybe not this good.
Would seem to me the cinderella aspect is more that they're from a mid-major conference--rather than their seed. Didn't MSU have the identical seed?
Last non-BCS to win championship was UNLV in 1990, if I'm not mistaken.
winning the title can certainly be considered a "Cinderella" even if the team came from the Big East or ACC. A team that low hasn't won in over 20 years
MSU has no one to blame but themselves. If you hold a team without a hoop for 10 minutes and cannot capitalize, you only have to look as far as your mirror to find fault.
And is just over 20 points....negging every post in the thread?
Edit: Fine, everyone gets a point
or generic other MGoBlog member seriously went through my history of posts and negged each one. i looked and laughed bc it took them about 2 hours to take off about 200 pts
