I said to my dad that burke
I said to my dad that burke should have not taken the layup and pulled it out and held for the last shot after that steal but that was just a crazy game theory that comes out of my head during a nerve racking game. Glad he dunked it and we won.
Go Blue!

I GUARANTEE he leads the country of all coaches in timeouts used. He'll use all of this TOs up or down 20, he's always going to call it.
But I agree, it could've cost them.

Rarely Thought About...
Rarely Thought About...
Something rarely thought about, I would think, emerges when you consider the 0-12 performance in three-point land.
| TEAM | FG% | 3FG% | FT% | Eff. FG% |
| MICHIGAN | 42.4% | 0.0% | 72.7% | 42.4% |
| MICHIGAN ST. | 35.6% | 27.3% | 75.0% | 40.7% |
We still outshot them despite being outrebounded (28 total to their 41, and 9 offensive rebounds to their 17), but sloppiness with the ball (18 turnovers to out 7 turnovers) and some inattention on the part of State (compare our 11 steals to their 3) made all the difference in the world.
Playing hard...that was awesome.

Michigan loses to PSU despite scoring seventy-eight points but beats MSU w/out a made three. We knew this team could surprise us in bad ways, but now we know they can surprise us in good ways too. Great, great win...Also, Caris Levert = valuable player. Very happy for the kid.

never been more happy to be wrong. if you told me that we would get killed on the glass and have no 3 pointers I would have thought they would lost handily.
the first 10 minutes of the second half, we finally got home cooking from the refs. then they just stopped calling fouls on them.
I thought Lavert was outstanding. a number of times I thought great play Hardaway. only to great that it was Lavert.

Great job!
Great job!
Great job today! I saw a lot of hustle, and not a lot of stupid plays. Who needs threes, right??? But I think Stauskas is more important than "just a shooter that can also drive". I think his ability to get open for good looks is important, because there seemed to be a lack of great looks by Vogrich, LeVert, and Spike. But hey, minor complaints!!! Great game, and go blue! Beat the Hoosiers and Purdue!
Go Blue. Greetings from SEC country.

The offense
The offense
Yes, the defense stepped up and was affecteive on the guards of the spartans, and i apologize if someone above already mentioned this, but I'm so glad they were actually running some sort of offense again. There weren't many, if any moments of trey burke hero ball where he takes over possesion with 12 seconds left on the shot clock and he holds it to make an isolation play. We were setting screens, making cuts, extra passes when appropriate, everything you want out of an offense. I think a lot of that can be attributed to Jordan Morgan. He is the glue guy on this team and is absolutely vitale to this teams success down the road. Either way, hope this scheme and effort continue the rest of the way. Go Blue!

Burke
He was a beast...Appling was riding his back all night because he could not stay in front of Burke. I was most impressed with his defense the last couple minutes. Trey's defense won that game.
Trey's game has left me in complete awe. He really is something special. Just enjoy him while we have him.

Hopefully we can build on this win for the rest of the season.
On a side note- anyone in attendance spot any visiting recruits? I know we had some visitors this weekend, and they were treated to a great win. Maybe a win on many levels.

The point of the floor-slap is to remind yourself to bend your knees and get your butt low to the ground so that you're in position to change directions.
The Sparties bent over at the waist to slap the floor. Grannie-slap!

I don't see any whining...
I don't see any whining...
I see people discussing the game.
Sure a win is a win and we'll take it. But someone brought up the topic and it was discussed. I'm glad they didn't get negged to hell for bringing it up too. Half the time people go nuts on people who bring up negative things during a win...like it didn't happen.
Just like the 0-12 from 3...if it wasn't discussed in this thread, I would've never have realized how bad we actually shot.
As long as you're not saying stuff like "we should've lost" or "we suck"...I don't see a problem with discussing the game in its entirety...the good and the bad.
We won by 1 point, there's going to be some bad. If we won 110-57, then I might agree with you.

Happy with the win. Frustrated as hell with Hardaway.... ironic given how the last play of the game went, but he seemed half asleep at times in the second half.
Go Blue! Always!
Now we should not say ANYTHING about Indiana or a B1G title share...jinxed us pretty bad last time...
