MSU vs. OSU / College Basketball Afternoon Thread

Submitted by Mr. Yost on

Currently 11-11 with 15:30 to go...

I'm rooting for OSU to LOSE (see what I did there?). If the Buckeyes lose then the majority of the teams I don't want to see end up on the opposite side of the bracket. Including both MSU and OSU. Iowa is the only team on our side and they'd have to win 2 games before seeing Michigan.

Gah, still torn. 

I like OSU getting stuck with the 5th seed, but I don't want MSU to be on any sort of roll. 

Hate wins, and leaves me without an answer here.

This is where I'm basically at.  With the added need to have MSU lose so we don't have to hear about how incredible of a coach Izzo is for somehow, someway, dealing with the worst seriesof injuries since the surgeons working in the amputation tent at Gettysburg.

I don't see either of theses teams making it to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament. Too inconsistent on their offense and both defenses have lapses that kill their team. I'm prepared to play Wisconsin in the big ten final.

Iowa doesn't scare me anymore because they are in freefall. We can tear through their defense like tissue paper.

Would like Wisconsin, OSU, and MSU on the other side of the bracket.

They are living in a dream world, and all the BTN people and other announcers seem to agree on their awesomeness.  Ver frustrating.  One even had the audacity to say there would be a different Big Champion if they were healthy.  I was hot.

really struggles to score.  They just do not have anyone even remotely resembling a "go-to" guy.  Seem like a candiate for early out in both tourneys.

I don't see where any sort of OSU run in this game will come from unless MSU just goes completely cold and/or refs deal out some major homecooking.  Still, stranger things have happened in the B1G this year.

Just saw him almost explode his face all over somebody during a time out after they went up by a bunch. I won't be surprised if that guy ends up face down somewhere soon; chill pills in order.

today, and rooting against msu in their rematch in the bt tournament.  Wisc will beat the winner anyways, and I want Wisconsin again

It's definitely unforgivable not to keep floor balance against OSU - without transition buckets, this team cannot score.

Eh. About five years ago billy packer went on a rant on selection Sunday when four mvc teams made the bracket and SIU got a 4 seed. Pretty much embarrassed cbs and then the valley went out and did pretty well. I would understand if they were a little more forgiving to mid majors now
