wow MSU is such a train wreck at the end of games.  All of this in the final minute

1.  Can't shoot free throws, Costello misses two to keep the game at 3

2.  Almost fouled a guy shooting a 3 (which would be the 2nd time they did that -- the Minny guy made the 3 to tie that game), correctly called as non-shooting, but still, they just lucked into that foul when it should have been obvious to foul up 3 with under 8 secs to go.  IU makes both FTs.

3.  MSU misses the 2nd FT at the other end and Valentine fouls with MSU up 2.  Izzo has heart attack on the floor.  Farrell misses the 2nd FT

4.  Shooting FTs at the other end with ~1 secs to go, MSU guy misses the first and makes the 2nd, so IU can still throw up a halfcourt prayer -- if he misses the 2nd, the game's over.

Anyone catch the end of the MSU game.  MSU up 2 w/ 6 seconds and Trice at the line shooting his 2nd.  Izzo tells the coaches they're following b/c damn it, we're not losing like we did against Maryland.  Trice misses.

And then Valentine follows through on orders and fouls Yogi.  Unfortunately Ferrell misses his 2nd and MSU wins anyway.  It could have been a classic.

Congrats to Max on the start!

if works on his handle this summer, he will be ridiculous next year.  i can see plenty of down the lane driving slams next year.  his shooting is already well above what i would have predicted.

curiosity, why are we not begging Max to come back for another year.  He is a good player man.
