How many more times are we going to watch Sparty lost a nationally televised early season game against 1 of Kentucky, Duke or Kansas?

Bridges has made some nice plays on D (3 blocks) and has 2 3's, but besides that has been very quiet.
Jaren Jackson, 5 star freshman, has easily been the best player for MSU. Very impressive so far.
November 14th, 2017 at 8:41 PM ^
And as I say that he hits his 3rd three
November 14th, 2017 at 8:47 PM ^
Very punchable face, yes. Flops like crazy, yes. But the dude can ball.
Also Jaren Jackson Jr is the best player on MSU.

I've been waiting years for ANYONE to trip Izzo. The dude spends more time on the court than most of his reserves. Someone needs to plow into him - easy points on the technical. Just do it!

I would still like our chances against them if we played them at Crisler this season.

I hate watching teams like this play eachother as it's inevitable that I will subconsciously begin rooting for one of these horrific programs to win and it will make me feel dirty for the rest of the day.

I guess I'm a relatively young fan (born right after the Fab Five) so I don't have much of a grudge towards Duke beyond the typical "Fuck Dook". If they're playing anyone else I want them to lose, but tonight I'll happily root for them.

Name checks out.

Carter just elbowed Carter, and smiled while he did it.
Duke being Duke.

The only thing keeping msu on my tv right now is the fact that the rankings are coming up next. fuck this...
November 14th, 2017 at 9:08 PM ^
TV Ted in the middle of things. Because of course.
November 14th, 2017 at 9:09 PM ^
Bridges has caught fire here down the stretch. His 3 point shot looks great so far.
Duvall for Duke has also been very impressive

This game is awesome. TV Ted aside.

"Champions Classic" = game between two teams who went 1-1 in the NCAA tournament last year...
November 14th, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
November 14th, 2017 at 9:21 PM ^
Of course not. I want the Men's NIT winner vs the women's NIT winner. Horned Frogs vs Wolverines baby!!
November 14th, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
This last minute or so for Duke. My god.
November 14th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
November 14th, 2017 at 9:19 PM ^
And that should clinch it for Duke. Did it all with the #1 recruit only playing 10 minutes due to injury (and he had 4 points, 6 rebounds-5 offensive in those minutes).
What a game by Grayson Allen. He looked like a stud.
November 14th, 2017 at 9:19 PM ^
With that glazed-over death stare.

As much as I cannot stand Duke and its smug, arrogant, weasel coach Mike Kacheski, the right team won.
