NCAA Tournament Round 2--Syracuse/Sparty open thread
por favor
Don't need this
No. keep this thread. The other thread is too far down
Yeah, the other thread was pushed way down.
after all the we were lucky, refs helped us, maar travelled... these salty losers really dont deserve attention
its a tourney game. stop sounding like a lil brother
should we start an open thread for every other game?
only Sparty would have a 6th year senior
He redshirted his freshman year to get his grades up to a level where he could have at least been accepted into a low-level university in Azerbaijan. He then redshirted again because of some....unpleasantness.....that happened in the dorms one night during his junior year. In other words, totally status quo Sparty!
I’ve never seen anyone flop more than McQuaid. What a little pussy.
go orange
But I don’t think cuse has enough O. Hope I’m wrong though!
To figure out how to beat this zone. For such a decorated coach he sure seems to struggle against other “elite” coaches.
Bitching about high glass bank shots at halftime??
You mean "NCAA Tournament afternoon open thread."
Sparty doesn't get the respect of its own thread.
Yes NCAA tourney thread. Change title.
Don’t you get how this works by now? They feed off disrespekt. By showing them merely an ounce of respect, they will fold.
man cuse has long armed dudes
Bridges is overrated
But he is the same player now that he was in November. Zero development. Tons of potential.
This is hideous.
just the way cuse wants it. MSU better have been practicing their toughness
MSU looks like they have no clue how to breakdown the Syracuse D. And Syracuse has been bad on offense all year.
First one to 55 may win.
To play McGary. Big man that can pass, distributing from the free throw line to the wings and underneath.
good call on the "first to 55"
didn't think either team would get there
Sparty having home games against weaker opponents than Michigan is facing is starting to chaff my ass. Hope these pukes lose.
Because Montana had to be the worst 16 seed in tourney history and Houston only lost due to blatant favoritism by the refs toward M and severe coaching malpractice by Sampson. Meanwhile Bucknell probably should have been a 4 seed that MSU essentially blew-out despite what the scoreboard showed. ******
*********** To be really informed on all things M you have to read the RCMB......
Although I would love to see a MSU loss, I think ridding the tournament of Syracuse would be almost as much of a favor by MSU to the average fan as M did by eliminating the man-bun and the unending discussion of such.
Now I am going to take a nap because this game is boring as @#&$.
Cuse has to keep up the defense. Effective zone right now
Bo Ryan approves of this game. Ge rid of the shot clock altogether and he would be in heaven!
This is coaching malpractice. He has had JJJ, Goins, and Carter in the high post. He should put Bridges there and have him play like McGary did. Instead, Bridges is hanging around the outside jacking threes. Izzo has played Goins and Tillman together. Neither of those guys should play at all, let alone together. I can't believe Carter is getting so many minutes.
The formula is so obvious. Put 3 shooters outside - Winston, McQuaid and Langford. Bridges in the middle. JJJ or Ward down low. Play them all close to 40 minutes. You don't need to manage minutes with this pace. Izzo is so dumb.
Shhh stop it man. Izzo prolly has his assistants read this blog during halftime. Don't do em no favors lol
*probably
Is there anyone on earth who looks like they wanna play basketball less than Langford? You feel like he's being coerced
looked as excited as houston when poole's shot went in
I saw him in a dogpile celebrating with his team, so I don't get the concern
They need an alternate feed with an Izzo cam. that would be gold
Jesus, just when I thought Michigan's games were offensive blackholes. MSU and Syracuse are setting the bar.
Four minutes to play in the first half, 32 points COMBINED between the two teams! And we thought our game was a rock fight.
Syracuse’s offense is almost as bad as ours was this past week.... ick.
Not sure if serious but Syracuse's offense looks infinitely worse. We got open but missed our shots, they don't even try to get separation
This is just ugly. I expect MSU to prevail today but I don't know how they'd get past Duke.
Or Kansas for that matter (who smashed them in the tourney last season).
Well, you can't rule out a Bill Self choke job.
But I think Duke is an absolutely terrible matchup for MSU - comparable to Syracuse defensively but light years better offensively. They can do to MSU what we did, and then some.
They should have just scheduled this at Breslin instead of pretending this is a neutral site. I
Learn to fucking score, Syracuse.
Sparty open thread? Weak, man. Fuck them now and forever.
Pretty awful moving screen call there. you have to move to get into position.
Obviously hoping MSU goes down, if not the silver lining is an early exit for Tyus Battle in his first NCAA tourney.
The fighting McPoyle izzomidgets
the way fouls are being called in this tourney, MSU should just drive into people. all Cuse players will foul out with 10 min to go.
