Scheyer must be the best recruiter in college basketball if 3 of the top 5 players in the country are willing to commit to the unproven successor to a coach who has underachieved with maybe the most talent in the country for the past however many years
Yeah, I’m sure it’s all legit-like recruiting
Fuck Ohio.
Sparty can kiss my ass.
Davison flop/charge....know your personnel refs!!!
It's been a minute since I last consulted the dungeons and dragons monster manual, so for people who are bigger nerds than I... are goblins or leprechauns more powerful? That will decide the outcome of this Coach K vs Izzo matchup
Goblins have a higher strength/dexterity rating, but leprechauns have decent intelligence and a good dose of magic ability...ultimately it depend'sh on the roll'sh of the dice'sh.

Despise Duke and coach K! Hoping MSU kicks their ass and Michigan gets to face them at some point in the tourney.
Sweet 16 feels good. Let's hope the kids rest up and are ready for a very good Villanova team down in San Antonio
This is where I'm at. The folks sayin "but how what for can anyone anyhow want sporty to winnz?!", aint seeing the big picture. How much more delicious would it be for Izzo to send coach Squidward packing, THEN somehow Mich meets sporty in this tourney, beats them, then sends Izzo into a retirement tailspin?! We all know Tom's not far behind coach Kay retirement-wise...and I'd wager a loss vs Mich in the tourney may very well do it.
Lol, why would Izzo making another Final Four and losing in the title game cause him to fall into a "retirement tailspin"?
I literally can’t watch Wisconsin play basketball it’s horrible. Had to turn it off
Tbh, when it comes to basketball specifically, I hate Wiscy a tad more than spahrty and ohio...and I'd wager Juwan agrees. I effing haaaaaaate that team with the heat of a thousand rabid wolverines.
Keep feel like Duke is ready to pull away...
Announcers feel like just raising their voice somehow makes it more exciting. It's not the tone of your voice, it's what you say!
The officials are royally screwing Iowa State right now.
Baylor women down 11 at the half (they're the 2 in our region).
Dook making Izzo look like a hall of fame coach
Okay, coach K, check if he has a fever while he has an ankle injury. He cares so much…
Don't look now, but MSU is only down 2 with 8:34 left. Hanging tough. What time is the meteor scheduled for?
Spartans playing well as crunch time approaches
Go Cyclones!
I broke my arm falling almost identically to how the Duke player just fell.
Also, this is turning out to be a good game.
EDIT: Be better if the refs would stop calling dumb &^% fouls.
If Duke could hit an outside shot, they’d be up by 10.
Good look for the B1G if Spartans can hold off Duke. I was rooting for Spartans to lose, but they deserve to win this one I guess.
Sparty up 5 with 5 min left...
I'm happy that at least one of these teams HAS to lose.
sparty may win this game. I wish there was way they both could lose.
My hatred for Duke is much greater than that of MSU.
Must have some Duke fans on here lol
Noticed that myself. Hehhee...
Coach K's last game?
I'm embarassed, and want as shower, but I also want MSU to win this. Just want to see Shifchefski go out on a loss he doesn't like...
sparty NO! LOL!
Notre Dame vs Texas Tech: https://www.ncaa.com/march-madness-live/game/303
Iowa State is up 27-26 on Wisconsin at the half.
I hate to see MSU get this win. But they play like a coached team. Even if that coach is part gnome
I don't see how you can really root for MSU. If they win, you can admit that Izzo did something useful. But, you can also hope that Izzo ate some bad fish last night and has to make a beeline for the bathrooms after the game.
I live next door to Staee. No Dukies anywhere around me. I want Staee out ASAP. Besides this is all they live for.
Coach K is every bit the scum that Izzo is, if not worse. Every person that deals with him personally will tell you that he's an arrogant prick to everyone around him. He's been cheating his whole life, and is holier than thou about it all (Zion Wiliams turned down $120K from Kansas to go to Duke - tell me why).
I can't stand Mike K anymore than Izzo, and I want him to feel hurt when he thinks about the way his career ended.
"I don't see how you can really root for MSU."
So you're a Duke lover, got it. (See what I did there? Made the same jump you did...) Nobody here is "rooting for" MSU - we're rooting against Duke.
On the Women's side, Baylor is on upset alert. They are currently down 14 with 4 minutes left in the third quarter. They only scored 4 points in the first quarter and 5 in the third. Baylor is the #2 seed in our region.
Lousiville, on the other hand, whose the 1 seed in our region is up 14-0.
Louisville is going to be a tough out. They totally destroyed us back in December.
...THAT SHIT OUT!!!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMM
the Duke/MSU game has been fun.
Not cheering for either team, but some really big plays with kids stepping up
Looks like Coach K will survive and move on. Still time though.
MSU is in complete collapse mode now.
Izzo looks like he just ate a skunk. Fuck Duke, but that's priceless.
Looked like Duke got 2 free throws for an offensive foul there. Good game though.
Why we've been seeing so much more of the MSU cheerleaders.
Sparty collapse. Ya hate to see it!!
The last 59.4 of this game could take 20 minutes.
Fuck Coach K and Duke
Since I can’t have MSU and Duke both lose I’d be pissed if I was Sparty. Since the 5 minute mark the Officials seem to be calling MSU for breathing on the Dukies. But Duke has been able to push and grab. Coach K getting an assist from the Zebras.
