  LOL quit being butt hurt, I'm just realistic unlike you. One minute this team is trash to you, the next they are awesome. Get fucking real dude, I'm the idiot? You don't even know what you're looking at, can't make your mind up from one minute to the next. Like I said, biggest over reactor on this site.

  That's why Izzo is such a great coach. Matta refuses to use his bench so Mich St is going to push, push, push.

  Where did I say this team is awesome. I'm not butt hurt one bit. The beginning of the year this team was awesome but since then they have laid an egg. They have no fire and need to show some fight. You are right I don't know what I am looking at! I don't know if this is defense or what. Pretty sure I have seen 10 year olds play with more fire.

  In my opinion, I have to say Craft is overrated. Not saying he is good. I glad we got him. Just as the world means Over-Rated. I don't look at him as one of the better point guards in the country. There more to the position than defense and hustle plays.

  Yeah, since when does Michigan State play like the Showtime Lakers? Tom must have had some LSD last night.

  And to think when Thad went to the national championship game, he went 9 deep. I'm going to repost what I said after the Wisconsin game.

  You are the biggest flip flopper on this site, you do the same thing with Buckeye football. Many people have called you out on it before so I'm not the only one. It's a sport, one team wins and one team loses, stop overreacting to everything every time things don't go our way, it's annoying as shit!

  I think Craft played better last year. But that is what you get when you lose Lighty and Diebler.

  Here is what I said after the Wisconsin game.
  
  Sometimes I wonder did Thad forget what got him to the National Championship game in 2007? Thad use to go very deep with his bench. The 2005-06 season you had guys like Ron Lewis, Ivan Harris, Matt Terwilliger, and Sylvester Mayes coming off a bench for a team that won the Big Ten outright and didn't have a single NBA player on it. The next season, when Oden and company came, he went an average of 9 deep again with Othello Hunter, Daequan Cook, David Lighty, and Terwilliger that 2007 season.
  
  I think many wonder why lately Thad has gone to a shorter bench. Here is my guess. It goes back to the 2009-10 season when we had Evan Turner. Up until then Thad still used his bench a lot but only this time we didn't have the same quality players. That year we went to a very good West Virginia team (Made the Final Four) and we led throughout the game but lost the lead late. Some of the guys off the bench made some errors that helped West Virginia get back into it.
  
  The next game we had Minnesota at home. And we ended up destroying them. But Thad only played 6 players. The starting 5 and Kyle Madsen. With the success of that we went with a 6 man rotation pretty much the rest of year. And since then it appears he been stuck on it. But I wish he knew that we no longer have to do that anymore. We don't have The P.J. Hills, Jermie Simmons, and Kyle Madsens anymore. Now the bench consist of 2 Mcdonalds All-Americans and a recruit who was once ranked the #1 high school player in the entire country (Laquinton Ross). Even J.D. Weatherspoon and Jordan Sibert could be starting at numerous other D1 schools. Can someone tell me if Matt Terwilliger, Kyle Madsen, P.J. Hill, Othello Hunter, B.J. Mullens, and Jermie Simmons is better than what we have on the bench now? And how can we develop all americans if they aren't getting real game actions? Just food for thought. I think it's time for Thad to get back to what brought him success. If it's not broke, then don't fix it.

  Yes, I'm just not blind like the rest of you. We have been a bit disappointing but again, we play in the toughest conference in the country. I'm not going to act like the world is coming to an end because we get outplayed.
• mallymal614

  LET'S GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Tiger2003

  

  Pretty nice run for the Bucks to get it to 5. Playing much better defense. Showing some fire.
• robj55

  

  OMG it's a 5 point game, we are playing great now!!! lol

  A bit disappointing? It has been real disappointing.

  Look at who we are playing man, we are on the road against a top 5 team in the country, it's not going to be easy or look pretty. This is Big 10 basketball after all.

  So you have been watching them the whole year correct? They were dominating in the beginning of the year, and all of the sudden in the 2nd half of the season they have played down to their opponent. That's the whole point we are making. We went from being a championship contender, to a sweet sixteen exit and that is why us fans are pissed. The fire is gone from this team when it comes to that explosive offense and shut down defense. We aren't freaking out, we are just being realist. Not surprised that a bandwagon lebron fan can't see that LOL
• Tiger2003

  

  Why do continue to give Buford that last shot.
• mallymal614

  That Buford missed after the buzzer to end the half reminded me so much of the shot he took against Kentucky to end the game.

  Ok. What's you excuse for how we played Sparty at home, Wisconsin at home and Illinois on the road?
  
  Never mind I know I know. Big 10 basketball duh!
