  glad to see sparty got their shit together

  Dawson continuing to play like shit, but Harris is a fricking stud !!!

  Sparty D coming alive in a big way to end the half.
• Midstate01

  

  Msu was down 12-2 and played pretty poorly till the last 8 minutes or so. They could easily be up 10.

  Raft is an amazing broadcaster really. Just described that last play with 1 word sentences lol.

  Unlikely that Michigan State sustains 40% shooting from beyond the arc in the second half. UConn just needs to calm down and they'll be in good shape with the momentum of the crowd on their side moving forward.

  Pretty fun half to watch. I'm pulling for Sparty but enjoy watching Ollie's gang. I have 35 tourney entries at school and the worst looking one had UConn winning it all and beating UK in the finals. This just cannot happen.
  
  Edit.....I don't have 35, I'm running the tourney pool and there were 35 entries.

  Damn, Kenny, I'm impressed-and with a suit on to boot!

  When did you start hating MSU and Izzo? I havent really been on since Friday afternoon lol.
  
  Also, UCONN struggles to score (at least this season says that), I would expect it to be a grind out possession by possession game the last 8 minutes. Both these teams can D you up, MSU a little better imo.

  The bias fan in me thought he should have been the POY.

  Thanks for the edit I was about to lose it.

  It needed to be said again. Izzo didnt hear us the first 8 times.
  
  Apparently that last lapse of concentration was enough to finally get the hook lol

  Lol. I just get tired of the Izzo adulation. He's a great coach, but not a God of the Game. As much success as Izzo has enjoyed at MSU, he's only got one title (15 years ago). I simply want to see more to warrant the superstar status. Note: I don't have a problem with Izzo himself. He is a humble guy. My problem is with the "he can do no wrong" praise he receives. He's come up short a lot, too.
  
  Me cheering for UConn is somewhat odd since I hated Jim Calhoun and his teams with my entire heart for years, but I like Kevin Ollie and Shabazz Napier.

  Payne making outside shots...climbing up the draft board. Could be a lottery pick IMO

  Gotcha. Although, if he wins another (HUGE if, I know). He will be in very small company of those with multiple titles.

  That's always been the defining line.

  I was ridiculed earlier this season for saying he should be a top 5 pick. Top 5, no. But I think he's definitely a top 13 pick.
• wildcats20

  

  That's a foul on Harris.
