• killer_ewok

  

  Morgan out of the game with 4 fouls almost midway through the 2nd half and Butler is already in the bonus.

  Something tells me that business is gonna pick up on the Duke-WVU thread. LOL

  ^^^^Right!

  Michigan State has plenty of talented players, but not much ball handling. Butler plays good defense, and without Lucas, Michigan State doesn't have a guy who can create off the dribble. I figured the injury would finally come back to hurt them.

  I wish Bill Packer was doing this game. Oh wait.......no I don't

  MSU has no dominant offensive players.

  Notice people are still posting on the "OSU next season" thread as this game goes on.
  
  Too many people operate in tunnel vision... OSU isn't in so they can't enjoy it, which is sad.

  Butler has not allowed an opponent to score more than 59 points in this NCAA tournament.
  
  I think Michigan State, barring an offensive explosion of sorts in the last 8 minutes of this game, is going to be added to that list. Impressive.

  Well, that is just the SEC idiots stroking each other because they don't have anyone left playing, and some Buckeye fans who fit your description. Typical, unintelligible shit.

  All jumpers for Sparty, this one's over.

  Butler's suffocating defense impressed the shit out of me when they beat my team (Syracuse). Man, those kids can D up.

  Only a 4 point game with about 5 to go.
• killer_ewok

  

  Butler leads 47-43 with 4:19 to go.

  Butler plays outstanding defense. This looks like a Big Ten game, and Butler is really a Big Ten type of team.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  I don't think Michigan State will score 47 by the end of the game, so Butler's lead is pretty safe.

  You hear Clark say the first team to score the next field goal wins. Lets see if he is right.
• killer_ewok

  

  Butler leads 47-44 with 2:36 to go. Butler hasn't made a shot in 10 minutes. With Mack out of the game with muscle spasms.....somebody is going to have to step up at the offensive end. If not Hayward......then who?
• killer_ewok

  

  50-46 Butler with 1:18 to go. Butler finally gets a bucket via Hayward.
• killer_ewok

  

  50-47 Butler with 56.3 to go. Michigan State headed to the line for a 1 and 1. Here comes Mack.
• killer_ewok

  

  50-49 Butler. MSU ball with 23 ticks left. Shot clock is off. Wow.
• killer_ewok

  

  Can the Spartans pull out another dramatic victory? Stay tuned.
