Michigan State/Louisville ... in-game thread....

[cto]

Go, Spartans. (I have to start these threads by saying something... so I decided yesterday to express a rooting interest in them).

Neither team is final four-caliber, but the committee always screws up the top seeds so here we are. Blows my mind that not only was Nova given a #1 ahead of more deserving Arizona, Gonzaga, and UVa, but that they were the #2 team in the entire tournament.

Go Spartans because I like Izzo and Louisville annoys me

 

[longislandcuse]

Go Louisville because I'd much rather have ACC teams in the F4 than two B1G teams.

 

[Ghost]

Sick of Michigan State. Izzo is starting to cry as much as Roy Williams.

Go 'Cards.

 

[Bill Orange]

Go Sparty!

And on another note, Pete Sala first row right next to the Card bench and Sue Edson anchoring the other end next to the Sparty bench. As it should be.

 

[longislandcuse]

Also, can't stand Trice's face, some guy came on here calling them The Tradition and I can't handle a Final 4 where we hear nonstop about how tall Kentucky is AND how scrappy MSU is.

Agree with Ghost on Izzo, he's been starting to turn me off lately.

 

[obliterata]

Go Cards

 

[WaHoos4Me]

Hard to route for either team, but guess I'm going with Cards... Still bitter about having lost to MSU and really, really sick of the media love for Izzo...

I thought Tum Tum was a cool name until I heard Verne Lundquist say it 500 times.

Now I hate it.

How can you not root for some guy named LouRawls Tum Tum Nairn Junior. It just flows off the tongue.

Go Cards

I can't root for them but I do like that commercial with Barkley, Samuel L Jackson and Spike Lee on how to pronounce Louisville. I also like their hotel one and their Annapolis one as well.

Michigan State is just eating Louisville alive on the offensive end. Harrell making shots is keeping Louisville in this. Unless Louisville cleans up its defense this game could get away real fast. I don't think Louisville can continue playing this well on offense.

Disagree. I think MSU broken play 3 pointers are keeping them in the game.

 

[NateW]

love trice's game

 

[longislandcuse]

Seems to be the defensive struggle we all expected in this game.

 

[WaHoos4Me]

This game is just hard to get interested in right now for me... Not sure if it's the announcing, the teams, or the actual start of game time...

I view the B1G as the ACC's main competition for 2nd place to the SEC until either conference has some football teams step up besides FSU and OSU. I do not want anyone to doubt the dominance of ACC basketball. The SEC has football and the ACC has Basketball. That gives us the edge over the B1G in my opinion.

 

[Alsacs]

Can that woman screaming like a banshee during every Louisville FT please stop.

 

[Ghost]

Did Rozier just get obliterated with a no call?

Wow. Officiating in college - it's always going to mystify me.

And on the replay - yes, yes he was obliterated.

 

[longislandcuse]

Why do college teams refuse to go 2 for 1? That's a staple of the NBA.

 

[WaHoos4Me]

that's a pretty impressive streak... 94 consecutive wins when leading by 6 or more at half...

 

[Ghost]

I don't know - was it Triche or Jardine that was fantastic at that? I remember those specific teams used to always be on point with going for the 2 for 1 (maybe both were).

 

[RandygoCuse]

Go cards- if they win and Duke wins, I'll have all four of my final four

 

[Cuse House]

Lots of us orange fans here today. Heard some other teams fans comment on that. We have a good basketball community here!
