UCONN/MSU

[longislandcuse]

MSG can make strange things happen..

MSU could be in for a dogfight.

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Uconn off to a fast start. Has MSG rocking

 

[ROCuse]

Seeing UConn highlights from Friday night with "New York Groove" played over them was like a punch in the gut.

 

[gilardino]

Cuse can only blame themselves. Horrible end to the season​

 

[longislandcuse]

Not going to get annoyed by it. We had a cakewalk in front of us to the Elite 8 and fell on our face but man, what a gift of a path UCONN was given.

Iowa St- In MSG, missing their best player.

Luck is certainly on their side

 

[TheOkieOrangeman]

Anyone but UConn

 

[dinno28]

MSU slowly getting back into the game

 

[gilardino]

3 things you need in the tourney. 1)you need to be good. 2) you ned to be healthy. 3) you need to be lucky

 

[Orangezoo]

And you need to have good guard play.

 

[PauliePeppas]

MSU will win

 

[doc05]

This is difficult to watch.

Napier on that Kemba voodoo

 

[Cramz]

Amazing that Sparty could be leading despite the "bickering!"

Eh a bit of an overstatement. Nova is still a tough second round opponent and msu is very talented. Theyll have earned it if they win today.

I think we would've beat Nova had we played them instead of Dayton.

They were not good. Beat Kansas early in the year then played no one aside from getting smashed by Syracuse and Creighton.

And you need to have good guard play.

I agree with this. Have always agreed with this. Stated that with Scoop as the point guard that Syracuse wouldn't ever go very far and they didn't. Having Ennis this year was nice, but the 2 spot was not held by anyone who could drive to the bucket and score the ball like Napier. I have said in other threads that recruiting long athletes who do not have the knack to score will not succeed in the NCAA tournament and as we have seen they haven't.

The last time Syracuse won they had quite possibly the best scorer in the NBA on their team. Watching videos of Joseph and Patterson this year they both look like they can slash to the hoop. Hopefully, next years team will have players who can put the ball on the floor and bring it to the hoop.

Not sure about dayton over nova. Anyways, we cant make this argument. We gave up the east this year. Our draw in the tournament was cake. We had a ton of talent and got very little out of it.

 

[kirbivore]

Throw the damn towel!

 

[gilardino]

Again. No one to blame but ourselves

 

[PauliePeppas]

Here comes the flagrant...

 

[longislandcuse]

Another example of fantastic officiating.

 

[doc05]

MState is blowing it with stupidity.

 

[longislandcuse]

MSU seems like they're always arguing or glaring at each other, all game.

Agreed they look totally poised after that rough patch.
