Offical NCAA Tournament thread

[Shooter McGavin]

Michigan St has a small starting lineup

[MuggsyB]

We should have beaten UCLA. 

[BM1090]

We should have beaten UCLA.

They are missing some guys now that they had when we played them.

[MUeng]

It's not just you. Kenny and Charles don't do any homework.

that's what's great about them. Just impromptu analysis and memes when going to commercial. I enjoy those dudes

[Mr. Nielsen]

Maybe it's me but I think EJ, Kenny, and Charles add nothing to the tournament.  They're great for the NBA but I honestly don't get it and haven't for many years.  The CBSSN people are for the most part excellent.

Adding Andy Katz with them has been solid.

[MuggsyB]

I didn't know that but we folded to close the show.  Early on it looks to. me that Mich St. should win this one.  I hope I'm wrong.

I'm a huge fan of them for NBA. Just don't think there's any reason to have them do the tournament.

My sentiments exactly.

[MuggsyB]

Good start for Joey.  He'll probably have 20 tonight just to cause us more misery. 

[Dish]

Drake / Wichita State finish was a thriller.

I think you missed what I did there.

[MuggsyB]

Izzo just grabbed a player's  jersey.  Uh-Oh?

[MU82]

Izzo just grabbed a player's  jersey.  Uh-Oh?

First he grabbed the kid's arm and then the jersey.

It wasn't that bad ... but it was unnecessary.

Izzo might end up being one of those coaches who doesn't age well. Most athletes don't respond that well to in-your-face coaches any more.

Or maybe Izzo will be one of the few who is immune to criticism for this stuff.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Nothing to see here.

Izzo's teams play with FIRE in March, I'll give him that.

Mac Etienne looked smaller than I expected, and did virtually nothing in the few minutes he saw action.

[MuggsyB]

In a rational world?  Yes.  But you just never know today.

He's a remendous coach.   There's no way to argue otherwise.

[MuggsyB]

Izzo also had his mask basically off while he was screaming at the kid.
Ramifications?

[Warrior_2002]

Lame they are even making a deal out of that whole exchange.  Not egregious at all and bet the player is completely fine with it.  Fire is good this time of year.

Agreed.  But who really knows how to gauge public outcry?

Michigan State 51 UCLA 45 On TBS

[rocky_warrior]

Apparently there are no defensive fouls to these refs.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Joey not getting many minutes in the 2nd Half.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Apparently there are no defensive fouls to these refs.

Driscoll has a double T in his bag yet.

[MuggsyB]

Jaquez has been fantastic in this game.  But he's getting no help.

[MuggsyB]

Izzo benched Joey again to close the game.  I don't expect him back in East Lansing.
