NCAA Tournament

[panda]

Nowell is absolutely carving up the Spartan defense so far.....7 assists already for the K St PG

This doesn't look like the Michigan State defense I saw on Sunday...they look slow, not getting in passing lanes for deflections

What happened to Izzo in march? The masterful gameplan to keep a pass first point guard out of the lane and make Kolek uncomfortable spreading the floor ?

[Uncle Rico]

Izzo is so mad, he's not sure if he'll blame cell phones or instaphoto at half

[Judge Smails]

K-State good

He was just waiting until halftime to make those adjustments cuz he's so smart and all of that.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.....Nowell with 10 dimes?

As you know Panda I never bought that.  MSU can still win but I don't get the Izzo comments at all.

UConn has gone plaid

[MuggsyB]

Meanwhile.....UCONN is unloading on Ark.  Wow. 

[GoldenEagles03]

UConn has gone plaid

Thought Ark would put up a better fight.

Gonzaga/UConn would be an interesting matchup.  Same with UCLA but Timme/Sanogo would be cool.

[NickelDimer]

Such a shame we sh*t the bed. Crazy to think we're not in this group of 16

[BM1090]

Bet on UConn and KSU. UConn making it look easy so far but it's early.

KSU-MSU has been a ton of fun. If either team cools off the other probably wins. Lots of good looks both ways.

Leaning UCLA. No feel on the Tenn/FAU game but I guess I'd lean Tennessee.

[Johnny B]

Uconn can easily win it all. They are damn good when in form. Some weird mid season slumps made them a 4 seed

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

UConn taking Arkansas to the woodshed.

[Silent Verbal]

Meanwhile.....UCONN is unloading on Ark.  Wow.

They have everything you need to make a deep run.  Even though MU won the conference, I think UCONN was the better team this year.  Our game against them at MSG was the best game we played all year and probably skewed all of our expectations when it came to the NCAA tournament.  Arkansas doesn't look like they have a chance tonight.

[mugrad_89]

Nowell making Izzo's defense look very ordinary.

[wisblue]

Nowell making Izzo's defense look very ordinary.

And now he's injured.

The key to MSU's NCAA success.

Great strategy adjustment from Izzo!

[Daniel]

Great strategy adjustment from Izzo!

It does make a difference for sure.   Yeah.  Whew.  Was unfortunate for us

[MuggsyB]

Not a lot of defense in the KSU/MSU game. 

[Dish]

Yeah, for those dying on the MSU defense beat Marquette hill, Nowell and K-State's performance tonight is disputing that.

Hard to believe Kolek turned in the performance he did last Sunday.

Very hard to believe

[i71_dawg]

Hurley with a nice Big East hat tip....said they've been really good all year "against non-conference" foes

[Daniel]

Yeah, for those dying on the MSU defense beat Marquette hill, Nowell and K-State's performance tonight is disputing that.

Hard to believe Kolek turned in the performance he did last Sunday.

Whether Kolek wants to use hand as an excuse or not, clearly he was injured. 

[MuggsyB]

Both teams are scoring easily in the MSU/KSU game.
