Doesn't change the fact that this was a great season.  We won a bunch of games this year that could have gone either way.  This one went against us.  Sure, we didn't play our best, but neither did Michigan State and if they had we would have lost by 20.  One thing that stands out to me though is that this time of year a lot of games really turn into a grind and both teams struggle to score.  The bigger and more physical teams can just rebound and power through that.  We're not built that way.

Ben Gold’s parents don’t even think he could be an All-American next year and it has nothing to do with him not being an American

Dude..Rico was being sarcastic...per usual.  The funny thing is, is that Gold probably has the highest ceiling on this team, and probably was underutilized this year.  If Ben stays at MU 4 years, I fee quite confident he will be an All-Big East player and be on some draft boards.

I ain’t being sarcastic on this one.  Hyperbolic?  Yes, but you see it with him. Fine, All-American is a stretch but he’s going to take a monster leap if he’s back

Yes it was a great season.  Today doesn’t take away one bit from that. 

But we earned a two seed.  First time ever.   And we didn’t make it out of first weekend. That is a golden opportunity lost.  And that hurts big time.  Hopefully we’ll get another chance, but don’t take opportunity we had today for granted like it’ll be no problem to be back again.

I agree...but the All-American definitely was hyperbolic.  But the kid has a big upside for sure.

I thought OMax was SOTG if MU won.

Completely agree. Played his ass off from start to finish.

Kolek was the difference today. He was a disaster. So weird. Nothing to do with his hand. Amazing player. Amazing kid. Amazingly awful game at the worst possible time

When those who claim to know ball say we are going to beat MSU by 10+……..I questioned how much they know ball.

Boy, I wasn't sure but since you definitively said so, I guess it must be true.

Take away the unforced turnovers and we would have.  But unfortunately we can’t do that.

The game was lost in that stretch where we got like 8 consecutive stops but proceeded to self-destruct with unconscionable turns combined with 3 or 4 wide open missed looks.  We had all of the momentum and these were self-inflicted turns.  This is going to sting for awhile.  Losing always sucks but when you beat yourself that's incredibly frustrating to put it mildly.  Phenomenal year but we really threw away a tremendous opportunity.
At that moment I was really lamenting the fact that we didn’t have anyone to drive to the rim strong or step in 3’ and RAK a midrange just to stem the tide.

MU should have won by 10.  mSU was mediocre tonight, MU was just flat out bad.

I was at the game in 1971 vs tOSU where #14 fouled out. Different circumstances, certainly, but this loss sucks as much major ass as that game. Both teams had FF written all over them. As its said, "the first cut is the deepest," aina?

Final Four

I can assure you that I never looked for credit for wins and obviously I rub you the wrong way. You outed me several times for my optimism this season, that is fine.

I have been wrong many times on scoop and likely will many more times. That said, not going to apologize for posting my opinions.

It is funny that after a disappointing end of a great season that is what you wanted to say.

Well said…..and #1 in our regional goes down…..oncoming Duke goes down…..No dominant team, etc. that is what really hurts.
