That would be two signature wins cheers

In as an 8 seed (gotta beat Pur, Wis or MD) and beat Duke.

by Ted Brogan 2017-02-08, 00:33

Bets are still open.

On pace for an 18-13 (10-8) record with no big wins. Might need a Kiebler exclamation point type of game in the BTT.

Nordic brings up a good point would we rather miss the tourney to give izzo the kick in the ass he obviously needs ?

If he needs that to get it together we're fucked anyway.

Exactly. Pretty sure he realizes it whether we are 10 seed or miss the tourney. His team couldn't defend the pick and roll or fake pick and roll for 40 minutes last night. The oldest and simplest play in basketball. Dribble drive and help defense was a disaster too.

by **InTenSity** 2017-02-08, 09:12

We're in.

Yes, but just barely.

After last night I'm in about the same place - might take 2 wins in the BTT to get them in.

MSU has always been good at using a brutal loss as a rallying point. Next couple games will tell us a lot, but I still think we squeak in. Possibly even fly under the radar to a Sweet 16 bid.

by Steve81 2017-02-08, 14:32

Yes, what the hell. I am optimistic. The freshmen are still getting better despite last night.

In 10 seed.

by **The_Dude** 2017-02-21, 13:36

No.

MSU either need to go 3-1 to finish the season or win two games in the BTT and have the second win be against Wisky/PU/Mary.

The frosh have hit the wall. Stick a fork in em. Hope im wrong, but we have been waiting the entire season for this team to figure it out. They have not. This team isn't going to all of a sudden go an entire half without a turnover in a big game like Wisconsin can.

I am seeing analytics guys putting us at a 58% chance with a final record of 18-13. That being said using implied probability odds would be like -140isshhhhh

73% chance now, still a projected 18-13 regular season. Thats -270 for the gamblurs

I said a while ago that I don't think they get in. But if they don't I won't be like some morons here and brag about how right I was.

by **InTenSity** 2017-02-21, 15:15

You guys know we have a better chance of getting in, even with 14 losses than another team that rarely gets in, even if they only ahve 12 losses. MSU has some clout with the committee, the only thing I'd be worried about, honestly is Hollis being the one who doesn't want MSU in, but he can't be in the room when the team is discussed. We may get in as one of the first four or whatever those games are called, but MSU will probably get in, unless they lose out for the year.

No one is going to brag about anything.

Just people giving their opinions.

This late into the season, the team is who they are. Not good, like at all. We aren't going to magically find front court players or stop turning the ball over.

Very tough break for Carter and Schilling to miss the season. The guard play isn't consistent enough to make up for the lack of depth inside the paint.

I'd love to be wrong. :)
