Is anyone ready to lay their ass on the line for this Illinois game?

Tum shoots?

Inb4 the babies whine about Tum Tum some more.

Fuck stick.

Should have hired PJ Fleck

Exactly

I'm greatly disappointed.

I think they should call John Groce after the season.

Fire Izzo Scrap the program.

Yep because Tum Tum is awesome...Really?

I'm guessing we will find out Nick Ward had the flu???

He was a QB in high school.

I've found it insecure and pathetic to whine about kids who are playing their asses off for your favorite team.

Tum Tum may not be the greatest, but the dude gives it his all and tries. I'll never shit on him for that. Some of the feces on here love to do it. Sad.

That is mind bottling

Oh well...gotta get one more somewhere

I thought Tum Tum did a great job of almost hitting the rim there

Suddenly Nairn is our go-to guy down the stretch?? You run an isolation play to Nairn?? Because why?? Because he's that good?? Kid has no game!

C'mon Tom. If this is all you got, time to call it a career.

Izzo knew Tum Tum was the only way we were getting a decent look with 3.4 seconds left. It was a prayer but shit I'm not gonna blame this loss on Tum Tum.

My guess about Tum Tum. Izzo is thinking we're getting fouled there with anyone who grabs the ball. Fastest guy needs to break for it to get a half ass shot at it vs a one and one on the line with less then one second left.



That's my guess fuck you guys.

SMH...This was a very winnable game...It now means we HAVE to win Games one of the BIG (We ain't beating Maryland). Just keeping it 100%

Before anyone responds to this fecal matter, please see my signature. Vlad the Vag enjoys ripping on MSU more than supporting them.

I was about to ask where your bitch ass was at.

My post is already validated. Thanks Herbie.

Agree... not sure you draw up the last shot for hin though. Not his fault, bad play.

They shot pretty well and we turned it over too much. Didn't deserve to win, kind of surprising we had a chance at the end.

I don't love Tum getting the last shot there, but I think I get the decision to put the ball in his hands. He's fast enough to get from one end of the court to the other in that amount of time, and he's harder to catch and foul before he gets a shot off.

Honestly, big picture. I did not expect us to win that game. I said somewhere on here I thought we would be Wiscy and lose to UI and Maryland to finish the reg season. The way they shot the ball (and considering the way their bigs shot, neither of whom are very good shooters), I'm pleasantly surprised it wasn't a double digit blowout. I think we will have a chance to pull one out Saturday against a much better Maryland team. Team is growing up.

Horrible last play. Not sure if that was designed or not.

Im always here. Approaching a quarter century.

It is well documented that you are not here when the sports teams are doing well.

I think you and Wags nailed it.

I would want him down on the other end of the floor to receive a possible pass. I didn't see, was he at least trailing Tum?

Vlad who would you replace him with? Can you outline your plan for continuing the NCAA Tourney streak under the next Shaka Smart? Please let us know your 10 point plan.

EDIT: This is in response to Vlad. Was more clear before the thread merge.


That was not an isolation for him at the end. That was getting him the ball on the move and praying he could get a 3 off before he got fouled or the clock ran out. There's not a lot of good options in that sort of situation. What would you have drawn up?

Yet you insult people with higher post counts... hypocrisy?

Vlad wrote:Im always here after losses. Approaching a quarter century.

Pathetic and fixed.

Don't approve of the merge but I get it. Take away the attention whore's focal point. I would have thought it better to leave it out there so we could continue to highlight and expose the idiocy for the next decade.

That's my guess as well

I would've preferred a title edit. Maybe "I think it's time I go"

Actually a good play, they crossed Tum and Bridges. Both Illini guys were focused on Bridges and switched getting a big on Tum.

But right before they inbounded they subbed Cash for Tum. Neither the offense of defensive set changed and I bet you get the same result with Illini focusing on Bridges.

Whatever....get one more

Vlad doesn't bother me so much. At least he owns it. His content is just boring.

So Tum was our only hope on that final play? Is that what I'm hearing? Well that's comforting to know, that the worst PG Izzo has had in his career is our best hope in a situation like that.
