Hey guys. MSU won. That's all

[MiamiSpartan]

I mean seriously, fuck the narrative about Izzo vs Coach K, based mostly on a bunch of meaningless games in November. 20 years ago, it was Izzo's first Final Four. Since then we are 2-2 versus them in meaningful games, and the last time they beat us we were a mere 7 seed. Always overmatched on talent, not on coaching. And now, with our depleted team, and them with "the most unguardable player in the last 20 years" who will transform the sport like Magic Johnson did, we still fucking won.

Fuck coach K whining about inexperience. That's what you get when you rely on one and dones. Same with Cal who was whining about how you never know what you're going to get when you have Freshmen playing. Don't fucking build your entire team around something and then use that samething as an excuse, you piece of shit dickweeds.

Saw a scummer say it best."Coach K sold the soul of a top academic program for a bunch of one-and-dones coasting on talent."

It's the Achilles heel of the one and done area. They're clueless defensively.

I see the bourbon I gave you went to good use.

[Rocinante]

I had 3 different people, my brother and two randoms I rarely talk to but who are not MSU fans text me during the game and tell me the refs were fucking MSU. My brother always says that but the others were clearly seeing what I was seeing.

Yes, indeed! A little fine liquor to help stoke the fire.

If you have Instagram, check out Tony Lippett's recent story.

That was me watching the game yesterday.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

I don't know if it was posted here, but apparently Henry was trying HARD to give a foul on Barrett well before he got his shot off and the refs wouldn't call it. Izzo was fuming. Would like to see a replay of that sequence.

Edit. Here it is and YEP. He sure was. https://youtu.be/eajMud0MV28?t=280

Five star post.

[steveschneider]

Rewatched some of it. That three that Goins jacked up before the shot clock expired was pretty damn close to falling. Dude was feeling it towards the end. Also, saw that he said in the post game that shot that Zion blocked actually helped him out because he knew how much space he needed to get one off.

I saw that tweet last night. I'm not convinced that's what it was. It seems like the wink was a full 3-4 seconds before the pass. Hell, X doesn't even have the ball yet.

Pretty sure Xavier even mentioned it in the press conference though.

Cool, hadn't heard that.

[Rocinante]

I watched the press conference and don’t remember X saying that. Cash said when he got the ball he was fully expecting to be fouled but when he got loose he knew he was going to be able to dribble it out.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Last question. X said he nodded to Cash to go one way and Goins to go another.

I called this shit in-game! I said "X is sending someone deep."

[MiamiSpartan]

But if that was planned, which it seems to be with that look, it was a delayed run. Maybe figuring Duke was expecting the long pass (I think everyone was thinking that). But you usually think that runner goes early so there is time for a plan B. But Cash scrambled near Tillman for 3 seconds like he wanted the short pass, and then streaked down the court. Smart, if that was planned like that. Awesome either way.

I just figured it was a v-cut. Run left to get open right sort of thing.

[Floyd Robertson]

I did not see Plax on my TV yesterday, which is probably my fault, but I think it's damn awesome he bleeds green.

[tw]1112759415675998208[/tw]

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

I saw him a couple of times but they were brief. I figured that was him.

He must be close with Tom and Lupe. They were both hugging him on the floor during the net cutting/pre net cutting celebration.

Also I saw Darqueze and Jeremy Langford in the same friends and family section.

Amazing how many shots missed inside ten feet

[steveschneider]

Michael Avennati claims Zion was bribed by Nike to go to Duke. lol! If this is true and we win it all this could be the best cbb stretch in my life.
