The big question: will Izzo realize this and bury Loyer on the bench when he returns, or put him back in the rotation?

So, I’m sitting here following the game on line. My wife, a Sparty as some of you know won’t watch them this year. They’re not what she is used to. I mean, let’s face it, they’ve been bad. I keep showing her the score but she won’t buy it. So I’m watching “Bull” with her and “The Rookie.” I’m begging her to go up to give our granddaughter a bath. I HAVE to see this!

The more I watch Illinois and Iowa, the more happy I am we have Dickinson. I realize how good Kofi and Luka are, but Dickinson is so well rounded on offense and so solid on defense. Beyond a best case scenario for a freshman big

We aren’t doubling in either game was my point. And fwiw, teams have been successful doubling Garza–he’s a poor passer out of the double–perhaps not Kofi bad.

Illinois has had performances like this during the year. Been saying they are less than the sum of the their parts. Just look at the last 2 games…run Minnesota out of their own gym where they have beaten everybody and now getting run out of MSU’s gym. Can beat anybody, can lose to anybody. Their best is probably better than anybody else’s but they don’t have it every game.

Makes what Michigan has done even more remarkable.

Need a couple Hauser 3’s

Mdemorest4 · February 24, 2021, 1:46am

What on earth just happened

MichBolts · February 24, 2021, 1:46am

Curbelo flopped and got called for a foul in 5 seconds lol

umhoops · February 24, 2021, 1:46am

I know teams try it, it is just an insane strategy given the the shooting on the roster.

Actualelguapo · February 24, 2021, 1:46am

We have a much better coach than them.

Mdemorest4 · February 24, 2021, 1:47am

It looks like there was some seismic activity in East Lansing just now

gtfomycourt · February 24, 2021, 1:47am

It’s almost like the refs want MSU to win

BigBoutros · February 24, 2021, 1:47am

Now that we’ve come this far an MSU collapse would just piss me off.

AC1997 · February 24, 2021, 1:47am

Looked like a travel on Watts too…but Curbelo didn’t need to jump on him. Just guard him.

therealmirman · February 24, 2021, 1:47am

We are all praying Izzo Izzos and puts him back in the rotation.

I tend to find the Izzo is brilliant takes very frustrating on the occasions where the referenced brilliance is just Izzo no longer doing the stupid thing he’s been doing in a given year.

Actualelguapo · February 24, 2021, 1:47am

“Differently entertaining” is the way I would put it.

Mdemorest4 · February 24, 2021, 1:48am

This game has really devolved into a mess

93grad · February 24, 2021, 1:48am

Sparty is Freddy Keiger/Jason Vorheis/ Michael Myers. I feel like they are going to slime their way into a tourney bid.

BigBoutros · February 24, 2021, 1:49am

putting DaMonte Williams on Henry Island seems like a great way to get owned

ucntseemoi · February 24, 2021, 1:49am

Just got out of work and turned on the game. How tf is MSU up 15!?!?!
