Was always a fan of Izzo because of his friendship with Miles

Love Izzo. One of the thing sI love about this league are the coaches. But Izzo tops them all. 

[Red Don]

Always liked Tom Izzo, he has class.  And his teams have class.  Liked Bo Ryan too; and his teams.  I'll never forget how Frank Kaminsky described how much fun the "No Sit Sunday" game was at PBA; "and we Lost that one," he'd say!

Couple late night thoughts before the game 

 

-this needs to be a good Andre game. Bingham is much more athletic and is among the leaders in the big ten in blocked shots. See how wake fares for a while, then switch to Andre. They play marble as the backup, which is where Walker can take advantage. 

-i said it in the post game OSU thread, Hauser isn't a matchup for lat with how often Hauser relocates on the perimeter. So give Keon a shot or CJ. 

-gabe brown is currently their leading scorer and he gets his by driving or shooting from 3 primarily. 

 

I don't have high expectations for this game other than be competitive and play defense. Continuing to force turnovers will also help here. 

[Nighthawk]

Hopefully Lat sees as little play time as possible...especially if it's a close game like the last one.  Do not have him on the floor the last few minutes of regulation time unless we have a very sizable lead or they are destroying us.  Sorry, not a fan of his 

[colhusker]

I will say I will not watch and yet, come game time I will turn it on and suffer.

2014 game at the Breslin Center currently airing on BTN. Holy hell did Walter Pitchford have himself a day that day

I know No Sit Sunday was the huge game of that season, but winning at MSU was the win they had to have to turn the head of the selection committee.

 

My favorite play from that game - and one of my favorite of all time - was early in the game when the students started counting down the shot clock early and Rivers got fooled and chucked it up from the corner for 3 and hit it. Thought that was a pretty good omen.

It pretty much started the feeling of “we can’t lose” that I had for every game after that.  And if I was feeling invincible, you know the players were really feeling it!

[throwback]

So I think what we're saying is if Walker chucks up a 3 from the corner and hits it tonight early in the game while the students count down the shot clock incorrectly, we're making a run to the NCAAs.

2/2 on 3’s!

Lat mayen has been in for 2:10 and has given up five points already. Great to see us shooting well though

What about the other guys giving up wide open shots?

 

[Crush78]

Mayan passes up corner 3 and dribbles into a turnover. Hiw many times has he done that? So frustrating.

I’m just frustrated with him hearing how good of a shooter is and him passing up shots. Then on the other end not being able to rebound or close out on shooters. Not saying the others are perfect I just feel like having him out there for as much as he plays he should be able to provide something.

Same can be said about the whole team right?

I feel like others on the team provide at least something positive whether it’s shooting, playmaking or defense I don’t feel like that brings that much to the table for his minutes.
