Michigan St (13-6 4-2 3rd) Vs. Nebraska (11-7 3-3 5th) Game Thread

[GATA]

We finished with 26 total rebounds. Michigan State had 24 offensive rebounds. 

 

And we won!

With 5 minutes left, MSU had 46 points. They've scored 31 since. Sheesh.

To be fair, if MSU didn't start fouling with 2:21, they don't score that many points.  They were at 56, at that point.

 

But they had only two empty possessions in the last five minutes. And that was with a boatload of possessions.

Oh, and "Lourawls Nairn" is way cooler than "Tum Tum" Nairn.

Can you believe it!?!?!?!? Wow. Let's keep this momentum going!

[berlinblackshirts]

Amazing, that we were outrebounded like that and still found a way to win. Wow. Much needed win

They also made it into a boatload of possessions by fouling.

Can we do this same thing against Michigan without Rivers and Pitchford?

[HuskerFever]

I'm done for the night..... GREAT WIN!!!

I thought if it happened in the first half, that Walt would still be able to play against Michigan?  Am I wrong with that?

Of course. We're not arguing. MSU had an incredibly high percentage of successful possessions in the last five minutes. It resulted in 31 points. Is my point invalid in some way?

I am in a cave and missed it...I know David was out, but what is his issue? 

 

As far as Walt, I thought I heard that he would be able to play the next game.  Has there been an official word?

[royalfan]

I have not seen Rosetnthal speak on the Pitchford issue yet, so no. 

[Blackshirt83]

Washut said Pitch would miss the next game.. but he said that soon after it happened. Nothing definitive since.

Rivers tried to make a cut in practice and his knee gave out. MRI megative but could be out 1-2 weeks.

[HB]

Washut is wrong.  It was a flagrant, not a fight.  So he can play against Michigan.  Commissioner already informed Miles of that.  Rivers is likely out 2 more games.

I posted it before Rosenthal, but I realize it's official when it's by him.
