By this logic, Larry Bird was not a true basketball player either. Shields turned out to be a better player than most fans thought he would be. Underrated in my opinion.

I'm currently in Japan and I was told that the NU-PU game was rebroadcast here. I don't know if it was nationwide or not, but it was apparently a big deal, obviously due to KT. Glad everyone back home got to enjoy a great win. GBR!

Yup.  I dislike it because you are not going to play your younger guys or your bench as much for fear of not winning the game by a certain amount.  Kids will not get valuable experience.

He took 12 shots (only the third most) and is one of our best shooters. I am good with him taking a lot of shots.

What if they stole the inbounds pass and hit a 3, maybe burning 5 seconds? There down 4. Pressure us again into another turnover and score again and it's a one possession game with maybe 8-10 seconds left. We've all seen crazy stuff like this happen over the years so again, I was stunned when he just told his players to back off with so much time on the clock. Glad he did, but wasn't something I was expecting. I'm pretty sure if the situation was reversed and we were down seven and let the clock run out with 22 seconds left, fans would have been pissed. On to K-State.

It was a school night 

I get it, especially when the outcome is no longer in doubt, but that wasn't the case here. If I'm a player for MSU, I'm like Coach, WTF??

Very good win against a talented team with solid contributions from most who played. Glad that Diop and Rice played meaningful minutes and I hope that HCFH continues to find ways to get them on the court.
 
I am a little surprised that there hasn't been more made of Izzo's decision to not try to extend the game with a 7 point deficit with just over 20 seconds on the clock. I was stunned he did this as there was plenty of time to try for a steal and at a minimum put us at the line at least one more time if they didn't force a turnover. Was rather strange IMO.

Yeah but then every once in a while you get one of these:

Can't take the lid off when you're sitting on the bench.

Not his fault. Just doing what he's been asked to do.

OK, I'm just going to throw this out there. Bash me if you want.
 
I'm thinking maybe fame has gone to Keisei's head a little bit. Or something.
 
Listen, you might be referred to as "The Japanese Steph Curry" but you're not actually Steph Curry and you're not going to get those calls.
 
So this is the scenario: Keisei foolishly (some might say "selfishly") dribbles into trouble, gets stripped clean, and immediately looks to the refs and shrugs his shoulders like he should have gotten a call.
 
Keisei, quit whining to the refs and just get back on D.
 
This behavior has been going on for awhile now. When he rolled his ankle, he got up and limped down court gesturing at the officials like he was more mad about the no-call than in pain from getting hurt.
 
Keisei, quit acting like a prima donna. Go back to being the lovable sharpshooter who played like it was just a joy to be on the floor. We liked that guy a lot.

Extremely disappointed. Our players are locked in to the hype and the emotion of the game. But we're absolutely not locked in to what it'd take to play effective winning basketball on either end of the court. We have players recklessly flying around the court on defense, yet we get caught sleeping and simply not guarding one of the best shooters in the country on numerous possessions. On ball defense is soft and porous, reminiscent of Hoiberg's first couple years. Transition defense is very poor. Getting outrebounded. Offensively we have individuals just doing their own thing on the majority of possessions. We're showing a lot of immaturity in this game. Hopefully we learn a lot from this going forward. 

Why is wilcher on Schiemann seems like a terrible matchup for us defensively

Mast was answering a question regarding Nebraska's depth and he mentioned that Eli could have a big game sometime this season. Basically saying that there are guys that haven't been playing as much lately that are capable of having a big impact.
