Another note about the game, my wife said she Berke’s whole ass at some point in the second half while he has tucking his shirt in. That guy always has a smile on his face and seems to be the “class clown” of the team if you will. Also dabs up the entire support staff whenever he comes off the court, after immediately getting coaching from Nate. He’s becoming my favorite personality on the team pretty quickly.

Gotta appreciate every game he has left here. Let’s hope it’s about 25 games.

NU - 70 UCLA - 63

I was close enough tonight to hear a bit of the on court chatter. Meah is a great communicator on the defensive end. Thanks again, Greg Gard. Glad you don’t like Essegian’s skill set. Nice to end the game on our largest lead of the night.

We should play in Hawaii every year.

NU - 83 SU - 58

Who you root for in that game? My 4 year old is coming home from school talking about the Vikings. I’ve never had a favorite NFL team and am considering jumping onboard to share in his new fandom.

When people are making billions, with a capital B, off your labor and you get crumbs, it is not equitable. I paid for my school, with loans and their interest, and that in no way makes me think these athletes shouldn’t get paid for their skilled labor while their bodies allow them to do the work. Multi year contracts and conference led regulation are on the way.

I understand there is likely frustration with NIL for these reasons, but the pendulum has been too far one way for too long. It’s going to be a turbulent time for a while, then it will settle down.

I think you’re right, Rollie is on the court without contact or with very little contact several times a game.

This is the only game I know I get to go to this year. Got seats a few rows behind our bench. I’ll make sure it’s loud around me.

From this photo one might be led to believe it was OSU that was giving it to Brice Williams. But he in fact was the one giving it to them.

Brice will be averaging just under 20 a game and be a part of the 50/40/90 club after tonight.

Dribble at it and pass behind the help when it comes.

Out of control gets foul calls suddenly.

Why can they just pull Brice’s hips like this? It is out of the realm of reason.

That guy was literally pounding Williams from behind at mid court. Both hands on both hips.

Approaching I think 15 minutes without an OSU foul.

OSU has been stuck at 6 fouls for like 9 minutes. We should have been living at the line.

Let’s go! Keeping the fire going tonight until this one’s over.

Nah, curses are made to be broken.

Michigan State is 300+ in 3-pt percentage and they didn’t have trouble scoring. We’re also due for some positive shooting regression from a couple guys, Worster and Berke. Also could create a couple more looks for Morgan since he’s capable and just isn’t taking a lot. I’m still in the camp that we’re better than last year. I don’t feel like we’re screwed if one or two guys are off like I did at times last season. We more diverse in how we can attack, it’s just how quick do we find what’s working each night.

NU - 77 OSU - 65

Worster should have been on the line there. This is absurd.
