wvu80 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Purdue has multiple 7-footers, MSU has none. Nonetheless, I like Sparty's chances tonight in West Lafayette. I'd like to watch that on ESPN, but ESPN2 has got #10 WVU vs #6 Kansas at the 7:00pm time slot. MSU got 1 vote for the number 1 spot this week. It's a great year for competitive college basketball as SIX teams got votes this week for # 1.

I'll record the WVU game on ESPN2 while watching the MSU game on ESPN. During timeouts and commercials, I'll toggle back to ESPN2 to watch the WVU game.

wvu80 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Kansas at home too strong for my Mountaineers. Both teams playing at a high intensity level, especially on defense. No. 8 Michigan State at No. 18 Purdue? Close with a minute to go. Remember Spartans, it's not a comeback unless you win.

Ceptorman Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yea that MSU/Purdue game was a good one. Valentine is an incredible ball handler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) The Spartans came back from down 18 to go up by 4 only to lose in overtime. As bad as the defeat was for MSU, a loss at home after leading by 18, would have been worse for Purdue.

DizRotus Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Spartans need to win out to have any chance at a share of regular season B1G title. Even then, they need more help like the Gopher's defeat of the Terps. This forum's Tarheel and wvu80 also have teams with shots at winning it all. Soon March Madness will be upon us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm still amazed Indiana is leading, their team is young and inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Michigan State if friggin' unbelievable shooting the 3-ball! What are they, up somewhere around 45-46%? I know Ohio State is down this year, but Sparty just toyed with them on Buckeye's home court. The desirable number in 2-point shots is 50%. You get the same amount of points if you can shoot 3-pointers at 38%. Any team that can shoot 75% from the line, hit field goals at 50% and three's at 38% can beat or at least stay with just about anybody. +++ Spartans are currently ranked #6. Their ranking has been up and down all season like practically everybody else, but It wouldn't surprise me to see them grab a #1 seed for the Big Dance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's true. There are no "great" college basketball teams this year. There are however, a bunch of very good teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Should be interesting. I'm hoping we have two teams near me in the tournament this year. Both UAB and Alabama could be in it this time. As far as winning it all? I have no idea. Seems there are at least a dozen teams with a shot at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I'd say approximately 2 dozen legitimate contenders. This is when Izzo shines. He and his staff do as good a job as anyone getting ready to play the next unfamiliar opponent on tournament short turnaround. Last year it was Izzo's 7th Final Four team. This year's team is better than last year's team. It should be exciting. May the best teams advance.

Ceptorman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yea some programs just shine when it comes to big games, and Izzo seams to get his players ready. I'm glad there isn't a dominate team this year, makes picking a winner more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Professor Xavier #5 just beat #1 Villanova 90-83 to try to grab a #1 regional seed. You've got to rank the X-men over the V-men now, don't you? +++ #8 Iowa and #9 Arizona lost tonight as well.
