HURG ... Yes .... Big day for the Big 10 and a VERY big day for Michigan State!
I'll come straight out and say I did not expect to win this game based on our play thus far. Clearly, Suton (as much i dislike him personally) was as much a missing piece as advertised. Dude was a stud today. I did not think we could bring the defensive intensity for 40 minutes like we did. Say what you want about Travis Walton and his offensive struggles or turnovers at times - that dude made it his mission to be in Abrams back pocket the entire game, which lead to Abrams only getting 8 points .... Thats sick! My performance of the day came from Durrell Summers. He was everywhere and just tore it up! Gutsy, gutsy performance by him.
Rebounding and FT shooting are clear concerns. But we showed some stones and poise to overcome those things.

MSU is absolutely killing Minnesota in the 2nd half! They have been very impressive on defense and in transition. I think it was Summers who had an absolutely monstrous dunk in transition

Well shoot ... The game tonight sucked. Flat out. I was able be there and witnessed it all first hand. It's a hard one to excuse. People want to say it was because Raymar has been sick, him being sick didnt have anything to do with Chris Allen having 8 turnovers and going 1-12 from the field.
I suggested that the team wasn't well prepared for the zone after the Penn State and getting scolded by some other State fans they said that only a fool would think that Izzo's kids would be unprepared. Well guess what, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE AGAINST THE ZONE TONIGHT, COMPLETELY UNPREPARED...AGAIN!
It looked like we were smacking a beach ball back and forth outside the arc. The guard play was awful and none of the big men showed up. I love Izzo, but he was outcoached tonight by somebody I thought was the worst coach in the Big 10
With the last 3 games, MSU is averaging 17 turnovers ... AWESOME!!!!

I saw the highlights......and Northwestern was on fire. They were shooting near 30 footers and Kevin Coble was hitting turn around jumpers like MJ.
Could Northwestern have finally turned the corner?

I didnt see any highlights, so I dont know if you saw, but with like ... 4 minutes to go, we were doing a great job on defense, then with 3 seconds on the shot clock they would (literally) would just THROW UP A SHOT from like ... 8 yards behind the arc ... it was just a dagger. They just HURT.
And yes Coble was unreal last night. He was chucking up anything and it was going down ... geez.
One of the most disappointing/frustrating things to watch was the abysmal clock management from out guards. With 1 minute left, you no longer have the luxury of being picky about your shot selection. There were two posessions where our guards were just holding the ball at the top of the key ... Good lord ... you need to move the ball! You can wait for a half court set to develop ... GO!!!
It was a tough loss, they played very well, we did not.

Could Northwestern have finally turned the corner? They are only losing 1 guy from this years roster for next year ... They are going to be pretty good next year as well

When they actually make a NCAA Tournament, I will pay attention to Northwestern basketball. So far they have not so...
