I guess we can run a little, eh, Digger? Raymar Morgan: 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. Who’s the bozo that called him a “role player”? Game recap after I get some sleep. For now, more of The Dunk:

MSU dismantles Louisville 64-52 in a 56-possession game to advance to the Final Four. StatSheet box score. After a performance as thoroughly impressive as this one, it’s hard to know where to start. So let’s start with what each of the eight guys who played double-digit minutes today contributed: Goran Suton: 19 points on 3-5 [...]

Going into NCAA Tournament play, our starting lineup looks like it may finally be completely healthy. Kalin Lucas, Travis Walton, Raymar Morgan, Delvon Roe, and Goran Suton should all be able to play 25-30 minutes per game at near 100%. (Roe is perhaps the exception to this statement, but he’s certainly as ready to contribute [...]

The Spartans bury the Gophers 76-47 in a 65-possession game. StatSheet box score. A very impressive start to the new home-court winning streak, to say the least. MSU did everything we thought they needed to do, and they did it in abundance: Knocked down perimeters shots (7-12 on 3-pointers). Controlled both the offensive and defensive [...]

MSU beats down Iowa 71-56 in a 62-possession game (a regular track meet by Hawkeye standards). StatSheet box score. This one played out according to plan–MSU’s plan, that is. We dominated on the boards (although that edge faded some in the second half), forced Iowa to take a lot of tough 3-point shots (8/26=30.8%), and [...]

MSU accelerates past Ohio State 78-67 in a 60-possession game. Statsheet box score. This was, of course, a tale of two halves. The tale of the first half was Durrell Summers single-handedly keeping the team afloat, scoring 16 of the team’s 26 points as the rest of the team struggled with turnovers and 3-point shooting [...]

The Spartans knock off the Buckeyes 67-58 in a 60-possession game. Official box score. Events conspired against me tonight. I thought I had access to ESPN2, but apparently when you get ESPN and ESPN2 in the Bahamas, you really only get ESPN, as both channels were showing the ESPN feed. And my laptop was cranky; [...]

The Spartans triumph over the Longhorns 67-63 in a 66-possession game. Official box score. Some stats: MSU shot 8-17 from the free throw line. Chris Allen didn’t score a single point. Raymar Morgan took three shots from the field and turned the ball over 6 times. Kalin Lucas and Travis Walton shot a combined 7-21 [...]

Michigan State knocks off The Citadel 79-65 in a 66-possession game. Official box score. In honor of Festivus, let’s start with the Airing of Grievances: It seems to me Travis Walton played more minutes (at least 10) at point guard than he has in any other game this season. He also had his worst offensive [...]

I’ve decided not to post any commentary of a forward-looking nature until we get over to the new site. For now, let’s revel in the season that has been. One of the things that made this season so special was the number of guys who stepped up at various times during the season to get [...]
