The Spartans run, not walk, past the Huskies 82-73 in a 74-possession game. StatSheet box score. At this point, it’s hard to find more words to describe how well this team is playing. This game was almost a carbon copy of the Louisville game in terms of scoring flow: It was back and forth in [...]

The Spartans claw their way past the Jayhawks 67-62 in a 66-possession game. StatSheet box score. It’s 1:49 in the a.m. as I begin this game recap. So what I write below may or may not be coherent. Further, from my seat in section 242 of Lucas Oil Stadium, this game much more as an [...]

I’m leaving for Indy some time this afternoon. Hopefully, I’ll be posting something each night. And we’ll have open threads for as many games as MSU advances to this weekend. For now, here’s a thread to talk about today’s events in Indy. Discussion question: Who would you rather see advance out of the 8/9 game [...]

OK, it’s already “later tonight” and the all-Big Ten selections have been released. Your Spartan awardees: Kalin Lucas was selected as the conference Player of the Year–and a first-team all-conference pick–by both the coaches and the media. Chalk up another rock-solid preseason prediction for the all-knowing, all-seeing Spartans Weblog. (You’ll recall that Lucas didn’t even [...]

MSU guts out their 15th conference win 62-51 in a 68-possession. StatSheet box score. Raise your hand if you had us winning the conference by FOUR games: TEAM CONFERENCE OVERALL Michigan State 15-3 25-5 Illinois 11-7 23-8 Purdue 11-7 22-9 Ohio State 10-8 20-9 Penn State 10-8 21-10 Wisconsin 10-8 19-11 Minnesota 9-9 21-9 Michigan [...]

The Spartans vanquish the Illini 74-66 in a 71-possession game. StatSheet box score. I don’t know what it is about this team, but I just can’t get as tense as I’m used to getting late in close games. Even when Illinois pulled back even seven minutes to go, I had a strange sense of calm [...]

The Spartans stick it to the Badgers 60-51 in a 59-possessions game. StatSheet box score. Let’s start with what still worries me after this game: Three-point shooting. MSU made just 2 of 9 attempts from beyond the arc, with both makes coming in the final minutes of the game. That’s our fourth straight game with [...]

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 [...]
