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 hitting the road for Indy shortly. Here’s your open thread to converse before, during, and after tonight’s game. I may or may not post a game recap tonight after the game; if I don’t, I’ll get the post up in the morning. Discussion-inducing links: A KenPom Preview: Michigan State Interesting to get the tempo-free-analysis [...]
More previewing not done by me

Big Ten Geeks: The Jayhawks are the best rebounding team the Spartans have faced since, well, the Jayhawks. When the two teams met in East Lansing on January 10, however, Michigan State dominated the glass and managed a sparkling 15.7 TO% in the easy win. If the Spartans make those two things happen again on [...]

Friday night, approximately 9:37 p.m. Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis. CBS. Unfortunately, professional responsibilities are going to preclude me from doing my own preview of the game. Instead, I’m going to point you toward a couple other preview and then let you take it from there. First, Mr. Gasaway’s capsule on the game: There is not [...]

MSU-Kansas Thoughts To pay my blogging penance, I watched the full game on videotape this afternoon. Here’s the rest of the game recap: Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the current nine-game winning streak is how everyone in the playing rotation seems to be finding their respective roles. Eleven players played significant minutes yesterday, and [...]
Kansas Game Recap (1/10/09)

MSU charges by Kansas 75-62 in a 70-possession game. It’s very late and I still haven’t seen the whole game (although I did manage to watch about 25 minutes of it in an airport bar in Nassau while imbibing one final Kalik), so all you get for now is a link to the official box [...]
Kansas Game Preview

1:00 Saturday. The Breslin Center. CBS. It’s hard to know how to feel about these nonconference games played in the midst of the conference season. There’s not the same sense of excitement or urgency as there is for a match-up with a top nonconference opponent in December, as the focus has shifted to the conference [...]

I’d expect Michigan State will announce the full 2008-2009 basketball schedule for the upcoming season within the next several weeks. Here’s what we know at this point about the major nonconference games, following the release of Kansas’ schedule: Note: List is updated per this post. It also appears we’ll be playing Idaho, Bradley, Alcorn State, [...]
Kansas-Related Thoughts of a Preliminary and Contradictory Nature
Posted in commentary, tagged kansas, ncaa tournament on March 23, 2009 | 7 Comments »
1. We beat them earlier this year. Handily. So that’s good. 2. They’re a young team. Of the eight Jayhawks who average more than 10 minutes per game, three are freshman and three are sophomores. So it’s likely they’ve improved more than the average team has over the last 10 weeks. So that’s bad. 3. [...]
