Going into this weekend, I said a 2-1 record in the Old Spice Classic would be a “solid outcome.” But that was contingent on winning the opening game against Maryland–which we didn’t. Nevertheless, I don’t think we should get too despondent about MSU’s Old Spice Classic results (although yours truly was pretty despondent late Thursday [...]

MSU falls hard to Maryland, 80-62, in roughly a 66-possession game. Unofficial box score. Angst-ridden bullets: I once called Goran Suton “MSU’s most indispensable player.” I’m disappointed to now have a data point that backs up that claim. Raymar Morgan’s proclivity to pick up cheap fouls is apparently a chronic problem. Which gives me a sense of [...]
