MSU nips Bucks at the Bres

The Spartan Men's Basketball squad hit 5 three pointers in roughly a 2 minute stretch to take a 29-20 lead and did enough to hold the lead and capture their 3 Big Ten win and run the streak at the Breslin Center to 26 wins, the last defeat coming at the hands of OSU nearly two years ago.Overall, I think the effort was adequate, but the team lacked energy, and I'm really tired of seeing them shoot so badly from the stripe.What is so dang difficult shooting free throws.I am hardly an athlete, but I personally have hit 18 or more in a row before.Rhythm,rhythm,rhythm and a little bit of form.That's all there is to it.Suton had 9 points and 9 reebs or so, with Raymar Morgan adding a dubba dub.Kalin Lucas is working on becoming my fave player.Speed, smarts, skills, he's the whole enchilada.Could be a little bigger, but hey...hes good.OSU really needs Lighty on the floor and not on crutches or wearing a boot for that broken foot.B.J. Mullens is becoming on of my fave league players also.I think he will really contribute and do good things for OSU, as long as he stays.NO SENIORS on the floor for OSU.I think it sucks college athletics in some cases has become a revolving door to the pros.67-58 final score good for a 1/2 game lead on the stinking Badgers.Wisco will be a spot in the rearview soon enough I think(hope more like it).Michigan State(8) now rests for Conflicto Grande with Kansas.It oughta be a real track meet.
Item #2 for tonight is Penn State.Boy , those guys just never know when to say die, do they?Of course Purdont(14) didnt have Robbie Hummel or Chris Cramer due to injury, but considering PennState at one point had like a 18 point lead or something, with 3.5 minutes to go, makes you wonder if the Boilers would have done any better with them on the floor.Purdue(14) is now 0-2 to start league play and according to ESPN, they ended play 3-13 the last time that happened.It wont happen this time, I assure you.Moore chipped in 22 points or so, but it wasn't good enough.Penn State hung on scoring three more to outlast the Boilers 67-64.Statistically, Purdue(14) outclassed PennState in shooting, but committed 9 more fouls.In an upset victory over my Spartans(8) last year, PennState went to the line on 54 fouls compared to 18 by MSU.We lost...they flooded the floor.Penn State 2-1 in league now.First time that's happened in ... well...ever I think.Up next, the multiple ways I feel my boss is a douche bag........
just kidding..I love that guy.Hes a tyrant the likes that would make Napoleon blush.I wanna give him hugs.The kind where you face turn all red and you middle makes a crackling noise.Cawy like giving hugs.Hugs are good...again..that was a joke people.I never advocate work place violence.I'm just not a meanie pants.I do like giving hugs though.Not the awkward ass-out variety either.I latch right on like pneumonia.

i feel like im watching the same loss over and over and over again. we play well in the first few minutes of the first half, give up a huge run including 5-7 threes and are not able to climb back in it the rest of the way. makes me angry. solid win for you guys - good game. thats what you have to do against a zone defense. hit your open shots and everything will work itself out.
