12-10 MSU...obviously needs a thread.

I feel like Sparty has an edge here. They seem to be faster and better at ballhandling. Louisville's big edge is in the post on offense, but I think Sparty's pace is giving them problems on the defensive edge. The Spartans are missing easy shots but still have the lead. Louisville's defense has to improve if they want to win.

Im happy with either team winning the first game. As for the second game I hope Duke smokes those hippies

dawson and valentine have been pretty awful in the first half. for every shot valentine made he made about 3 mistakes

So... nobody seems to give a shit about this game... fair assumption based on lack of comments so far? Or is everybody still hungover from last night?

MSU has come out attacking and confident in the second. They are already in the bonus with 12:30 to go. Louisville looks lackadaisical, but Louisville still has the lead. They need to get hot quickly before this momentum shift completely takes over the game.

Not very exciting teams, IMO. Duke-Gonzaga will be the game

This is turning into a pretty good game. Also, Pitino looks like a goddamn vampire. Dude freaks me out.

Not for long...MSU up 3 now. Nice little spurt for the Spartans there.

MSU looks like they were given EPO at halftime. The contrast in their defensive intensity is striking.

I'm sure Izzo calmly explained to them that they need to play better

Nothing wrong with fouling Harrell (60% FT shooter) in the single bonus. That's actually a good strategy when he has position.
