This MSU team sucks. Can’t believe talking heads thought hey would win it a

Just jacking 3s when they need 2. Getting swatted like fools

That's what happens when you put too much stock into past tournament performance- you get dumb predictions like what you describe.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

you're a fan of some weird programs. they were still an 11 seed for a reason, lmao.

Lol!

You mean programs with toughness and grit, then yeah. Pretty weird

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Jesus, I can't think of a derpier team to advance as much as Syracuse has; they probably should be in the NIT and are in the sweet 16. What a world.

but my post you quoted wasn't incorrect.

being an 11 seed isn't a sign of being a national power..

 

[The Derski]

Like Adrienne Payne?

You would know more than me but he kind of reminds me of Justise Winslow with more of a jumper.

Congrats @jonvi

Thanks man. They worked hard.

They were near the top in FG% defense and assist to turnover ratio. Those are things you usually look for in a winner but at some point offense wins championships

On the cusp of a Final Four run based off of sheer determination says otherwise

I’m really interested to see how Bridges actually performs in the NBA.

I think he'll be better in the NBA than he was at State. Jaren Jackson will be much better. This is why I never understood all the fascination with Izzo to coach in the NBA. He coaches the heck out of hard work, determination, effort, conditioning, etc. None of the real super star talents he's ever had have developed much though, especially not offensively.

lmao, Syracuse has a 36-36 conference record over the past four years. yeah, definitely a sign of a national power.

Marquette shoulda got a 3 seed

Beat more tourney teams then this horrendous MSU team

Michigan State finishes the season 2-5 against at-large caliber teams this season. Gotta be the most disappointing team in all of college basketball this season.

one of the least impressive resumes for a 3 seed of all-time

 

[ericd7633]

Maybe Jay Bilas will stfu now?

 

[jonvi]

@douggie Hey man....Never a doubt.

Good luck next week.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Maybe Jay Bilas will stfu now?

Not a chance. Very intelligent man, but he has shown over the years that he refuses to step away from his hot takes.

Yep, name on the front of the jersey got them that. If a mid-major had two wins against the field with that record they'd be a 6/7 seed.

yeah, and I think they got the benefit of the doubt because the Big Ten was down and the committee wasn't going to hold that against them. The committee was wrong.

Izzo is 4-7 in his last 11 games in March...

I'm tired of him rambling on about the injustices of seeding, particularly Michigan State this year. He used the word "joke" about their seeding ever since they revealed the top 16, only joke is him. And I actually do like Bilas.
