Thanks and don't worry, we're gonna take care of 'em.

Don't want to look past Purdue, even though we're up, but Petteway makes me nervous. He didn't have a great game tonight, nervous he'll go off on us Sunday.

The Adreian Payne Story: How Michigan State Star Became the Ultimate Role Model | Bleacher Report

Adreian Payne is the best story in college basketball.

no father...
mom died when he was 13...
raised by his grandmother...
special ed student...
took to tutoring (teachers said if he's willing to try, we're willing too) in a big way...
qualified for college...
heavily recruited - said he wanted to play for Izzo...
met 6-year old Lacey Holsworth on a hospital tour two years ago...
he pretty much adopted her - she and her parents pretty much adopted him - they're a team...
his grandmother died two years ago - the whole team traveled to Dayton for the funeral...
could have gone late 1st round NBA last season...
remembered his promise to grandma that he'd get a degree - the first in his family to do so...
stayed at MSU for his senior year - has had a rough time of it...
but nowhere near as rough as his "little sister" Lacey...
can there be a stronger incentive to prevail?

go green!

Miles said after the game that Petteway hit his knee in the Northwestern game and almost didn't play tonight. Hope he's good to go.

He's been cold his last 3 games now.

Tonight was the first night someone else (Pitchford, Shields) stepped up to fill the void.

Biggest game for Nebraska in 2 decades against Wisconsin? Honest question. I'm not up to par on their history as much as other B1G teams.

No.

@ MSU

Oh. You changed it on me and added Wisconsin. I thought you meant Indiana.

Against Wisconsin? Right up there with MSU.

 

[ericd7633]

No.

@ MSU

I guess I meant in terms of something to play for. When was the last time Nebraska basically had one game to play themselves into the tournament?

 

[Red_Alert]

Biggest home game maybe.

The Ohio St win at home earlier was pretty big.

 

[ericd7633]

No.

@ MSU

Yeah sorry my bad. Edited after the fact.

 

[ericd7633]

That gyms gonna be rocking. Should be an awesome atmosphere.

They won 20 games back in like 2008 or so.

Yeah. Glad I went to Northwestern last weekend. No way I'd pay what they're asking for the same seats on Stubhub right now.

Vaguely remember that but I think they wound up in the NIT.

 

[Red_Alert]

Correct. They needed another win, like you said. They ain't in the NCAA's yet this time either.
