Will be interesting to see if the Spartans can right the ship tonight. Obviously you can never count out the Spartans but they're digging themselves a decent hole record-wise.

Impressive late comeback by the Spartans to get to overtime, if they pull this out it could be a spark for them.

Yeah, there was NO need to go to that side of the hoop. He had a step on him and all he had to do is lay it up left hand and its game over lol. Oh well, might still pull out the win

Not that it matters with only 2.2 left, but that is a foul on the inbound. It sickens me that refs REFUSE to call it. That's at least the 2nd time I've seen it this year.

Izzo is a great coach, no doubt.

But he definitely benefited from TERRIBLE officiating down the stretch last night.

Potential big one tonight in Minneapolis. Gophers are 1-3 in the league but have lost their three games on the road to Wisconsin, MSU and Ohio State by an average of 7 points. Purdue is one of two undefeated teams left in Big Ten play, but haven't necessarily had a big-time road game yet (I say necessarily because they did beat Penn State on the road, and we can ask Illinois and MSU how easy that road trip is).

Hoping my Gophers can get a victory here. It would probably set them up for a decent run heading into February.
