This make OSU lost to Tennessee more frustrating! The bucks match up much better against Michigan State and would have knocked them up (That's the bias in me lol).

0.2 is 0.2! The point was of no value and it took more than 10% of the remaining time away from Tenn! Was still the right play!

Disagree. the point couldve been huge. Laettners shot was a 2. Ive seen plenty of teams throw it down for a 2 pointer.

BTW, Princes shot was short cause he knocked it out of his own hand.

Not anymore, shit like that is what got the banks in trouble.

Not surprised at all, like I said, even without Lucas I couldn't pick against Izzo. His teams find a way to get it done, IMO he's the best coach in college basketball because no one has come close to doing more with less than he has. Not saying he doesn't get some talent, he's had some REALLY good players. But I think everyone would agree with that anyways, maybe not that he's the best coach, but I understand--other coaches certainly have strong arguments. It's all opinion, no ones argument for that title is good enough to stand alone. But you just can't pick against him. The game today is a great example of why he's so good--the way they won is a total tribute to Izzo. Their 2nd best player is out (I've always like Morgan over Lucas) and you know, nothing spectacular at all, they just figure out how to plug away and win the game.

This team could win this whole thing without their QB. This truly is March Madness, I love it!

Meh.. MSU would have beat Ohio State with the way they played against Tennessee. No real inside threat.

Don't base anything off the regular season.

Izzo is the man imo. Great coach and just a great guy overall.

Morgan went from goat to hero. He had bad turnover, almost turned it over again but it was saved...then makes FT to win it.

Agree. As an IU fan, I used to HATE him. But I've learned to love him. He's one of the all-time greats IMO.

If you can find a more evenly played game, I'd love to see it.

Very evenly played game. When you can rebound the ball down the stretch and go inside for offense, you give yourself a chance to win close games.
