This is freaking ridiculous. Michigan State, if I'm correct, hasn't had a possession where they haven't scored. Both teams are on pace to score about 128 points, lol...

Michigan State's looks have been at the basket or wide open jumpers. They should be on fire.

Draymond Green is awesome! I love that he is a PG for the Spartans. Hell he is probably their second best passer as it is anyway!

Do you see that Ohio State? Michigan State is getting physical with UT.

As an Ohio State fan, I gotta admit that I love watching Michigan State play. They're my second favorite Big Ten team, and as soon as Ohio State goes out of the tournament, they become the team I root for. There's something about them and Tom Izzo that is absolutely spectacular.

Verne Lundquist has such a sinister laugh. Like he's a movie villain or something.

I agree! Not rooting for them, but in the way they play. Tom Izzo teams alway plays physically and crashes the boards, which is why they make good runs every season.

They are probably my favorite team to watch play. I love their style or running combined with half court. I also love the swing offense they run with the guards entering to the post and running in a circle to get the ball back. I hope Crean is a copycat of his old mentor Izzo cause I would love to watch this offense at IU.

This is like the West Virginia game yesterday. If Tennessee keeps shooting contested threes and hitting them, there is nothing you can do.

Isn't it weird to think that one of these two teams or Butler will make the National Championship? I mean, who would have ever thought that when the brackets were released?

Its a bit easier when you have 5 days to prepare compared to one day. There is a reason why both teams are getting open looks.....

And as mentioned.....Tenn is scoring at will...so not sure how that physical play is really working.

I'm am so sick and fucking tired of hearing about Steven Pearl and his fathers wrath--and then watching him inevitably fuck up and hear the commentators start talking about how he really is a good player and isn't just there because of his dad.

I don't notice Bruce being any harder on him than any other player he coaches--what I do notice is that Steven fucks up more than any other player he coaches.
