Always respected Izzo and the Spartans, but when I be tryna finish watching their games before I have to go somewhere, he always calls those random timeouts with a couple minutes left in the half/game:pachaha:
Which is funny b/c Izzo treats his timeouts like diamonds. There's been so many times (less this year) where another team will go on a huge run and I'm begging him to take a TO to stop the bleeding and he'll wait til a media timeout, meanwhile the other team went on a 16-2 run...

But there are games where other coaches burn their TOs and it bites them in the ass, Maryland called their final TO with 5 minutes left in the second half, and then on their final possession they didn't have one to regroup.

I see Buckeyes are #34 in NET, should be in barring some awful loss in the BTT. Nebraska is a dub (they've been collapsing), and even with an @IU loss, OSU should be good with 14 losses (15 makes it REAL difficult), but will have to win at least 1 game in BTT.

Yep. I noticed that. Izzo rather have his teams fight through a bad stretch and save his timeouts for crunch time.

Sports have changed so much, that I like that we still have Izzo at MSU and them still being a threat in March.

It's been a rough 4 years for MSU hoops, the worst stretch of Izzo's career, we need a deep run.

It's b/c KU fans were sending one of the players racist DMs calling him a n!gger and to kill himself
They should be glad Labaron didn’t go up there. Cant imagine how a Mobile nikka would react to a Kansas cac calling him a nig





Auburn is on another level this year with 16 Quad 1 wins (16-2 vs. Quad 1) which is fukking insane.

MSU, Bama, Tenn all have 10 Quad 1 wins.

Well probably “rest” dudes against A&M, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we split the last two. That would tie us with fukk ass Kansas for the all time Q1 record

#1 seed is locked up for Auburn. Is it worth trying to win SECT?

If MSU wins the conference idgaf about the B1GT. Winning that shyt has never helped our seeding. Unless we are playing scUM I'd rather get a loss, rest and regroup for the big dance

That image to announce you're not even a top 30 team

:wow:
that Georgia fan problem, I could care less. any Georgia fans want to defend their team?

if you could find someone to admit they a Georgia fan on here, they'll tell you they only care about football. that's if you can find them. once Beck started handing out early xmas presents, there wasn't a Georgia fan to be seen on this board.

I think they rest for the A&M game, try to fry Alabama to close out the year, and half measure the SECT games. Like if someone is banged up, I don’t see them playing their full allotment of minutes.

People think it’s just coach speak, but Pearl prob is right that we aren’t a cemented #1 overall. I think if we finish with more losses than Duke, they’ll fukk us. So we can’t sandbag too many games.
