Is it just me or does Izzo alwasy have that "Well that was a great game that we probably didn't deserve to win" vibe in the handshake line everytime they win a close game?

Yeah he gives the opposing team a ton of credit especially when they play that hard and had elite defense

 

[FriendlySpartan]

Auburn's good but has been a little wobbly while Michigan seems to have really gotten traction at the right time.

Agreed but I don’t want to match up against aubrun and a UM/MSU matchup is a win win for me. Also MSU has smashed Michigan this year so I’ll take that any day

Who's the 7 footer from Michigan from Home Alone?

I've noticed teams with dudes and there's some luck involved.

Arkansas got the look last night at the end of regulation and it just didn't drop.

I guess I'm talking about guys like Barnes and Izzo and Pearl and Oats and Calipari and Scheyer. You know, really successful coaches.

Strong, mobile big guys that have relentless motors...speedy, quick guards with great ball-handling skills that can shoot and penetrate...lots of great athletes. I hope TJ finds these types of guys in the portal or we already have them on the team.

Auburn looks mortal here, like 1st half in Maui

Purdue some winey ******* about to get slapped. They can't keep up.

Close game to start in Indy. Let’s see how long Purdue can keep up this defensive effort

I don't know if you did that on purpose or if just a typo. If on purpose - Well played!

When I was a kid, old country guys in Alabama pronounced Auburn: "Aubrun" or "Aubrin". Have not heard that in a long, long time.

FWIW, I am rooting for Auburn tonight but Sparty on Sunday. Both Pool related.

 

[CYedUp]

that is not a charge in todays standard

I like their old fashioned uniforms though.

 

[cyclonespiker33]

Of course the rule on charges changes once we get to the tournament. Not even close.

Goodness they are letting so much go in this Houston Purdue game

 

[CY88CE11]

Is there really any doubt that was a foul? Jesus. You can't hit a 3 point shooter's arm.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Insane that Houston has to play Purdue in Indianapolis

 

[NWICY]

@FriendlySpartan congrats on the W today. Seed

Why do they get this home game? Ridiculous

Purdue the black hole of college BB
