couldn't agree more with this angle!!!!!

bloodbath examples abound

big forum wins also aplenty

all im saying is the forum is not big-time on the joe dumars for game 6. seems more even than that. but agree just depends on your own action

absolutely love this angle, fading the public

but i don't see it here. looks like 55/45 at best.. .

@pointspreadking

love the forum-as-public angle but this game doesn't have it.  more 50/50, this game won't qualify as a bloodbath. GLTA

70% ish on duke

it happens. not quite bloodbath but finally an "upset"

bounce back monday, forum!!!!

forum missed the mark on this one. hopefully rebounds on monday!

body language horrible. and his mom is annoying AF. tough game for him prob playing thru stuff but no excuse for the body language. . .

haha good try

~70% forum on the cooperflaggs

hopefully we get two great games worthy of these 1 seeds

(i agree with the play btw)!!!!

gutsy play and would be a classic contrarian one. . . they just dont start strong for whatever reason. and then every so often they'll go off (B10 season finale v UM eg). it would be a time to go reverse tho, as first three tourney games 1h have been weak. . . GL

looks like forum likes sparty

yikes.

my heart says sparty so prob on the wrong side

and forum seems split, maybe a slight lean to the B10 reg season champs, fwiw.

so many things to comment on, from the coaching (pearl nvr enough credit, izzo sometimes too much) to the styles (elite scoring and tempo from auburn but underrated defense, intense man-up defense from sparty with their ability to push the ball and score in transition) to the personnel.

will the ole miss game help sparty "acclimate" to a SEC-style defense? problem is, auburn has even more length and better shotmaking than the rebs. . . 

will izzo get too cute with personnel? starting coen carr v olemiss was risky, obvi carr is amazing but still raw - his size/skillset matched up but spartans lost some of the big-big screen/pass ability they like to run. happy they will go back to their regular starters (i presume).  hope booker gets in to match some of auburns length/athleticism, and plays focused not lackadaisical.

will sparty make enough 3s? can jase create enough in flow of offense, rather than bail out the offense with 7s left on the shotclock each possession? will kohler, cooper, zapala have enough quickness to handle the auburn bigs? can sparty get enough transition buckets to offset auburns elite scoring? can they be the tougher team (whatever that means, sometimes can be too cliche) and keep their identity as defense and rebounding kings?

vegas says maybe. . . does -5.5 scream, take auburn? i dont think so, line is about right

i just think this msu team is special - all year ive waited for them to underachieve, and they haven't. loss to wisky in B10 tourney was the proverbial "good loss".  and good for the kids getting money, but im old school and don't want four 1s in bc of NIL/portal. would be nice to have a homegrown team of overachieving non-consensus-5star recruits in the FF. . . 

lets go michican state backers!!! GL to all

this time spot on!!!! like arky +5 yesterday

nice win oxford backers

hopefully this doesnt push izzo closer to the portal. . . stay true sparty

sparty ff and champ futures. . . izzo fan for years. . . hope im wrong but seen this too many times

sparty done, deer in headlights, too much dribbling and stagnant mechanical offense. . .

lets goooooooo runnin rebs!!!
