Maybe it hasn't been as much of a problem, but there's definitely a continuum, and Iowa's defense probably isn't a good test of it. It's another reason why M-MSU will be fascinating.
I mean it's been zero problem all year.  Honestly it wasn't even a problem in the first half either.  MSU just missed 4-5 wide open threes.  Sometimes you just miss shots

You think MSU is *equally* good in half-court as in transition? That's what I meant by continuum. That these two are not equal. Their transition game is always some amount more efficient ... when they can run it.

My son keeps telling me that Matt Haarms looks like some famous Fortnite player.

My son said he looks like "that gross guy for Michigan with the chicken pox."
That's been the only moment I was able to laugh.

4 on Tillman with an already incredibly short bench is huge.

-6 since they went to Hack an Eastern.  Brilliant.  When did Purdue make their last FG?

MSU deserves to lose for that dumb strategy alone.  Purdues offense hadn't done anything since before the under 12 timeout, and you decide to start intentionally fouling down 5 with 2:30 to go?  I simply don't get it

In general I'm a fan of using your 1 and 1 fouls on the other team's worst foul shooter. But didn't work that time

With 3 minutes left and that team in a complete tail spin?

The numbers would say Purdue would get about 2 points in three possessions, which ain't bad. But they got 6

MSU back down to #3 in KenPom, Purdue up to #7, ahead of UNC, Kentucky and Kansas, but don't tell ESPN.
