My rule is always pick MSU to lose the first game of a weekend (First Round, Sweet 16, Final 4), but I think I'm going to break that this year.

Why? Depth due the injuries, or something else.

I'm just glad that they scored more points than they lost by. Didn't look like that would be the case there for a while.

Sorry to the Buckeye fans. That was just walking into a buzz saw today. Wire to wire, the way Purdue was playing there might not have been a team in the nation that would've beat this team.

Bad, how UW played while I didn’t watch

Good: UW has 20 wins this season with two to go, and that’s not to be underrated. 

Very good: I feel A LOT better about the IU loss. Thanks MSU and sorry ELA.

Be glad you didn't watch. It was not easy on the eyes.

Depth.  With Ahrens being done, they are down to 5 guys, and one is on a sprained ankle, and can't shoot on it.  MSU was scoreless the last 5 minutes.  They simply dont have enough guys period, let alone to play two games in three days.  Only chance is to just lay the wood on some 14 seed and limit Winston to like 25 minutes.  But they can't beat decent teams right now without 40 minutes of Winston playing well, and getting role guys to play like starters.  They got that against Michigan, but it was clear today Winston is spent.  And since UM we learned Ahrens is done, and now McQuaid has a sprained ankle.
Has to be the worst football/basketball injury year I can ever remember.  Starting QB, RB, both WRs and best CB in football, then 2 of their 3 best players in basketball.  Hopefully we get some makeup luck next year.

Iowa at home down to Rutger at the half. They don't look good right now. Maybe Fran makes a difference. Will be interesting to see how H2 unfolds.

I have a replay saved. Jazzed to watch with a critical eye and no stress.

I'll be interested to read your observations. You're good at that stuff.

Rutgers (they get their '"s" back) is up 20 on Iowa. Wowzers. 7 minutes left.
