Part of the reason everyone just shoots threes, you don't get room inside to do anything, then you get a flagrant.
Nothing about the first half went according to the scouting reports. The best players on both sides were largely invisible, OSU was actually making threes.
This is a game I'd prefer Beilein was coaching OSU, Wesson would have sat for the remainder of the half, rather than his coach trusting him not to pick up #3. That was huge.
OSU is defending MSU better than anyone I've seen all year. They are getting after it. Good scouting, good execution, good effort. MSU has gotten some junk to drop.
