If MSU had beaten OSU, it would be a trap game.  Never heard of a trap game coming off a loss.  He'll, I thought were about to see angry MSU, and was kind of pissed that we were going to waste it on a home game with Rutgers.

If it were a case of letting OSU beat us twice, I'd have expected MSU slow out of the gates, but instead MSU scored the first 9 points and ran out to a 19-7 lead, then got outscored the rest of the way.

I just think it's as simple as MSU is slumping right now.

Well, we'll know more in about 48 hours... I'm a little sad that Mich/MSU is on at the same time as Pur/MN. Obviously I'm going to watch the Purdue game, but wish I could watch both...

Iowa/Illinois matches the last two winless (in conference) teams against each other so I guess that is something.  

I'm concerned about a let-down for Ohio State tonight.  On the other hand, I assumed that MSU would come out mad coming off of that and destroy Rutgers so hopefully I'll end up wrong on both counts.  

I'm going to NYC this weekend and will be at the tOSU at RU game on Sunday night.  Does anyone here know anything about watching a BB game at Rutgers?

Aww, looking for a good laugh with someone? 
The Zebras had nothing to do with this game. 
Turgeon is a shit coach. We have a ton of talent all around us, and we go all over the world for learning curve players who can't speak English. 
Plus, 2 key contributors with length are done for the year. 
Turgeon said after the Dook II game that this team got better. Well, we must be Final 4 good now.
Kevin Anderson screwed us hard since his hiring. Now, he's getting paid to NOT be there!  Laughable.

Just looked at OSUs schedule.  Their next seven games have to be about as easy a 7 game conference stretch as you'll see.

12-0 is very possible.

Illini hit a really ugly three at the buzzer to force OT.

I was looking at the same thing. Road games can be tougher than expected plus I'm going to the Rutgers game so I probably jinxed that, but the MN game isn't really a road game it is at MSG in NYC.  
I'm concerned about the short turnaround between MN in NYC and Nebraska at home. Indiana also looks to be much improved but yeah, 12-0 isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Iowa pulled it out in OT so the Illini are the last winless team in the conference.
