So Gard going with the same game plan that put them in a huge hole last time.  Force feeding Happ and getting nothing.  They played well last time once they abandoned that
I’m not watching, but that’s kind of always the gameplan. 
UW is really short on other gameplans with this roster.

It started working once they found more creative ways to get him involved.

I love Happ, but his game was always gonna have some issues with the size MSU can roll out there, even when he had shooting support, which he does not now.

2 points on 1-8 shooting.  We'd probably be in better shape with Bridges out, because his head clearly ain't right.

There are times when MSU's half court offense is tough to watch, but this isn't one of those days.  They are getting themselves a ton of good looks, and just missing everything.

Davidson is unconscious right now ... tough kid coming right back in after popping his shoulder out.

1-11 now.
After his crap game in front of Dakich after Dakich called him out, kind of figured this would be his response.

Lol, last time a defender put a body on a guy like that, they called the offensive player for travelling for receiving the hip check.

With McQuaid and Bridges absent, this Winston career game was sorely needed.

Big play by Jackson.  He is MUCH better as a helpside defender, so Happ going right at him is the right idea, and had largely worked.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a missed call like that in Kohl.

Izzo continues to not understand the difference between good and good for a walk on.

Goins should not be in at this moment.  Fouls the 3 point shooter, then can't secure the rebound and makes it a 5 point possession.

Pretty impressive that MSU could overcome all that adversity that was on their plate, and scrape together an outright title.

If Bridges rights the ship and Ward and Winston keep up their play this is my tourney favorite.

Love Davison. Haven’t met a HS coach in the Tein Cities that coached against him that hasn’t said the same thing. 

The gophers screwed the pooch. Could have had a freshman backcourt of Davison and McKinley Wright. Instead they went after the NY street baller
