Big Ten Basketball Thread

As rough as the season has been for Sparty, if they win at scUM today they clinch 4th place in the conference at 10-8. Coupled with their SOS outside of conference and they likely get a bid to the dance. Lose to scUM and they'll be in a fustercluck at 9-9, 6th place at best, and squarely on the bubble.

After my call out, Lucas has come alive with some huge shots and some vintage party rebounding.

Douglas and Morgan both got posterized.

There is ted Valentine with his third, I blow the whistle based on whether the shot goes in, foul calls. Ridiculous but par for the course.

Beilein opts for all four liabilities on the floor at once, which helps MSU cut it to two.

The instant Morgan comes back he scores. A good coach would make Morgan a focal point. Yes I know he had foul trouble. I also know that they usually let their judgment challenged jump shooters spray ill advised threes for entire halves instead of feeding him enough touches.

Hardaway gets stuffed but luckily gets the bounce right to him and dumps it in with one motion.

Lucas picks up his fourth foul because Douglas weighs fourteen pounds.

Six point game. Hardaway and Lucas have put on a show.

Roe with a nice jump hook, followed by a nice feed to Morgan from morris.

Both teams leaving it out on the court.

MSU with four separate chances on one possession but turns the ball over.

Summers continues to find new ways to fail, this time refusing to box out the free throw,shooter.

Another dagger by Lucas, a set play three to cut it to 4 with 1:25 left.

Hardaway sinks both FTs.

Novak high fives Lucas on the three with no call, after being called twice today, then green fouls out with yet another over the back call.

And now the game is over, but not before another failed fast break layup by Michigan (read Novak and Douglas)

Quick question, the radio announcer for Michigan kept saying that they get the 5 seed by beating Michigan State and Illinois is the 4 seed in the big ten tournament. But, if I'm not mistaken if Penn State wins tomorrow there will be a 4-way tie for 4th place which would move Michigan to the 4 seed, Illinois 5 seed, Penn State 6 seed, and Michigan State the 7 seed.

Michigan 4-1
Illinois 3-2
Penn State 2-4 (penn state ahead on better record against Iowa)
Michigan State 2-4

Does this make sense or am I way off?
