Ohio State vs Michigan State, 4 Mar 23, Noon EST, ESPN

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

Michigan State basketball vs. Ohio State tipoff: Matchup analysis and a prediction​


• Prediction: MSU's win at Ohio State was the Spartans' best defensive performance of the year. I know the Buckeyes have won two straight and have talent that's better than their record. It's hard to imagine them coming on the road into Breslin Center and having the moxie and connectedness to get the job done..

• Make it: MSU 72, Ohio State 63

HOW IT PLAYS OUT​

LINE: MSU -7.5, O/U: 139.5​

Ohio State exacted revenge upon teams it previously lost to in each of the past two games, but I think that streak ends Saturday as the Spartans haven't stumbled in East Lansing in a month-and-a-half.

Prediction: MSU 73, OSU 67

Early 15-0 Sparty run was just too much to overcome. Trailed 17-4 and never got closer than 3 the rest of the way.

Bucks fall, 84-78.

The place I would fault coach is not amping up his energy and getting in their asses for playing dogshit Defense. He's just too nice most of the time. Be nice when you are trying to get their Offensive confidence but be a sonofabitch when you need them to play defense like their lives depend on it. They lost that game in the first 15 minutes. I dont give a shit if you can't hit the broad side of a barn you can still play defense if you have two arms and two legs.

Unfortunately it's why I watch basically no basketball at all anymore other than Buckeye and Cavalier games because it's all a look at me Offensive game now and I hate it.

Now that I got that out of my system, was great to see Gene getting some boards and scoring. He needs to be the lockdown guy on D but turning that into Offense is where he can really make an impact. The team kept battling but they hurt themselves too much early on. Let's get a few wins in the tournament and see what this team might be next year.
