Rumor has it, Dickie V again. Yeesh.

I don't want to affect anyone's vwager but I don't give Sparty if Roe does not play. I know that they have Green but Nix has not shown me much this year so I have no idea who they will put on Sully.

Roe may be limited: Michigan State junior power forward and St. Edward grad Delvon Roe, a potential key to defending Sullinger Tuesday, may miss the game and should at least be limited with a knee injury suffered late in Thursday's win against Penn State.

Payne is another big body, but will struggle as well.

Yeah, I thought about Payne and have seen him play some limited minutes this season. I can just see Sullinger posted up against him. That would be a huge weight advantage.

Payne has shot-blocking ability, but he's more effective at that when he's away from the shooter. It seems like he needs to take a long step before elevating. He'll definitely struggle trying to put a body on Jared.

Going to my first game tonight in like 8 years..Was wondering what time shootaround starts because I was interested in going. Thanks.

since Vitale:( is going to be there I would be in my seats about one half hour before tipoff since he likes to show off during the shootaround.

4 hours till tip off......I want to drink while watching, but i dont think i should start now. But i WANT TOO

A few players, usually Sullinger and Lenzelle Smith, are shooting around starting an hour and fifteen minutes before tipoff (7:45 tonight) but the whole team usually starts shooting around about 45 minutes before tip (8:15ish). I've been to about 10 games this year (I get there way early) and they don't deviate much from that pattern. Hope that helps.

This game scares me.

Really hope OSU comes out strong and never looks back.

Go Bucks!

I've had a bad feeling about this game for a couple weeks, but I didn't expect we'd be coming off a loss going into the game. We match up well too... Bucks win, easy.

Same here, I thought it was a greasy game. Now not so much.

 

[Tonyank]

I dont see it, after our first loss, back at home, chance to get back to #1 (w/ Kansas's loss) I have a feeling of the Purdont game few weeks back.

Izzo's has lost this team IMO

 

[TDunk]

I see the guys running out to an early run. They want to get that bad taste of Wiscy out of their mouth by having a Sparty chaser. I can see a nice Izzo adjustment but then the team pours it on the green and white by making a bunch of shots and winning by at least a dozen.

(And if you noticed the drinking innuendo, that's because pre-game has commenced.)

GO BUCKS!
