Sparty at #13 tOSU, Sun 1/31 at 1 ET on CBS

[Fungo Squiggly]

Totally missed this. Assume MSU shoved him and was wondering why no foul was called!

Me too which is why I hopped back 30 seconds. Duane definitely sold it, too.

 

[Jake]

BS foul. Dude was falling down on his own.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Liddell stood his ground and got moved by the Sparty guy! What a crap call

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Oh, that is an awful, awful call.

 

[scarletmike]

What a fucking bailout call...

 

[Bestbuck36]

I haven't seen a bad decision in awhile. That's their weakness so when they take care of that the Buckeyes are a tough out.

This MSU team are fucking bruisers man. This game is not for the weak

 

[OHSportsFan]

I can pretty confidently say the Buckeyes look like they’re 10 points better than MSU this season. Now they have to finish the final 20 minutes to prove it on the scoreboard.

That was an awesome half. Still left a lot out there but did enough to be up 42-30. I’ll take it.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

2 each on Young, Liddell, and Jallow.

Of course, Sparty has 5 guys with 2 so I can’t grumble too much.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Man, all the things Sparty used to be so good at....free throws, offensive rebounds, turnovers....they just aren’t very good.

Lol Holt getting after Washington about that last shot I assume.

 

[HenryMuto]

A few years ago, they wouldn’t have taken those then. It used to require the clock to be 11:59 or 7:59, which was dumb.

Remember the days a long time ago when if you got fouled they would never take the timeout until the FT was made. So we had some long stretches of no under 8 min timeout because the FT shooter would miss the FT and the game continued.

 

[Bestbuck36]

As soon as I said that they miss the opportunity to get 2 shots and Coach Holt was on Duane about it walking off the court.

Good first half. The FT contrast is stark with MSU being putrid from the line. Good

 

[Wingate1217]

Our end of the half offense just totally sucks. It is like Washington says to hell with the play call I am going to take the shot....

 

[Jake]

2 each on Young, Liddell, and Jallow.

Of course, Sparty has 5 guys with 2 so I can’t grumble too much.

Eight guys each with 2 fouls = B1G refs

 

[HenryMuto]

Frustrated with the 4 missed FT's by us and the way the half ended had a couple wide open looks from 3 that didn't go down and a BS call that led to MSU 2 FT's but will happily take a 12 point lead. Hated to see Young taken out of the game so soon with foul trouble once again but survived it.

Those first 4 mins of the 2nd half will be huge in keeping this double digit lead and not letting MSU think they can get back into the game.
