Michigan State is just a little bit better than us I think. No shame in losing to them.

I'm not gonna say that we missed some open 3s, Wood had a career day and Sully had to sit out in the first half. If these teams play 10 times its probably 5/5.

Great warm up game for the tournament though we can still make a deep run.

Considering MSU just won their 2nd of three in the season series against Ohio State... I'd say that's a pretty obvious statement.

The thing that MSU has is a bench willing to score points when their starters are getting a breather.

Dont abbreviate the sentence and take it out of context. Sorry if it rubbed you wrong, but the truth cuts deeply. We looked out of sorts too many times and MSU went right at what they wanted. We didnt control the game and they did. They wanted it more than we did. Pretty simple.

This, over the last 10 minutes. They kept playing hard but didnt keep things under control enough. Missing free throws? Thats concentration. The same as missing wide open looks when we had them. MSU didnt miss theirs.

Congrats to Michigan State.
"They wanted it more" is the default armchair QB rationale for a team losing a close game.

It's not an obvious statement because there's OSU fans that won't admit it. The Heat did win the first two of three from the Mavs in the Finals, but lost the series.
