Congratulations to Middle Tennessee State beating Michigan State

Middle Tennessee State was on fire.

Michigan State is one of the top rebounding teams in the country, but that does them little good when the opponent is sinking everything. Michigan State is statistically one of the worse teams at forcing turnovers and it haunted them. They needed to force Middle Tennessee State on a day like that, exposing Michigan State's biggest weakness.

Great points on this game! I will add that much as I love Coach Izzo he never made a defensive adjustment. He must have thought that Mid Tenn would eventually cool off and come back to Earth and they didn't.

Mid Tenn shot 57.9% from three point land. The Golden State Warriors lead the NBA at 41.8%.

Can I hear a Let's Go Orange from ya?

Sure, JM.

My wife went to Michigan, several friends went to Michigan State, and my daughter went to University of Texas (who was upset by University of Northern Iowa). I’m rapidly running out of teams to cheer for.

Let’s Go Orange!

We Arkansans do not have that same slow drawl either.
Though we do make 2-3 syllables of many 1 syl words.
And all of you are "ya'll" or "all ya'll." We get teased a lot for that.

My dad was from N.C., lots of relatives from N.C. and S.C.
They would have pronounced our "YOU LER" as "YOU LAH."

Who? Middle Tennessee State or Michigan State?

From his avatar, looks like bbking is a Michigan man celebrating the fact that Michigan State lost.
Trouble for him is that Michigan also lost, to Notre Dame.


Absolutely celebrating MSU loss.And the fact Michigan lost was not a big deal considering they were not predicted to be there in the first place. MSU was considered by many to win it all.Which maid it more sweet!!

I once made a maid, but I guess that's a topic for a different thread.

After finally getting Stony Brook into the NCAAs, the coach jumps ship to take over at Rutgers. Best of luck, but couldn't it have waited a bit.
If he's leaving, it's best that Stony Brook find out ASAP, since they now need to go on a coaching hunting expedition. The more time passes, the fewer coaches that will be available.

They have a big rally scheduled for tomorrow. Its the first time SB ever made the NCAAs. I think he could have waited a few days. It looks like his top assistant is taking over as Head coach
I don't understand why the Stony Brook coach should have waited in his getting the Rutgers opening.
The season was over for Stony Brook so why the wait?

What's important is 11th seed Gonzaga vs 10th seed Syracuse. Let's Go ORANGE!!
