Sparty Week

[DrEss]

Both teams are off until their game in Mackey Saturday. MSU looking better lately. Booker starting today. Izzo crying to the refs every chance he can get. You know Izzo really wants to beat Matt and Purdue in Mackey. Beating Purdue would get MSU permanently out of the 8/9 game line talk. Should be a hell of a battle. Need the Paint Crew to really have an impact. Go Boilers!!

This one appears that it will be off the charts - a LOT on the line for both teams. High risk/High reward and could be an instant classic. I expect Michigan State will bring it and then some, and they have plenty of players who can cause issues for the Boilers. Also, I cannot remember a season where Michigan State and Purdue didn't play until this late in the season.

Sparty is suddenly getting a game from Jake from Columbus.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Hate Izzo. Let’s take down Sparty!

 

[DrEss]

We all know Izzo will see that a foul is called here on the offensive end.

 

[DrEss]

Wow!!

 

[Chi-Boiler]

OMG!

 

[Boiler Buck]

WOW. OSU just buzzer beats them. Izzo going to be crazy on them this week. Might make them even more desperate??

That they will. Malik Hall is such an interesting player for them. I'm not sure he touched the ball in the last 6 minutes. It was all Walker and he was not having a good game for them.

They scored 7 points in the final 11 minutes of that game.

We will not let the crying Izzos come and get a win in Mackey with a tie for the Championship on the line. I’m sure they will play desperate but I think a week to focus on this game will lead to a 10 point win.

is there a chance we can win outright if Illinois has a loss before our game?

sparty is 17-11 and 9-8 in the B1G. They still have work left to do to make the tourney. Gonna get their best shot.

I think they lose vs Minnesota, we have at least a share. They lose Minnesota then at Wisconsin and we win, we win out right…someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Ohio state didn’t without battle too. Wow. That 3 was what they were hitting vs us. It was contested and a tough shot in general. Who gets in if you have to pick OSU vs MSU?

 

[DwaynePurvis00]

Did I hear right on the broadcast that the last time a team went back to back was 17 years ago?

 

[DrEss]

Yes, the Illini play twice before our game with Sparty. If they lose both, Purdue is the solo champ.

Lizzo > Izzo

Sparty was weak today

Sparty was weak today

Booker did play pretty well for them today, blocked several shots and hit a couple of 3's. He will play Sat and try to pull Edey out to guard him.

I'd rather see Purdue just take the title on its own. Plus, I just don't see the Illini falling apart.

Defend Mackey and it's over. A win @ Illinois would be fantastic icing on the cake.
