Illinois vs MSU

[zappaa]

Who do we root for to best help our cause?

 

[RU_Travesty]

MSU winning keeps them Q1 and puts RU half a game behind Illinois in the conference race

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

A MSU loss makes it easier to finish ahead of them, if your objective is a double bye in the B1G tournament. Just look on the bright side of either outcome.

Not looking good, Illinois came ready to play

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

RU strength of schedule——illinois
RU keeping quad wins——Michigan State
RU revenue (B1G)——-Michigan State
Earning double bye——-Michigan State
If you hate Izzo——Illinois
If you hate Cockburn——Michigan State

Sparty is ice cold, shooting 18% (3-17). 19-8 Illini at the under 8 TO.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

MSU looks terrible right now. They don’t even look like an NCAA team.

You knew what Rutgers did to Illinois, that Brad Underwood was going to have them ready to play at MSU

Yep. Tough spot for MSU.

I have gotten past who to root for but MSU with an inability to score, is struggling. I know it was just 2 weeks ago, but RU played its best 1H in a while vs Sparty and Sparty hasn't played a better 1H than they did vs RU in awhile.

Tyson Walker (Northeastern transfer, who averaged 20PPG there), is now well scouted and his production and inability to score has taken him from starter to off the bench. Hoggard is another Top 150 kid who has not started to score enough either. Until 1 of those guards starts to play better, Sparty may go on an extended streak of games where getting to 65 points is going to be a struggle.

After today MSU has at Iowa, Purdue, at Michigan, at OSU, and Maryland. It wouldn't be shocking if they went 2-3 or 1-4.

 

[bac2therac]

MSU will be a 10 seed if not 11 by end of the year..theyll stay out of first four but you really see where this headed for them

 

[mikebal9]

Illinois trying to give it away?

 

[zappaa]

Made 3 and a 1-1 with different player
When’s the last time you saw that ?

 

[bac2therac]

71-67 lets see what Sparty is made of

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Kofi unstoppable

 

[BillyC80]

What a game

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Incredible atmosphere. There's nothing like college hoops

 

[BillyC80]

Walker is unconscious

 

[zappaa]

Walker playing at elite level

 

[BillyC80]

Walker single-handedly willing his team toward victory.

 

[bac2therac]

76-74 Ill with 47.7 left

 

[BillyC80]

Can MSU get a stop?

 

[BillyC80]

Gave Trent too much room

 

[bac2therac]

Fraizer with the dagger..so calm

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Wow they gave up at the end

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Xavier losing is good too

 

[BillyC80]

MSU in our rear-view mirror for now

Why does MSU winning helps RU’s revenue…? Lol.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Illinois x2(1-1), MSU x1(1-0)
Grandison went for 24, only 2-7 for 5pts vs RU.

Another great sign for respect for Rutgers. All 4 teams , MSU , Ohio State , Wisconsin and Illinois won their next game and 2 of them on the road . No one can say they caught that team in a losing streak. That makes our wins even more impressive as well as all 4 of them played well at various parts of our games and no stinkers.

 

[ecojew]

MSU now 1-3 since leaving the RAC. I hope they're still Q1.

more B1G NCAA teams the more revenue to each school

Illinois laid a turd against us...they had no fight. Most of that is our credit.

MSU may need 2 more total wins. Right?
