What we do here has nothing to do with what happens there. I do not believe in the JINX.

Would a loss at home to UF be worse than a road loss to UCLA? IOW, how far would they drop?. Honestly don't think Sparty is as good as their record. Thought Self **** the bed against them more than MSU won it.

MSU is not impressive IMO and I mean that even compared to 2 loss UNC or us or even DUke. UF will find a way to lose I'm sure but they are giving their all .

I don't know. Florida is better than UCLA but with it being a home game I'd say so.

That loss from UNC to Texas is pretty much equal to our loss against UCLA tho

Michigan State has now pulled 2 games out of the fire against mediocre teams at home. Draw your own conclusions from that.

Total bed ****. Our roster should have easily handled them and self was too busy teaching playing time lessons. I think UK and KU can both easily handle the Spartans.

They're better than I thought though.

I'll be interested in seeing what level Mike White keeps them at. He did a nice job keeping the 2015 recruiting class Billy Donovan brought in for the most part other than Noah Dickerson, who decided to go to Washington. Talent is solid, but they're a pretty young team. Other than Finney-Smith, their best players are mostly freshmen/sophomores.

They looked pretty solid for what they are given the fact that it was a road game @ the #1 team's place.

Yes they did. If only they could have done a better job on the defensive glass (MSU had 16 offensive boards) or knocked down a few more shots because at times, they were outhustling a Tom Izzo coached team and that doesn't happen very often.

I'm not sure if I should be more impressed with UL and FL almost winning at MSU, or if that is more of a the Spartans are not really that super talented other than Valentine type deal and can lose to anyone anytime. I think it is more of the latter.

I think you're right, when UL played them tight I thought it was because UL's guards were REALLY good but after tonight I'm starting to think MSU is more of a 1 man show with a bunch of other dudes that play hard.
