I'm watchin my Bucks get beat by Sparty. Ain't fun.

I've flipped over to that game. Looks like a bruiser. If I had to pick a team to win it all right now I'd go with Mich St. I've learned to never bet against Izzo.

Same here, that guy can flat out coach and he's got some serious talent on this team. Trice isn't playing tonight and Payne is limited. Hasn't been too much of a brusier, but some good defense and missed shots. Been weird because the points are coming in spurts, both teams really working the clock down and running offenses. And Gary Harris is a freakin boss

After seeing Cincinnati a few times now, they are such a dangerous team. There's no doubt they are top 25.

Cincinnati 40
UH 24
At the half

I agree. Cincinnati is a top 25 team.

He always has athletic guys who can defend, which makes them tough come tourney time. Same kind of team as Cincinnati.....it's just that Cinci can't score like Mich St.

Well, it's becoming a bruiser now. MSU is locking up on defense. Playing unreal defense in the half-court. Not sure how this is going to turn out for OSU but I don't think anyone can match us in terms of defense. Hands-down the best defensive team Matta has had and gotta be the best back-court defense in the country by quite a bit.

And yeah, I'm becoming more of a believer in Cinci but I still think they're the type of team that can go down to just about anyone. I mean a decent Xavier team showed how bad UC can be at times.

I think Cincinnati just has an off night when they played Xavier. Now that conference play is here they are serious.

[LA_Mustang]

No doubt, Cinci can struggle mightily on the offensive end at times, like they did in the 1st half against Xavier.

[SMU 86]

Payne is bringing it for MSU.

Very well could be. But usually UC vs Xavier is the biggest game of the year for both teams. Hometown bragging rights. It's the game that had the major fight a couple years back, but even in the years before, there was almost always a guaranteed skirmish. Anyways, no doubt UC is getting better as the season has gone on. They also lost a tough one a few nights prior to the X game against New Mexico I believe and may have had a bit of a hangover from that.

Payne is bringing it for MSU.

Yeah, supposedly tweaked his ankle in pregame warm-ups. I believe that the way he's playing...looks like he's getting off the floor just fine.

Houston is hanging tough. Down seven with 4 minutes left.

[OhioBrownFan]

Bucks are within 3 after being down by 17. Craft with a ridiculous drive and finish. Sammy Thompson just got up on an oop. That guy has got the craziest ups I think I've ever seen, can't shoot well, not great handles, but when it comes to measurables, just ridiculous.

[LA_Mustang]

Great game. That should not be a change of possession

[LA_Mustang]

Craft is scrappy as hell

[LA_Mustang]

WOW! That was crazy!

The 1000 in attendance are going bonkers. Houston to within two with :12 remaining
