Where to start? First of all, credit is due to Ohio State for withstanding MSU's hot start and coming out of it with a win on the road. Buford had a big time shot to win it. Not much you can say when a guy hits a long range jumper with a defender in his face.
I don't have time to elaborate further on this post, but will come back to it later. Overall, it was an excellent regular season for MSU, but this is a difficult loss to take.

Halftime: Michigan State 38, Ohio State 29
Spartans got off to a hot start. Lots of easy baskets in transition, hot three point shooting. Tremendous energy. I'm a little concerned about Brandon Dawson.
Let's deliver the knockout punch in the second half. Go STATE!

Playing for an outright Big Ten title
As I usually do, I'm getting in a quick post before a Spartan game. We're about 40 minutes away from the tip-off of the Michigan State/Ohio State basketball game.
Well, we got no help from Penn State today. I hoped that the Nittany Lions would beat Michigan so there'd be no hope of them possibly sharing a title with MSU. The Lions gave Michigan a game, but didn't have enough to come away with a win.
It's time for the Spartans to take care of business themselves. I expect the MSU players to bring it today, and the Breslin Center crowd better do the same.
Looking back on the season, did any of us expect the Spartans to be in this position? Watching them in some of their non-conference games, I thought they could contend--to finish in the top half of the conference. I wasn't sure if they had enough to be playing for an outright conference championship on the last day of the season. It's been a pleasantly surprising season.
