Who does the public like in this game? “It was a very good performance by (Ohio State)”.
The Michigan State Spartans wrap up the 2015-16 regular season today when they host the Ohio State Buckeyes at the Breslin Center. She poured in a school record 48 in a triple-overtime loss to Michigan State exactly a week earlier. That trio leads the Spartans in both minutes and points per game.
Valentine made a 3-pointer and set up Forbes for a shot from beyond the arc to put the Spartans ahead by 20 with 12-plus minutes left. “We’ve got nine more games”. The Spartans shot 47.4 percent from the floor to trump OSU’s 31.5 field-goal percentage.
The only good news for the Buckeyes is that there is nearly two weeks before they will play their first NCAA tournament game and thus they will have a lot of time to analyze what went wrong, try to fix, and think about all the blown opportunities.
This will go down as a legendary Spartan senior class – they’ve won 109 games together as a group – so it’s great to see them be able to experience this fantastic moment during their last home game.
“I love another contender or two out there but prejudicially, I’ll say that he’s the Player of the Year”.
Ohio State: Freshman Daniel Giddens lamented a reaction he had during the game. “I made a bad decision to gesture in reaction to a Michigan State player”, Giddens said in a statement shared by a school spokesman.
“They just made big shot after big shot after big shot”, Matta said.
Jackson, who plays at Prolific Prep Academy in California, has narrowed his college choices to Michigan State, Arizona and Kansas.
Jackson arrived Friday and enjoyed his visit, having breakfast and then attending practice and watching a film session with Miles Bridges, whom MSU coach Tom Izzo already has signed for next season. Sure, getting the automatic bid by winning the Big Ten tournament is still a possibility.
“People have been following Cheetah’s 2nd half plays for the last 3 years with a ton of success and now you have the opportunity to get his 2nd half moves texted to you directly to your phone!”
