Low key, Florida might have the second best resume behind Auburn. Wins @ Bama, @ Auburn, vs Tenn, yet no one seems to be talking about UF really.

Yep. The Mercer loss was bad. I was hurt more by

Caleb Love. I feel we would have beaten KU if we got pass bytch ass UNC. Banchero was a monster that year.
This year too. I hate MSU

I felt we could have won it all that year too. Damn RJ Barrett had to miss that free throw.

2019 MSU was for the 4-5 losses Duke has handed us in the tournament

For those that follow MSU, the last 4 seasons (besides 2023) have been rough. But we knew Izzo, despite his flaws, wasn't washed. The issues boiled down to poor leadership at the PG position (AJ Hoggard), as every great MSU team has always had elite PG/guard play. We couldn't close out games to save our life with Hoggard. We won 8-10 games this year that we would've lost last year b/c of poor leadership & accountability.

Also, had Jase started every game he likely wins B1G POY, but it took a while to figure out how to maximize his role, and this team cares more about winning than individual awards, accolades, stats, etc.

As long as there are no agendas with the refs, seeding, ESPN and etc we should do alright year. How alright is yet to be determined.

2 seed in a region with Duke, SJU as the 3, & UConn as the 7 seed in the 7/10 match-up we'd play in the second round



Speaking of agenda with the refs:



The foul committed against Carr wasn't called (announcers were even like ) then this happened on the other end and was called a foul...We were down by 8 or 10 at this point too. MSU was -7.5 and ended up winning by 7.

Tre is a fukking dog tho...
