TOM TISDALE with the basket
Yikes Davis, where was the pass to, there were 3 Illini under the basket to throw to....
ok, I'll be the first to say it----REBOUND!
Legion?
How is that a shooting foul?
Do refs just never call shooting fouls?
Keller throwing up some wild ass shots
Demetri, shoot the damn ball when you are under the hoop

Why is it so hard for us to get back on defense. Were not going to win this game if we keep jogging back. Is it that hard to figure out....
lolLegion
I have seen all the legion i can handle today.

Legion?
Looked great blowing an uncontested two footer
I cant believe he missed that bunny, and if you get the ball back on a turnover, you better damn well make a 15 foot jumper!!
Where did Legion get the rep as a great shooter??

He is clearly nervous and lacking confidence right now, I think he will be a different player next year....
I don't understand why Bruce ever bothers playing him. Ever.
Boy we let up some easy baskets
OH MY!! Trent! 
SHOOT THE DAMN BALL DEMETRI
Another damn layup!
Play D and stop their break.
Mike Davis is graduating to a junior today....
Nice move by Davis and the color guy loved it!
lol did that broadcaster just have a heart attack?

Lol at that announcer, "a 17 foot jump hook by Davis!!"

I have never heard of Bob Wenzel
How does Sparty offensive board so well every year?
"Illinois doesn't make you shoot very many free throws" 3 seconds later we get a shooting foul. Dang announcer jinx.
Come on D-Mac wake up
Keller is not looking good right now.
I dont give a rip what anyone says, watching mccamey jog down that last trip before the commercial was PATHETIC.
I wish we could transplant Chester's Heart in Mccamey.....

Yup. If we're going to try to play at this pace, the ball needs to be in his hands (and he does in fact need to wake up for that to happen).

Apparantley Dominique thinks he needs to shoot whenever he touches the ball

They are trying to take advantage of #23 who doesnt play much.
Nice shot by Chet
Is it just me or is tizzy playing like a little girl right now?

He certainly does not like a physical game

2 good plays back to back though however by Keller, Good d board and pretty drive to the tin :-)
Not a good way to end the half.
So much for D-Mac loving "the bright lights". This is the biggest game all year and he has been invisible
Shooting 45% for the half. Against any other team in the B10, I'd say we'd have a shot. But given the large number of lay ups and shots within 6 feet they've converted...it'll take shooting in the 50% range to pull this out.
This game really gets me excited about next season, and even more excited about the season after. As much as the "Over Acheivers" comment really stung, i think to an extent it is true.
Right now were just having a hard time keeping up with Michigan State's athleticism, and in reality tisdale and keller should both be backups in a game of this speed, but one of them have to play. ...

those couple of bunnies weve missed really hurt, Legion and Davis

This isn't a game he is going to score 20 pts in. So unfortunately hes checking out....
McCamey = MIA.

Please wake DMac up! He looks like Martez Wilson jogging around out there!

In his defense, MSU is all over him on the top of the key and not allowing him much room to do anything.
