Let's do this! Purdue at Michigan State GameThread

Purdue Boilermakers at Michigan St. Spartans, Feb 9, 2010 9:00 PM EST


I have been waiting all day for this, so I am sure the next hour will take forever. Let's do this thing. First place is on the line and I'll look like a jack if we lose:

And with that, every single reader just went over to the Michigan State camp.

Our quality wins might be taking a hit this week

WVU fell yesterday, Tennessee getting taken for a ride in the first half at Vandy. Guess we’re going to have to earn back some of that reputation ourselves and it starts tonight in E.L.

Lord, beer me strength.

True

they’re not helping, but Wake is helping more than I expected. I’m glad the quality of the Tennessee win lasted as long as it did considering what happened to their players. Last I checked, Wake was blowing out BC. Agreed with the 2nd sentence.

by boilerg on Feb 9, 2010 8:15 PM EST up reply actions  

Crap

Thanks for reminding me. The Wake game is on Fox Sports Carolina down here. It’s tucked up on some ridiculously high channel. I’ve had Purdue/MSU on the brain all day.
Wake up 63-50

Lord, beer me strength.

by doublegoldandblack on Feb 9, 2010 8:21 PM EST up reply actions  

that's definitely understandable

this day has been going by very slowly for me too. It was hard to work because I’ve been thinking about tonight’s game more than I probably should. Hope Wake pulls out a double digit win, they have a shot at making the top 25 before the end of the season which could help us out.

by boilerg on Feb 9, 2010 8:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Starting to pull away

Up 16 with 10 min. to go. I think they’ve got a decent chance to be ranked with 7 games left. They get GT at home on Saturday, which should be a fun game. They’ve also got a decent shot at winning the ACC. They 1 game back of Duke and a half game back of Maryland (who they beat in the only meeting this year). GT at home and VT away are Wake’s two toughest remaining games. Duke has 4 more road games including UNC (will always play Duke tough), Maryland and UVA.

Beating the ACC champion would certainly be a nice boost.

Lord, beer me strength.

that’d be awesome if they could win the ACC

given the way they shoot FTs

I have a hard time feeling safe with less than double digits. But they’re up 7 with 34 seconds, so I think they can hold on

but guess it’s never easy especially if you cant shoot freethrows

I’m guessing for Sparty, Lucas a step slow might be better than 28 minutes of Lucious.
