Did I hear the color guy say that he barked advice to one of the MSU players to be physical with Motley in the 2nd half? Even if obvious advice, that can't possibly be appropriate.
LOL Dakich is awesome. I love how much people hate him. I think he's very good at his job.

This team seems to be comfortable playing from behind it half, making the appropriate adjustments, and burning teams with their depth and high basketball IQ.

Didn't offer an opinion on Dakich either way. Just asking where the boundaries are suppose to be with sports announcers.

Al didn't go after that rebound tough enough. Resulting in a foul and two free throws for Sparty.

I have no idea. I don't have a problem with it, seems like a really small deal. I was just sharing some random thoughts on Dakich.

FT good, 2nd good. 42-37 BU

nice D down low forced a bad MSU miss, BU ball

Manu drives and is fouled on the floor, he looks better after hitting 2 shots.

Sparty is going to make a run. Have to keep the effort for the next 12 minutes that we saw the last 8 minutes.

Bears on a 23-8 run to open the 2nd half.

I think Tom Izzo will have a whole new respect for Scott Drew, Baylor, and the big 12 depth after this game.

If I was Izzo that guy would sit for a minute and get his ass chewed. He got destroyed down low. No effort there at all after he didn't get the rebound.

Excellent move to the basket from acuil.
