Nebrasketball Game #9- @ Michigan State (Sunday, December 3- 3:30 FS1)

Tom Izzo is usually hard to please, consistently finding fault with his teams following victories.

After No. 3 Michigan State beat No. 5 Notre Dame 81-63 on Thursday night, he looked and sounded uncharacteristically happy after a game.

"I shouldn't complain about one thing," Izzo said.

And that, even for Izzo, would have been hard to do.

Joshua Langford scored 12 of his 17 points in the first half to help the Spartans lead 46-26 and they had to answer only one rally to earn a lopsided victory.

The Spartans (6-1) have won five straight, including a rout against then-No. 9 North Carolina to win a PK80 Invitational bracket, after losing to top-ranked Duke.

"Since that game, we've rebounded a little better," Izzo said.

Michigan State had 42 rebounds, twice as many as the Irish.

"They torched us," Notre Dame's Bonzie Colson said.

Well. This should be hilarious.

 
20 point dogs sheesh.  MSU had a big win over ND and one less day of rest.  Somehow we always keep it close against sparty so I think we cover.

This is a Sunday afternoon game after a HUGE night game win vs a top 5 team.  This is going to be a sleepwalk for the first 15 minutes.

Man I’d hate for Tim to have to see this team when they aren’t “sleepwalking”

 
Pretty fortunate to only be down 12 after shooting 20% from the field. 

Need to play better defense. No steals or blocks in the first half. I was worried that we wouldnt have someone that could consistently drive the the basket this year. Palmer and Watson need to get into the lane more.

 
Clean up the 2nd/3rd/4th chance points for Sparty and there is a chance this gets competitive.  Also keep attacking the rim and limit poor, quick shots.  That’s a lot to ask, but doable.  

Lets hope the the energy level is high coming out of the break
