crazy indeed

That's a good way to put it. Another question to ask is: Are we a better team relative to the competition than last year?

Looking at just one data point, last year Louisville was pretty goddamn awesome, and pretty much the worst matchup for us to face with that African Ben Wallace clone in the middle. Is there even a team this year at 2013 Louisville's level? (a fully healthy, well oiled chemisty-wise MSU team is the only thing that comes to mind for me).

Relative to the competition, we may actually be better than last year even though last year's team was clearly more talented. But either way, no matter how one looks at it, our final four equity looks pretty good this year, maybe even better than last year.

The only thing that concerns me is this team doesn't appear to be the type of team that can have a bad shooting night and still pull through (something that's kinda important when you have to win 6 in a row, since a bad shooting night is almost inevitable unless you have a guy named Glen Rice on your team). Last year's team could definitely do that. If this year's team doesn't score 70 points it feels like we're ****ed.

Anyways, hopefully we run hot, and by run hot I mean let's hope the 1 or 2 bad shooting nights we have are against a ****ty team in the first round or a team running bad themselves in that department. After all, even the best of them aren't gonna win if they shot bad against a team shooting well--a big reason why the tournament is so fun to watch and why a #16 seed is gonna win within the next 10 years.

I think we are going to win the whole ****ing thing. Not only this year, but next year too. Seriously, how nasty are we going to be next yr?

kinda depends...

SWAGstas creeping into the lottery in some mock drafts.

STAKKKK

all I can think of is

just ridiculous shooting. Keep the foot on the pedal and bury these chumps.

that looked so much like the first half of the Florida tournament game

hopefully we just run really hot for a month

Dakich is absolutely right on GR3's form.. he short arms a ton of his 3s and it comes out with no arc. The one he made you could tell was good right away because it came out with a lot more loft.

I recorded that last USA USA SWAG SHOT and put it on Facebook...responses were sparse.

thinking the same, we were so pure in that game, I feel with right MU we can get to F4 a high % of the time
