How is an 8/9 an upset?

This is ugly. Mich St is far more superior, faster, talented than Valpo.. Valpo had to get off to a good start and missed their opportunity when Mich St only had 8 points with 11 min to go in first half. Idk how Memphis will handle the physicality of them if we advance today..

Let's hope that we as a top 15 team (USA Today Coach's Poll) can exhibit a similar performance against St. Marys.

I hope "if" we get to the next round we don't have these same refs that are calling today's game. MSU virtually playing a home game and the refs are calling it that way. Just before the half number 2 for MSU came over the back (an obvious foul) NO CALL: Nix flopped: CHARGE. Same play on the other end: BLOCK. If I had been Valpo's coach there would have been a technical right then and there. It's a shame the way some of the officials "make sure" the favored team wins.

Oh no! A grammar nazi!

Valpo is way out of its league... Too much

MSU runs some good stuff.

Bucknell now up by 4 over Butler.

I heard the same talk. Just asking how could analyst consider it an upset?

The Tigers would have to play their best game of the year to beat them.

I agree. But, I don't expect our shooters to go 2 for 12 with as many as 6 open looks.

**FINAL**
Second Round of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship,
(3) Michigan State- 65 (26-8)
(14) Valparaiso- 54 (26-8)

If they are playing their best too, then yeah.

But we are very close team imo. No doubt they are more tested. But we have the talent and a pretty good staff and coach too.

And our guards are better than theirs.

We can beat them.

The contrast between valpo and Memphis is tremendous.

MSU is a good team but.......Valpo didn't show up so its hard to say if it was MSU defense or just Valpo laying down
