Wins against top 10 teams always help too.

Dear Lord I'm glad I stopped watching and just kept refreshing the game thread.

Brutal. Only positive is that we won.

We probably locked up an NCAA bid tonight, which is certainly good. But the way we're playing is definitely not good.

I'm just going to forget that even happened. Glad we got a W. Ugh.

Granted, it was MSU, but at home, with Draymond Green out most of the game because of fouls and injuries -- if there ever was a win that felt like a loss, this was it. Yeesh!

We'll get beat up in the press tomorrow, but on selection Sunday it's a big quality win that cancels out something like PSU. Also might be the one that lands us 9-9 vs. 8-10 in conf.

Still...so ugly...ILL

I can't remember an uglier win. Leonard refused to work for post position on O (although he was great on D) an Paul with an epic choke job at the line yet we still get the win.

Wow. Ugly game. As poorly as MSU played, we really should have beaten them by double figures. But we let them hang in the game with our really bad offense.

Two things I'm wondering: Why are we such a bad passing team? Why are we such a bad transition team?
