Somehow a guy shooting 28% from 3 pt range is 89% from the line this year.
It was after they called a foul on Fears so it was over anyway
The baseline official called Yaxel out - then after he called it MSU ball another official comes over and says he had a foul on Fears with a push- pretty awful call given how late it was and it wasn’t much of a push at all- so Izzo went nuts, I don’t blame him on that occasion
Yes he is moving in the way of another player on the move initiating a collision searching for foul calls. He should be the one getting them. I'm glad we don't have anyone on our team pulling that crap.
Yeah, not a great comment on my end. I meant 19. Fat fingered my post and didn't double check. Lol My bad there. Another corrected me and said 18. In any event, not a great start.
Sorry about that. Meant 19, which I initially put 29 because my I fat fingered and didn't reread. I did think it was 19, but I stand corrected in any event. Lol. My bad man.
I keep hoping we try to fix this. We were once truly known as “The House of Pain” for a reason. The crowd at our games now sounds like an average high school game on a broadcast
.
I can’t stand the way Fears baits fouls and Izzo works the refs nonstop.
I know UM/MSU was a more defensive minded game, but our game with Purdue felt like such a higher level basketball game. If we play to that level I think we can beat both those teams. Easier said than done though. Izzo will have his guys try to bait fouls on Keaton just like he did with Kasparas last year.

I guess it's bubble day in the B1G. Wisconsin, tOSU, UCLA, IU, USC all in that 8-11 seed range. Plus Washington can still rack up some wins to get in the mix too.
Fears game is made for the blacktop, playground. Trashy player for a whiny coach
You’re giving him way too much credit….he can’t jump over a deck of playing cards.
How so?
Just looks good on tv but crappy otherwise?

Virginia Tech has a very underrated ole gym. Any “old barn” is automatically gonna get bonus points from me, of course, but those stands look steep and the setup is cool.
For the love of all things good and holy PLEASE can UC fire Wes Miller
They are such a miserable watch

I believe he’s already reached the rock bottom of embarrassment thanks to Drake and his mom

Attended one game there several years ago. Very retro. Great venue for a small "wanna be" program.
Believe I recall VT leading Duke that night for the entire game before losing late.

I watched the Michigan-MSU game on delay last night... was rooting for MSU because I thought it would benefit Illinois, but I swear Fears made it next to impossible and I found myself actually wanting MSU to lose. Came on here to see if anyone else was annoyed by his antics and was not disappointed.
I would like to see the stats on how many "fouls" Fears draws per game. The "hitting the brakes" when he is dribbling, the jumping sideways into people or moving in unnatural ways when he has the ball, the jumping into people on layup attempts while using his off arm to either shove the defender or drag him down after the shot attempt, the 5-6 flop attempts that the refs actually didn't call, to their credit... plus all the smack talk that appears to be going on the whole game. Pretty sure he is the player I dislike watching the most in college basketball right now.
