Providence vs. Michigan State

[CyFan61]

On ESPN2 right now. Providence with a lead late in the first half. Playing at a neutral site in California.

With MSU being one of three teams ranked higher than Iowa State, a loss here for them would be relevant (at least to people like me who want to see our meaningless ranking improve).

#3 tomorrow is still possible if the Friars pull this off.

Would love an upset here and to see #3 iowa state

I'm guessing MSU pulls away in the second half

I wouldn't be surprised if this game went either way. Kris Dunn might be the best player in CBB.

Michigan State up 2 at the half. Kris Dunn the best player on the floor throughout but MSU better elsewhere. Nearly halfway to a triple-double.

Assuming many havent already submitted their ballots.

Providence has looked good when I've seen them this season, so far. Beat Arizona, if they get MSU, too — they ought to be a top 15 team, at least (would be 7-0).

I think there will be some of that, but enough will wait so that if MSU loses ISU will pass them.

Providence has a good forward in Bentil and Dunn makes him look good too. Friars up 3 with 11 minutes to play.

There was a pretty decent points gap last week between MSU and ISU (about the same as between 4th and 10th). Dunno if thatd be made up. Could get us up to 4th in the coaches though.

I think you're overestimating how many people will have chosen to vote before MSU plays a game against a NPOY contender.

Kris Dunn picks up his 4th foul with 8 minutes left. Providence 54, Michigan State 51.

Michigan State is doing everything they can to lose this game. Ouch.

If there's anything ive learned the past few years, its that there are a lot of bad voters out there.

 

[cyclones500]

I realize the realism of "saving" Dunn with four fouls w/ 5 minutes left, but Providence may have lost this one by doing so.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Lol looks like OU out there

 

[isurock]

boo michigan state up 5

Imagine that, suddenly they have a two possession lead. I spoke too soon.
