What a boring tourney this year. All the #1,2, and 3 seeds make the sweet 16. 2 #4, a #5, and "Cinderella", #12 Arizona are all that is left.

This is the worst tourney I've ever seen. I don't care about anything left except Michigan State. Once they're gone I'm done with this tourney.

Midwest Regional: Michigan State 67, Kansas 62
Spartans prevail over Kansas in nail-biter
Eric Lacy / The Detroit News

INDIANAPOLIS -- Michigan State has plenty of work to do Friday night if it wants to stay alive in the NCAA Tournament.

The Spartans trailed Kansas 36-29 at halftime in the tournament's Midwest Regional semifinal at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Goran Suton led MSU with 13 first-half points, while the Jayhawks' Sherron Collins had 12.

Tom Izzo's squad missed 16 of its first 23 shots and had trouble taking care of the ball.

Kansas out-rebounded Michigan State in the first half and got a strong performance from 6-foot-11 center Cole Aldrich, who had 10 points by the break.

MSU entered the postseason leading the country in rebounding margin ( 10).

The winner plays Sunday against Louisville, the tournament's overall No. 1 seed. .

Rick Pitino's Cardinals destroyed Arizona 103-64 in Friday's first semifinal.

'Michigan State poppin' their collars now'
Posted by Mike Trogan March 30, 2009 02:51AM

Apparently CBS announcer Gus Johnson thought that the Michigan State basketball team had transformed into the popular guy/villain from every 1980's teen movie during the second half of today's game.

Shortly after the buzzer sounded and the Spartans had secured a berth in the Final Four, ESPN analyst Digger Phelps was seen storming off the set.

He headed off to find a janitor closet to hide from facing the fact that a team he picked to lose in every round was now on their way to Detroit. Shouts of "they're still not a good team" and "I know what I am talking about, I've watched highlights" eventually deteriorated into incoherent ramblings containing something that sounded like "79" and "it should have been me."

Upon reaching the closet, Phelps found it already occupied by malnourished Memphis fans who had spent the last week in hiding rather than face the reality that their team was a fraud.

Reports from the Louisville locker room have senior forward Terrance Williams still staring into the crowd watching his second half block of Goran Suton's three point attempt. Teammates and coaches attempted to break him out of his trance like glare by reminding him that he had just failed to show up in the biggest game of his career but were unsuccessful.

In a related note attempts are being made to identify the individuals that constituted the 67 percent vote for Michigan in a Free Press poll back in December.

Quote :
Detroit Free Press, December 28: Last week's question: What is the best men's college basketball team in the state? (Results from more than 5,000 votes): 67.4% Michigan 24.6% Michigan State 7.2% Oakland 0.8%

Once identified those individuals will have their right to comment on college basketball revoked. Anything other than asking what time the game is on or what the score is will be strictly prohibited by said individuals.

Some of you will say win with class or take the high road, but sorry, that can be left to Coach Izzo and the players. Petty, shallow and vindictive is the way I roll. Firm subscriber to the theory that a major part of winning is the joy that comes from ramming down the naysayers' throats.

That is all for now. Make sure you check back tomorrow when I will have links to real news written by actual professionals.

Final Four: Michigan State 82, Connecticut 73
Spartans stun Huskies, will play for national title
Eric Lacy and Tom Markowski / The Detroit News

Detroit-- Michiganians, the party isn't over yet.

Tom Izzo's Michigan State team embraced its underdog role and outmuscled top-seeded Connecticut, 82-73, on Saturday night before a Final Four-record -- and decidedly partial -- crowd of 72,456 fans at Ford Field.

"Detroit has been unbelievable to us and the best is yet to come. We'll see you Monday night," Spartans coach Tom Izzo yelled to the crowd in a postseason interview by CBS.

With key defensive stops, rebounds in traffic and balanced scoring, the Spartans began to pull away with less than four minutes left.

Kalin Lucas drilled a wide open 3-pointer and Raymar Morgan converted on a two-handed breakaway dunk two possessions later for an 11-point lead at the 3:20 mark.

Lucas led MSU with 21 points and five assists, Morgan had 18 and seven rebounds and Korie Lucas added 11 first-half points off the bench for the Spartans (31-6).

Freshman Draymond Green also was a spark with eight points, including a mid-range jumper with about five minutes left for a 62-54 advantage.

Down 11 with less than two minutes left, Connecticut cut its deficit to three after a two-handed Stanley Robinson putback slam.

Durrell Summers, however, became a hero in matter of seconds with a layup while fouled and free throw for a 77-71 lead and defensive rebound with about a minute left.

Lucas then buried one of two free throws before Morgan grabbed another rebound and drilled both of his free throws for a nine-point lead.

Hasheem Thabeet scored 17 to lead the Huskies (31-5), while Robinson and A.J. Price each scored 15. Robinson also had 13 rebounds.

Travis Walton said Thursday he thought this matchup with the Huskies would be "football without pads" and he was right. It was a spirited and aggressive affair.

Late in the first half, a minor scuffle broke out underneath the Huskies basket after Jeff Adrien drew a foul on Walton on a drive. While Walton was on the floor, 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabeet and MSU's Marquise Gray locked arms and jabbed at each other.

Morgan then jumped in the crowd before officials tried to break up the potential melee.

This tense moment appeared to set a tone Izzo loved.

"They executed very well," UConn coach Jim Calhoun said of the Spartans. It was Calhoun's first loss in the Final Four; he's now 4-1 with two national championships.

It was the second Big East giant the Spartans have knocked off in the last week. On Sunday, in the Midwest Regional championship game, MSU beat Louisville, another No. 1 seed.

Monday night's game will include a 30-year anniversary celebration of the 1979 championship game between MSU and Indiana State. Magic Johnson's Spartans beat Larry Bird's Sycamores that year in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Johnson and Bird are expected to present Monday's game ball in an on-court tribute.

MSU's other national championship came in 2000.

Man in the mask

Morgan's new mask definitely appeared to be making a difference against Connecticut.

A week after breaking his nose, Michigan State's junior forward exploded with a team-high 11 first half points.

Morgan was so active early on that he took three shots and recorded a steal less than four minutes into the game.

Morgan received a new, form-fitting protective mask because the first one he used -- in the Midwest Regional final against Louisville -- couldn't stay firmly on his face. He ditched that mask in the second half and finished the game scoreless in 10 minutes.

Morgan broke his nose in the first half of last week's victory over Kansas when he received an inadvertent elbow from teammate Delvon Roe underneath the basket.

Familiar face

Former Michigan men's basketball coach Bill Frieder got a nice hook-up from MSU coach Tom Izzo for Saturday's game.

Izzo gave Frieder a few tickets to sit in the stands for the semifinals.

"Bo said I'm not a 'Michigan Man' so I'm rooting for Michigan State," Frieder said about a half-hour before the start of the game.

Frieder, now a radio analyst for Westwood One, was making reference to the now famous line uttered by then-Michigan athletic director Bo Schembechler. In 1989, on the eve of the NCAA Tournament, Frieder, then the head coach at Michigan, accepted the same position at Arizona.

Schembechler said at the time that only a Michigan Man would coach Michigan and gave the job to Frieder assistant Steve Fisher.

Fisher and the Wolverines went on to win the 1989 national title.

Tense moment

A minor scuffle broke out with 1:55 left in the first half after Travis Walton was slapped with his second foul.

The exchange began after Huskies forward Jeff Adrien drew Walton's foul on a drive to the basket. UConn's 7-foot-3 center Thabeet and MSU's Marquise Gray both locked arms and jabbed at each other while Walton was on the floor.

Morgan also yelled at Thabeet while officials tried to break up the crowd.

Officials delayed the game briefly to watch a reply on a video monitor before play resumed. No technical fouls were called.

Walton banged up

Walton, a senior, went to the bench at 17:03 mark of the first half with what appeared to be a right leg injury. He appeared to get tangled up in the paint with Thabeet while Price attempted a successful 3-pointer.

The Big Ten defensive player of the year returned at the 12:06 mark and didn't appear to run or walk with a limp.

Connecticut comeback

The Spartans started the game with a 9-2 lead but trailed 19-16 midway through the first half. Thabeet capped a 7-2 scoring run with a layup while fouled by Idong Ibok. He mad the free throw.

UConn surged while MSU used an unexpected lineup of Ibok, Lucious, Green, Summers and Chris Allen.

Allen missed his first five shots.

School spirit

For the first time in Tournament history, the NCAA gave each Final Four represented school about 400 floor-seat tickets for students to purchase. Students began filling each section once Ford Field's doors opened at about 4 p.m.

Magic Johnson and MSU football coach Mark Dantonio attended Saturday's game and sat behind MSU's bench.

Bold greeting

About 16 minutes before tip-off, footage of Kalin Lucas was shown on Ford Field's video screens at each end of the venue.

Lucas, wearing a green away jersey, welcomed Spartans fans and confidently said, "We're going to get it done."

Slam dunks

* MSU players held an impromptu dunk contest about 40 minutes before tip-off. It included a 180-degree jam by Summers.

* Most of Ford Field was filled about 30 minutes before tip-off.
