NU @ MSU - Game thread

I am going to take credit for this one. My son goes to Michigan State and so I own an MSU sweatshirt, which I put on this morning forgetting we played them tonight. The reverse jinx worked. Now I just have to go out and get a sweatshirt from every BIG team.
Pitt game was weird, but this bunch is playing a lot of good defense.
Tonight was a welcome addition of less chucking and more getting into the paint, which led to getting to the line, which led to excellent 21-24 from the line (after starting 0-2, no less). That's the formula - a handful of 3s can supplement it, sure, but you've got upperclassmen handling the ball who can get to the rim and get to the line. And you can package that with defense and rebounding to win in the toughest venue in the conference.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Tremendous defense by the team and Boo was clutch at the end of the game. Very good win tonight.
Maybe I'm dreaming, but I think after halftime we stopped doubling the low post every time the ball went in there.
Makes it a lot tougher on the 3 point shooters.
Very nice win.
