Game Review, Siéntese usted Diablo

MSU dismantled the Badgers 69-55 in a game that smacked of the good old days of Cleaves, Mo Pete and the boys. Bo Ryan would have shed a single manly tear, except he can't cry. His tears immediately turn to steam because his skin is a constant 322 degrees.

WE SHALL CELEBRATE OUR GOOD TIMES. MSU swept Wisconsin for the first time since the 2001 season. Justice is done, evil is punished and the only thing left is to do is figure out the how's and the why's.

The stifling defense. It continues. MSU held Wisconsin to 55 points, and has not allowed more than 60 points to a team since the January 14th loss to Northwestern. Wisconsin has been excellent on defense in Big Ten play giving up 56 ppg going into tonight and not allowing a team to shoot better than 50 percent from the field. So for MSU to score 69 points really shows how well the offense played.

You know what else shows how well MSU played. The actual numbers!





Turnovers were kept in check. Don't need as many offensive rebounds when your Effective FG% is through the roof against a defense as good as Wisconsin. I was worried I might run out of chart for how high that bar is. FTR looked great too. Statistically, a VERY sound game.

This team is playing basketball that is fun to watch. Joyous to watch, even. If this team doesn't peak too early they could go from a team picked to finish in the middle of the Big Ten pack to another of the patented Izzo bracket killers.

This is my first review using Tempo-Free stats, so if I screwed up, do me a solid and let me know.
