Well, it's the morning after the Big Game and the world looks dismal and dreary after MSU lost to Wisconsin, 68-64 in overtime.
Reflecting on the game, they had lots of opportunities to put it away, and they didn't. In the second half, Wisconsin didn't score for over four-and-a-half minutes. Why was the game so close? Paul Davis was having an outstanding game until his legs cramped up, with about two-and-a-half minutes to go in the game. I thought the juniors (Alan Anderson, Chris Hill and Kelvin Torbert) were doing an okay job of handling the ball and the game after Paul was out. Chris's missing that last layup and two free throws was absolutely painful to watch.
I feel bad for Chris, Paul Davis and the whole team. They did a commendable job coming back from a tough non-conference start. I just wish they could have beat the Badgers and won the Big Ten championship outright.
Tough finish.
