Spartan Basketball News and Analysis
For the second time in a matter of a couple weeks this season, the Spartans tangled against the Gophers. Once again, this game could have gone either way. But senior leader Drew Neitzel manned up big time, pumping in 19 points, including 5 3-pointers! Drew looked like a man amongst boys, bringing flashbacks of his supreme greatness from last season. Now that this is Big Ten season, I am getting the sense that he is really pumped up looking to make history, and go out a champion. Yes!
In front of a packed house in icy and frigid Minneapolis, Tubby’s Gophers played another tough game against MSU. The Spartans looked very ugly once again this season, turning the ball over 18 times!! Unreal. I know the freshmen Kalin Lucas and Chris Allen played great games, scoring a combined 23 points, but they also turned the damn ball over 6 times. If these young bucks can get the TO ratio down, this club has a good shot at winning the Big Ten. If not, then Bucky and Indiana are going to snare it from our grasp.
Next on deck for the Sparty men is feeble Northwestern (6-9, 0-5 Big Ten) in Chicagoland.
