Jon Rothstein - 

Michigan State's Nick Ward is out indefinitely with a hairline fracture in his left hand, per release. No timetable for return, but hopes to be back by the end of the regular season. Injury happened Sunday vs. Ohio State.

Never want a player to get hurt, but if MSU went into Assembly Hall at less than full strength I wouldn't complain.  I mean IU will quit at the first bit of adversity if they bother showing up at all, but still.

Ouch... that could hurt their final four chances.

Impressive watching McQuaid’s defense improving over a course of 4 years. He has turned a weakness into a strength. He is a solid defender. Sparty up 3 with 7 min to go

What’s this thread doing buried down so low? Illinois at Wisconsin is a pretty good game. I hate to say it but I really enjoy watching the Illanoisaneye play. They go balls out 40 min. They are weak offensively and Frazier takes many, many bad shots imo but, they compete man. Wisky probably takes this one at home (do they have road games?). But Illinois has certainly controlled the pace.

And yet another momentous bad call. Illinois sets a screen on the low block for Frazier coming on a baseline curl. Davidson from Wisky launches himself, head first into the screener’s chest and blasts the kid 3’ back......offensive foul, Badger ball. SMH

Underwood is a terrific Coach. I’ve seen him knocked by a couple of folks on this board. That’s just nuts. Right now the talent’s not there. But nobody in the conference is any better at creating exploitable matchups. I watch Illinois just to watch Underwood work the game. As an IU fan, I really, really hope their Admin loses patience and makes a move. If they don’t, he’ll get that deal fixed.

I completely agree. Though the talent isn’t there maybe to run what they want effectively, you can clearly see that what they want, is indeed there more often than not. I don’t know what other people see, but I see a 15 loss team that plays extremely hard all game, all positions. Absolutely depressing to think what IU could have been with even half the effort the Illinois kids give night after night.
