Spartans in the Elite 8.. again…

It wasn’t until 16:30 of the first half or so that the Spartans go their first point.  I couldn't figure out what was going on… they looked confuse.. I was worried...

But a different team emerged after half time.. these guys came out determine and on a mission..

The game in St. Louis was a home game of sorts for Northern Iowa.. every where the camera panned I saw cheering for the Panthers.. not so much for the Spartans… This had to give them a boost...  WTF

Raymar played a heck of a game, I was impressed with Korie, much to my surprise.. the young man played a great game..  Green was on a mission, even Nix was picking it up.. he still not very fast…  Durrell ended the game with a high of 19 points.. I like the way the team pulled their shit together in the second half.. They are getting tougher as a group..

Score by Periods                                                    1st        2nd           Total
Northern Iowa.................   29   23  -   52
Michigan State................   22   37  -   59

UNI  1st half shot 52%   2nd half shot 24%
Spartans 1st half shot 32% 2nd half shot 54%
For three pointers, Spartans hit 37% to UNI 25%

Spartans were able to out rebound them 26 – 32  this helped seal the victory…

The Spartan victory propels them on to a clash with Tennessee for a berth in the Final Four…  With the Spartan Chemistry coming together at the right time..

Tenn is a tougher task, that the Spartans should be able to conquer.. Spartans are an underdog..  Tennessee is giving 2 points.. Tennessee is probably to most athletic team the Spartans have faced… This will be a test…
