I could probably just make some names up and people would go along with it.

Smug jerk is perfect.

My wish for overtime has been answered.

Reminds me of how cool John Thomas was in the face of Brian Cardinal.

Fears again

At the same time, even though Draymond Green wasn't thuggish as a Spartan, his later behavior is associated by many fans with Michigan State. I don't know if that stain ever comes out. This Fears matter only reinforces it.

I presume that anyone--Izzo included--would not want this to be the last, lingering memory people have of him and his program.

You know what: it's not how good you are; it's how well you play. Last Sunday, the Nittany Lions played what might have been their best game of the year, and the Gophers played like they were on cold medicine. Last night, the Spartans looked hung over in the first half, and this time the Gophs...
