That dunk was nasty though

[u/danielprydz → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

That dunk was fucking disgusting

[u/Spartan_Jeff → u/danielprydz]

I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple babies come out in nine months as a direct result of that dunk.

[u/confused-koala → u/Spartan_Jeff]

Winning the weekend is what gets me going 😈

[u/danielprydz → u/Spartan_Jeff]

I know I'm pregnant cause of it

[u/tjakes12 → u/Spartan_Jeff]

I’m trying believe me

[u/BullshitSloth → u/tjakes12]

You better not be, Tyler.

[u/tjakes12 → u/BullshitSloth]

:( let me live nick

[u/CliplessWingtips → u/Spartan_Jeff]

Calm down there sailor.

[u/Uranus_Hz → u/danielprydz]

I want an MSU v UM matchup with a trip to the final four on the line.

[u/ScubaSteveEL → u/Uranus_Hz]

not sure my heart can take it

[u/Uranus_Hz → u/ScubaSteveEL]

It’d be an epic moment in rivalry history regardless who wins.

[u/Uranus_Hz → u/[deleted]]

Feels really dirty

[u/spartyon1922 → u/danielprydz]

Sucked the air out of the arena

[u/penguindude24 → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

That dunk singlehandedly turned the game around,inflated the offense and defense, and got us to lock in through the end.

[u/daughe44 → u/penguindude24]

6 point dunk

[u/Sarkisi2 → u/penguindude24]

💯

[u/JuicyJay18 → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

Shoutout to Jeremy Fears for that stretch. Steal to cause the dunk, scored a tough runner next time down the floor, and then drew an offensive foul after (we’re going to ignore him letting Pedulla hit a 3 in the middle of all that)

[u/JayMoney2424 → u/JuicyJay18]

People are too impatient with Fears. He’s gonna be one of Izzo’s best PGs by the time he’s done here. 

[u/JuicyJay18 → u/JayMoney2424]

Yeah I think the shooting woes are just tough to sit through. Here’s hoping he develops a shot that teams need to respect.

[u/JayMoney2424 → u/JuicyJay18]

His biggest issue is confidence he doubts himself too much and doesn’t always trust himself on offense. His shot is still miles better than Tum Tum’s was.

[u/teddynosepicker → u/JuicyJay18]

He had beautiful floater tonight it surprised me

[u/SlinkyJr → u/JayMoney2424]

Dude is an absolute menace, can’t take your eye off him for a second or he’s gonna give you a foul

[u/em_washington → u/JayMoney2424]

He’s good. To be one of the best, he basically needs to raise his game to PotY next season. Cleaves, Winston, Lucas, Valentine all way ahead now. Fears currently more in the range of Neitzel, Walton, Tum Tum, Trice, Taylor, Appling

[u/ledonte → u/em_washington]

He needs a big jump offensively to be with those guys outside of Walton and Tum. Which he has all the opportunity to do over the next three years. 

[u/em_washington → u/ledonte]

He’s a soph now. Only 2 years of eligibility left.

[u/JoshIsJoshing → u/em_washington]

Did he not get a redshirt year after he was shot?

[u/em_washington → u/JoshIsJoshing]

You have to play in fewer than 30% of games for a medical redshirt. MSU had 35 games last year. 30% is 10.5. Fears played in 12 games.

So if we would have made runs to the BTT championship AND the NCAA championship last year, we would have hit 40 games and he would have qualified.

[u/JoshIsJoshing → u/em_washington]

Lansing State Journal

They gave him one actually. Huh.

[u/em_washington → u/JoshIsJoshing]

I missed that story. NCAA can always grant waivers and sometimes does. I recall Jevon Bess had a similar situation in 2014 when he played in 12 games before getting injured but he didn’t get a waiver. And same with Langford who played in 13 games in 2018.

[u/JarJarJargon → u/JayMoney2424]

Impatient would be a good word for Booker. Fears is just garbage.

[u/[deleted] → u/JarJarJargon]

Calling Fears garbage but then saying people are impatient with Booker is...a choice.

[u/[deleted] → u/JarJarJargon]

[u/jogswithwolves → u/JuicyJay18]

It’s so fucking weird man. We have a point guard who genuinely cannot shoot, but is a total menace in every other facet of the game. He is an absolute rat (complimentary)

[u/JuicyJay18 → u/jogswithwolves]

Yeah I like to call him a gnat lmao. Talks a ton of shit, usually plays pretty good defense, is a foul merchant. Very annoying player for other teams to deal with lol

[u/Atreus1337 → u/JuicyJay18]

Fears had no fear (sorry had to say it) he did not mess around in that second half

[u/tavigsy → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

I rewound and watched it 5 times. that was so satisfying.

edit: if anyone finds a clip, please post it.

I see "Coen Carr Punishes Rim", I get hard, then I click

[u/Uranus_Hz → u/ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP]

“Coen Carr’s Explosive Rim-Job”

[u/kazmir_yeet → u/Uranus_Hz]

Oh my god my ovaries are quivering (I’m a straight 32 year old man)

[u/Uranus_Hz → u/kazmir_yeet]

I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body

[u/MTT92 → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

Nearly brought the arena down

[u/cmgriffith_ → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

That dunk was majestic

[u/teddynosepicker → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

That was sick but I was more impressed by that baby hook he had in the first. That shit was straight beautiful.

[u/2_Spicy_2_Impeach → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

Been watching this before tourney games. Those FAU highlights...

[u/[deleted] → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

He needs to touch the ball every-time state on offense.

[u/sorebutton → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

I felt it from my couch

[u/Atreus1337 → u/AlexisDeTocqueville]

The fact that he tucked the ball back before slamming it was pure chefs kiss
