I held my tongue about Izzo but after his words I acknodedge he is a great coach but a POS as a person. I am not surprised Michigan State has the biggest scandal on their hands since Joe Paterno. Go be complacent while your collegues feel up young girls you sad man. You won the game but Your athletic dept. sucks and puts winning above morals. Go choke on a piece of beef you A^^hole.

I always respected MSU and rooted for them. Izzo made a fool of himself in the postgame presser and I will now root hard against them. Talk about a classless POS.

Very proud of Bison. Two thoughts:
-Davis needs to be more vocal as game goes on. Typically sits on bench when guys getting mugged.
-In send half when Mich St. Bigs were beating up Bison, who was sent in- 6' 2" Nate Jones? Love Nate but 2 minutes later Bison down by 14. Sestina had a good game when he played. Good coach rolled the dice as he did during season. Great coach would have put Sestina in to offset the State front line.

But enough venting about Izzo’s whining. Congratulations to the seniors for a great career. They played very respectably tonight and represented Bucknell well.

I’m out on Davis right now. It seemed like he didn’t want to win a winnable game starting with cutting off his nose to spite his face with Bruce, but it was just as bad in-game. Between the passiveness on the bench and continuing to call Nana’s number despite being clearly over-matched it’s almost like he wasn’t watching the game.

Combine that with the lack of recruiting success for next year’s team I don’t think we ever have to worry about losing him to a bigger program. We might have a couple leans years after next year.

Izzo is a hunk of crap. We all know this. On the court, Michigan State won. They shot lights out and that was the story of the game. Beyond the Nana laying an egg and Zack fouling out on bullhsit calls, they didn’t miss. And that's why they won.

I have met Izzo twice and amazed at his comments. Hate to say it since he is my age, but seems to be getting old and not managing his comments well.

Yea, he sucks. They just played the team lots of experts are picking to win it all almost even and you're bitching about his coaching ability. Go troll somebody else's board.

The first half was good basketball. The second half was simply bad. Stephen brown ended with 20 points but he wasn’t relevant. Kimbal was invisible. Zach kept us in this game. And the technical foul was a joke.

Oh and let’s talk about the refs. Literally one of the worst crews bucknell had this year. This was a physcial game...but touch fouls got called. Honestly, the game was embarrasing for the refs.

But let’s be honest. The first 10 mins of the second half were embarassing. You want to win those games? You play them play to play in the second half. We were terrible during that time period. It wasn’t a 4 point game, it was a 12 point game.

Troll someone else’s board? I’m being serious. I don’t need anyone to validate me or to refute me.

I’m just of the opinion that he didn’t make decisions leading up to or in-game that gave us the best chance to win tonight. Just because we’re a 14 point underdog doesn’t mean we should wait until we’re down 18 to try something different.

Couple of thoughts from Detroit - McNaughton and Tyree were at the pre-game reception and game. Fun to see them. Have never seen ND as irate as he was after the T on Zach. Ridiculous way to take our star out of the game. Great turnout by Bison faithful. Team came over after the game to thank the crowd. A nice moment. Tough matchup and night but no quit in them.

I’m proud of the team, the coach, the game they played and the fact that they never quit. The other team was better guys, and they certainly “ outbigged” is. Nana did not lay an egg, he was against a host of bigs the likes of which Bucknell has not seen before. The first two shots he was forced way beyond his range, and virtually everything he put up was tipped or influenced by players that were bigger, stronger and fresher, since they were able to rotate their bigs.

Nana laid an egg. He couldn’t handle the ball on multiple occasions. Parse it any way you want. Nana is a great player and accomplished Bison but this was a terrible game for him.

The officiating was atrocious.

Coach should've utilized Sestina more, my same thought after last year's tournament loss.

Coach had great game; team had great game vs. a giant in college basketball. Bucknell can be proud of this season!

Only question is: why was Coach not prepared to play Sestina AND Foulland vs. a team filled with great front court players? Didn't need this in Patriot League, but definitely needed both on court at same time in this game?

It didn't happen? Will always wonder WHY?

Semi-pro program won. And Izzo won’t care this crew is pumping gas in 10’years.





You don't know anything about the program. Just sound like a cryass sore loser.

He was a spastic goofball when I saw him as an underclassman, and saw zero improvement.
