Michigan State's problem was that they had one ball handler on the floor at any given time period. Go back and re-watch that game and pay attention to Green and the rest of Michigan State's post players. Green could not move his feet so he played defense with his hands not to mention on every offensive position he dropped his shoulder and plowed into the lane.

However, Izzo didn't cry after the game and called it like it was. Butler played physical just like Michigan State does and MSU lost to the better team period.

“Michigan State’s problem was that they had one ball handler”

Not to mention they (MSU) were playing at about 75% with all their injuries.

I love physical ball and I have watched it again and there is no way they called a even game.
Having said that MSU beat themselves. If they had just made free throws, Butler would have been sitting home tonight.
MSU probably played their worse game of the year Saturday.

I think there are too many fouls called in basketball to begin with.
Let em play I say, but call it both ends.

“not to mention on every offensive position he dropped his shoulder and plowed into the lane”
Just a bit of an exaggeration.

By the way Butlers Hayward is a true gamer.
Good kid.
