We tried to make their non-scorers score, like Walton, and unfortunately for us, they did.

As much as it sucks to lose, we hung with a top 10 team and made them sweat. Izzo looked so relieved that they pulled that one out. If Taj and Demar come back,
we could have some scary depth next year in the front court and that excites me. We gave them all they could handle and at the end of the day, that is all you
can ask for.

Agreed, it was a great effort but it is really frustrating to get this close. We matched up really well with them and had a chance to really win this game. Got
to love the effort from the guards, but some interesting decisions late in the game coupled with some bad calls early on our big guys cost us. Taj's 4th
foul was horrendous. Eventually it would have been nice to switch up the defense on Walton who continued to kill us with mid-range jumper. That said, it was
a great run. It will be interesting to see who comes back next year.

Very proud of this team. Great effort. Im a little disappointed that the refs missed some calls, but MSU played a great game and Walton stepped up big for
them.

Who comes back next year. Hopefully the guys realize what we could do next year and decide to come back, but we could lose Taj, Demar, and Hackett which would
be painful.

I don't see Daniel leaving. He might be NBA material, but his stock won't go down if he comes back. I think he sticks around for his senior year.

..are second round choices this year. Thats an unguaranteed contract.
Taj might still go but Hackett is a lower second round choice which is a crapshoot. |

I suspect Demar and Taj are gone. Demar's always been a one and done guy and who knows if he's kept up with school. I think he really could use another
year rather than drafting on potential but he's first round material already per most everyone so it's hard to not make the jump. He's still got a
lot to learn to enhance his athleticism but... Taj at 25 may feel like his stock won't get better than it is now and he'll likely have less supporting
cast next year. Daniel I don't know. I figure he may see the supporting cast as an issue as well and bolt, but hope that is not the case.

Remember, Hackett's age is in his favor | #9 | ||

He left high school a year early after the death of Ryan, so he does not have that baggage. I don't think he is even 21 yet.
The only reason Gibson would leave now would be because of his age and he might feel the clock is ticking. I fully see him declaring so that he can go and see where he stacks up and what he has to work on should he return. Demar I put a 50/50 right now. He sees the value of a second year ala Harden and Griffin. I am 100% sure he will declare, but if he doesn't feel he will be a top 10, he will return. If he falls in the top 5 he is gone. Between 6/10, probably gone. The way he has spoken all year, I just don't think it is a cut and dry as many feel it is. And for all of you that think I am out of my mind and it is obvious he is gone, I have two words for that opinion: Taylor Mays. |

Came together as a team, gave 100% effort, and performed above ability in the last couple of weeks. Can't wait for next year! |
