Was Duke overrated this season because they went down early in this season?
I have never seen a sports writer that is so intent on blasting the Spartans every chance he gets. What about last week when the Wolverines went do to a Mid Major? Not a peep out of you about how that team was "overrated".
Fact....MSU was not even ranked or expected to do anything this season.
Fact...MSU got a share of the Big Ten title.
Fact...MSU beat OSU two out of three times and their only lost to OSU was by one basket.
Fact...MSU won the Big Ten tournament.
Fact...MSU made it to the Sweet Sixteen.
Yeah, they lost to a very good team, how does that equate to them being overrated when they weren't even considered a contender at the beginning of the season?
Pat, you're consistently the last "analyst" to jump on the Spartan bandwagon and the first to bail.
To the above anonymous. Obviously you didn't know that Caputo is a Michigan State grad. For years he was an East Lansing homer, but after catching a lot of flak, has tried to distance himself. Trust me, he loved your comment. You're playing right into his hands.
