Sam Darnold had the 3rd longest time to throw this season (3.08s) and in Week 18 (3.18s)

Seems the defensive gameplan was "Force fast throws", which paid off in a big way (43.9 COMP%, 15.7% below expected)
Entering week 18, the Lions were 16th in the NFL in calling cover-0 on the season. Dead average.

After last night, Detroit went all the way up to 6th lol

Western Michigan's Donovan Williams was 6 of 6 from the charity stripe, while the rest of the team went 1-11

Hard to win a basketball game when your opponent can essentially foul for free

Guess the football gods decided this Bills-Lions game is gonna be decided by TDs and TDs alone, no FGs in this game no sir

Absolutely incredible showdown between MSU and Iowa women's basketball, this Spartan defense is a MENACE

Maryland's win probability hit 99.9% with 2:12 left in the first half and didn't budge for the rest of the game 😶

Maryland is absolutely BODYING OSU off the ball:

+4 rebounding differential
+4 steal diff
+11 turnover diff!

That plus shooting 41.7% from 3 is how you go up 50-17 at half

Feels like Jerry Jeudy has been torching Levi Wallace this whole game. Very interested to check out the advanced stats once this is over to confirm

First time watching a Broncos game this year and man, Bo Nix can really sling that thing

Thoughts from MSU's upset of UNC:

* Stifling Defense: UNC didn't make a FG until 5.5 minutes into the first half
* Youthful Inexperience: MSU had some big turnovers and defensive breakdowns that let UNC send it to OT

HUGE win though, Izzos got another team that can make noise in March

Tonight the Celtics have MADE as many 3s as the Spartans ATTEMPTED (21).

If they hit 2 more, they'll have made as many as MSU has made this entire season!

There's still 9 minutes left in the game!!

Spartans beat the Buffs despite shooting <10% (2-21!) from 3.

Going to be a really interesting matchup against Memphis tomorrow, who shot 54.5% (12-22) from 3 to upset #2 UConn

I know you can't compare college and NBA, but the whiplash of being a Celtics fan (18.8 3PM/G, 1st in NBA) and an MSU fan (4.6 3PM/G, 9th worst in D1) is crazy

My heart is unwell but there's truly no greater way to watch soccer than with a liter boot of beer

Watching Barbra Banda or Marta driving towards your goal feels like watching Mahomes or Brady get the ball back with 2 minutes left

I don't have data for this rn, but I'm convinced the football gods hate Purdue for some reason

Immaculate emotional progression:

Beautiful Aidan Chiles fade to Montorie Foster -> Montorie Foster gets caught in the kicking net like a cartoon villain -> Absolute dime to Nathan Carter for the TD

I could not create a better name for an MSU defensive tackle than Maverick Hansen
November 23, 2024 at 1:59 AM
So excited to watch Aidan Chiles continue to develop throughout this season:

* First 5 games: 8 INTs, 57.02% Completion pct
* Last 5 games: 3 INTs, 66.04% Completion pct

Welp time to see what the 14th worst FBS offense (MSU) can do against the 4th worst FBS defense (Purdon't)

Allagash Ski House is a lot lighter than you'd expect for a winter beer, but it pairs well with the sicko matchup of Steelers - Browns

I'm convinced that Coen Carr can double-jump IRL #MSUBasketball

Pocari sweat is pretty good, and I honestly can't say that it's name is any weirder than Gatorade

First time flying out of Dulles and I have to say it's very pretty in a late 1950s, early 60s kinda way:

Clean concrete shapes and massive open spaces with very little color
