College basketball love, founded upon the three pillars of information, analysis and humor. Curated by Eric Angevine

  1. “The Spartans didn’t double-team Sullinger, the Buckeyes’ 6-9, 265-pound post man, in their 58-48 victory. That is because, as an ESPN feature asserted, 55 percent of Sullinger’s passes out of double teams become baskets. The Spartans weren’t going to give the Buckeyes’ outside shooters the luxury of time and space. Instead, the Spartans used rangy 6-10, 240-pound Adreian Payne, Sullinger’s former AAU teammate from Dayton, and burly 6-9, 270-pound Derrick Nix to tag-team him in the paint. They tried to put a fresher man on him again and again.” (via Dig this: Michigan State’s determination on defense unravels Jared Sullinger and the Buckeyes: Bill Livingston | cleveland.com)
