The Final Four Is Not On The Schedule - A Podcast Discussing Michigan State Basketball.

Rod and Sam talk about MSU's impressive comeback win on the road against the Terps.

• Who saw this second half coming?
• MSU finally dominating a game on the offensive glass
• Cassius controlling the game in the second half
• Langford's aggressiveness paying off
• Ward and JJJ with big games
• Can MSU win the B1G? Probably not.

Rod and Sam briefly discuss the game, then dive deep on the bombshell story dropped by ESPN today.

Sam and Rod are back to break down the Badgers with their trademark level of detail.

• Is this a down year or a portent of the new normal for UW?
• Wisconsin's shockingly bad offense
• Happ is still good, but not an All-American. The rest of this roster is not there yet.
• Five Keys

• MSU shoots 68% from the field!
• ...and commits 25 turnovers!
• Rod's not surprised, Sam is disappointed
• MSU dominates the glass and defensively except for Kipper Nichols' career game
• Miles explodes, and good gravy, JJJ
• Reviewing the Five Keys

MSU heads to Champaign-Urbana on Monday to take on the Illini, and Rod & Sam are here to break it down:

• Illinois has struggled this year, but is probably a slightly better team than its record
• Illinois plays fast, but they don't do it particularly well
• A lot of young guards, none of them excelling so far
• Mark Smith would not have been the answer for MSU
• UI's limited interior group
• Five Keys

MSU dominates IU, 85-57, and the boys are back to talk about:

• MSU playing like we had hoped, dominating on the glass against a smaller team
• Miles and Nick with feel-good games
• Jaren and Nick's inside-out combo
• Reviewing the five keys
