Wisconsin-Michigan State halftime

It took me about 11 minutes of game time to lose my ambivalence about this one, when the refs, in reaction to Izzo whining and MSU fans' booing, gave Neitzel a four-point play and Flowers his second foul after no contact was made.

Weird half. We've got all 26 of their big men in foul trouble but are having little success creating and converting open looks. Neitzel is playing really well - 15 so far - but they're only up two. It seems like Butch is struggling, but he is leading us with nine.

If we can keep getting the ball in the post and Flowers can space his fouls, we should be right there. Should be a tight second half.
