I love how BQ was sympathetic to Illinois’ plight but then got fired up when thinking about their awful online fans.

I feel like BQ was a bit inconsistent with his logic.
On one hand he was talking about how MSU still isn’t playing that great citing Watts’ enigmatic performance, their efficiency numbers in this stretch, etc.
Then fifteen minutes later he’s talking about how screwed team X will be when they get matched up with MSU in round 1. I think that was the narrative side of Quinn coming out there.

I think it’s more about the perception that fans of a six seed would have when their first round opponent in the Dance is revealed to be an 11 seed MSU that seems to be getting its mojo back. If they watched the games, they should want Sparty and not want Winthrop, but the name on the jersey will make those fans want the opposite.

Is there some talk here about a potential rematch in the B1G tourney? Maybe I am wrong, but I see the UM potentially running all over MSU.
