Is MSU heading to the NIT?

It sounds wrong to even say, considering they are coming off of back to back final fours and were the pre season #2 ranked team in the nation, but after a 20 point beat down to a terrible Iowa team, you have to wonder. They are 13-9 overall and 5-5 in the big ten, and besides Iowa, PSU and Michigan, their other losses are to Duke, Texas, Cuse, UCONN, and at Purdue and at ILL, all good teams who are either still ranked or right there. But Minn, Wisconsin and Washington are the only wins they have against decent teams. The bigger problem, they still have to go at Wisconsin, at OSU, at Michigan, at Minn, and play Purdue and Ill at home, besides PSU and Iowa, who they lost to both on the road. So they could finish 2-6 in their last 8, which would make them 7-11 in conference and 15-15 overall, which couldn't get them in to the big dance, unless they win the big ten tournament, which they still have the talent and the coaching to do, but they need to make some jump shots and their team chemistry needs to improve, and fast.

Michigan on the other hand who was close against #1 OSU at home will be playing them at OSU in less then a hour. It would be a huge win for Michigan if they can do it, but I don't see OSU loosing at home.

Wings started the second half of the NHL season by giving up 5 goals, lucky for them, their scored 7. Howard needs to step up, can't give up 4 goals a game all the time and win.

Pistons had a tough loss by ten at home to the Bobcats, these are the games they have to win if they want to make the playoffs, they are only 3 and 1/2 back, well now 4 games back from those bottom two seeds, and have a lot of home games coming up, but maybe it is better to just get a high lottery pick then be the 8 seed and get swept.

Lakers-Spurs tonight, Lakers seem to be having some trouble, let me save you time, they will be fine. I'm right, you're wrong.
