Great win over Tennessee for 2nd win over them. 9th Quad 1 win. Pope can coach.

Yeah I saw that game last night.
Kentucky looked as good as they did earlier, before they hit that slump.

If they play the tournament like they played against Tennessee last night they will tough to beat.  :yes:

Michigan :barf: just leapfrogged MSU for 1st in the BIG10, and Izzo failed to overtake Knight for most wins in conference history with the loss to Indiana last night.

That was a shocker.

MSU is always that team nobody wants to play in the Tournament.  :yes:

When they are a potential #2 or #3 seed in their bracket, they are even tougher IMO.  :yes:

Tom Izzo is certainly one of a handful of elite D1 coaches, and he always has his boys ready to compete, so I think MSU fans especially this year can look forward to a deep run.  :cheers:

Big 10 is a bit wacky this year because of the teams having to travel across the country for away games. My guess is that MSU went 0-2 on their latest road trip because A: travel, and B: too many liberals in Cali.

It's fun for me because my Pop is a UofM grad and Wifey is an MSU grad/faculty, and both teams are good this year. (Of course, I know who to root for if I want to stay fed and happy  ;) )

That Maryland to Washington trip would be brutal. 3 hr time difference

Hell, I don't even know all the schools in the big 12 anymore.

I really don't like what it's become.

It's a money game now. Basically Semi-Pro.

Kentucky down 2 starters tonight at Texas.

We just kept throwing the ball away last night. Another loss in a game we could have won. Have to get healthy.

KU just isn't very good this year. I read a prediction we were going to be a 4 seed in the tournament but if we keep losing on the road it's going to be a big higher than that! :rollleyes:

We have been preseason #1 before and ended up not even ranked. Same happened to North Carolina a few years ago also.

Smit

We were preseason #1 this year and last. There is no more worthless "honor" than being preseason #1. I'm starting to think it's a curse! 🙃

#104
We were crushed by BYU last night, 97-51. To say we're not a very good team right now is an understatement!

If we can turn things around right now we might not play ourselves out of the NCAA tournament!  :crazy:

Bill Self has always said it's our job to make the other team play bad. Well, this year the other teams are playing great and they're making us play bad.

I guess having a down year on occasion makes you appreciate the up years more. :shrug:
