Bad showing for the B1G yesterday. Mich lost, TOSU lost at home to a team they were favored to beat by 19, Wisky lost again, and Maryland looked like shit against Rider.

Thanks to all the shit showings, Indiana might have a shot at the B1G title this year right?

Honestly the only teams in the B10 that have looked legit so far are MSU and Indiana. I'll reserve judgement on my Hawks til after the Orlando classic.

Yup, that was an embarrassment... wish I could have seen the game. That said, OSU will get better as the year goes on. This is basically a brand new team. Although we're now a taller team and still got out-rebounded?!?! I guess we'll call it a good season if we can somehow make the tourney.

You sound kinda salty about that 16 point loss...

Just taking shots at Indiana bro.. I can't stand most of the fans and Crean.

I really feel like Michigan needs to take the next step and actually go after a big name coach. I know the

program isn't the most lucrative in basketball by any means, but I never liked the Beilein hire. I know he had

two very good seasons, but I feel like he's a guy that excels at mid level programs. If Michigan really wants to

challenge the B1G every year, they need to up their expectations. Too many good programs in the conference

for Michigan to be consistent IMO. Any opinions? I'm pretty sure many will disagree with me.

Thank you sir

At some point we actually need to beat someone, we've been plenty good at giving folks a scare, gave Arizona a scare on the road earlier this year

Eventually we need a good win

Michigan State 77 - Providence 64
(score doesn't reflect how close -and terrific- this game was...Friars led pretty much the entire game...unreal that they aren't ranked)

I will be pretty shocked if they aren't ranked when the polls come out later today. Kris Dunn is fantastic and very fun to watch. Denzel Washington has had an amazing smart to the season. He also appears to be an excellent leader for the Spartans.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Pretty sure I meant Denzel Valentine, not Denzel Washington.

Hawks looking great tonight. Up 35 on the same Western Illinois that beat Wisconsin

 

[BUD]

Michigan/SMU is about to start. We are not going to lose to them this time around

Minnesota has lost to both South Dakota and now South Dakota State. What a fucking terrible team. The further this program gets away from the Tubby Smith era, the worse its been.

Well fuck, I thought I had something to be jazzed about when OU beat Wisconsin...if Western Illinois is beating them too, I shouldn't be so enthused.

WIU is solid. Wisky is going to have growing pains early but will be good by years end

The SDSU loss isn't terrible but the South Dakota loss was pretty inexplicable
