Hahahaha Izzo! 
If he gives any credit to the opponent postgame it’ll be his first time

Sparry relied too much on Walker. They need other players to step up

USI is either going to get a beating on Thursday or do one of the most funniest things and win. There is is in between for this USI-MSU game

Worth mentioning that Michigan state starts 4 seniors and a junior.

They were down 4 at the half but I doubt they lose.

I'm happy I was wrong. Screw MSU. Screw Izzo.

Because, of course he did.

MSU will be fine, but boy is that a hilarious first game for them. 

What a time to be a Duke. 

Unfortunately, MSU seems to lose one of the early season, head scratchers each year, but usually recovers quickly......

Good for him. Will be rooting for him.

James Madison has an average age of 24.6 years?

College Basketball will look a lot more "normal" in a couple years when COVID years are through and average roster ages are back to being 20 and not 22 or 23. You'll see schools like Duke and Kentucky being really good with freshmen again because the age gap will be closed again. Though they'll still have to deal with really good player transferring up, which has definitely changed the game as well.

That's older than the median age on several NBA teams

To me Bates not developing here is the difference in this year's team. We need better shooting and scoring from the guards and if Bates had developed here this team ceiling would  be higher

No offense to Bates but he's one of the Non-con superlative players in my mind. Will have true judgement on his progress during conference play.

Yeah, the landscape really has changed on what it takes to win.

+1

At IU Tamar Bates and Parker Stewart feasted on cupcakes and were much different players against P5 teams.

Rutgers loses. Screw them. 

My take away from that game is Princeton is pretty good. Not sure that one was a fluke.

Big Ten refs are already in mid season form. They even completely ignored the new change for calling charges already.

Smith from PU slid underneath a driver and got a charge. Don’t think these new rules will BBS applied very well.
