Stuhoo Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 2 minutes ago, Demo said: I guess I’m more bearish on MSU than the consensus view. They might be a top 3 or 4 team in the conf. They have talent, they have a winning culture and Izzo’s great. But I have no problem seeing them finishing 8th or 9th. They’re replacing 1 of the 2 or 3 best PG’s in the conf in the last 20 years with a 1/1 asst/to guy who really likes hunting his own shot. Watts is talented, but he’s miles from Winston. And Tillman was just a man. Best interior defender in the conf. Clutch scorer. Leader and all around bada**. Might have been my favorite player in the B1G. I just don’t see how you replace their level of talent/production/experience/leadership without significant fall off. It’s not like they’re replacing Green and Davis. But Izzo’s done it before. Is it possible that the best player in the conference last year will not be the player that’s most missed on his own team? MSU has some front line issues, and I think they’ll be limited with few well-rounded options at the four and five spots. Hauser isn’t a good defender, Bingham can’t score, and Kithier? meh Quote
mdn82 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 I feel like I am with Demo on this one. I see them in that second tier that will once again go 9/10 deep. Anywhere from 3-9 is where I see MSU. I just think Illinois and Iowa right now are on their own tier. My pick would be Illinois right now to win conference. Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Idk. Michigan State and Izzo despite being the pinnacle of sleaze, find guys and make guys better. They always seem to find a way. Next man up, so to speak. Theoretically, they should be down but they will be a top 4 team again. Quote
HoosierDYT Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 For whatever reason Iowa doesn’t worry me. Illinois? Uber-talented, yes. Still think we win 50/50. But when we play MSU I feel any win is a great accomplishment (despite Archie’s record at IU against them) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

IUc2016 Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Jeff Goodman reporting that BIG and Big East have looked into a basketball bubble for this season. Would be pretty cool if it happened. All learning is essentially online anyways and the players would be much safer than the alternative of not having a season at all or having one on campus. Stromboli 1 Quote
