They’re taking lots of injuries into the equation. Probably shouldn’t

Imagine being an analyst doing their game and trying to talk up Ewing and Georgetown despite them not winning a conference game in over a year.  Lol.   Brando loved the enthusiasm Ewing has on the sidelines during this tough stretch.  

Woody had a legit good reputation in the NBA. Even if you take all context away from his HC record he has several decades worth of top assistant work with some very good coaches and won a championship as an assistant.  
 

Ewing is what I think people who don’t like Woody think Woody is.  Ewing tried forever to move up the ranks and even get a HC job, all to no avail.  Nobody really goes on the record trashing a guy but by most accounts he just wasn’t a good assistant. Then along comes his alma mater. There’s no way he sniffs a major job if he wasn’t a high profile alum. I wonder what it takes to fire him?

This is a great post,

and the bolded part is the best line of all.

Anthony Black’s people need to pay me not to watch him. Have literally never seen him good.

And just like that, they didn’t have the ball

Izzo is doing something with Edey I’ve never seen.

When Edey catches the ball in the high post, MSU single covers him above the ball, giving Edey a completely unguarded clear path to the basket from 22 feet out. Edey has nowhere to go even when that clear.

of course when Purdue misses Edey is there to clean up pretty often

Zach Edey just got away with a huge obvious foul.  Edey hooked a Michigan State player and threw him to the for....foul called on a Michigan State player.

In the WWE world of B1G officiating, i was surprised they didn’t award Edey 2 pts for a perfectly executed hip toss

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Its starting to feel like Purdue is going to run away with the B1G this year.  Tough.  Hoping MSU can throw them a L here but i'm not too convinced.

Rutgers seems to be right there as well and they won the only game between them this year.   Purdue not having to play at Rutgers is probably a good thing for them

Difference in teams in our rankings all seem to be Mountain West based;  I have New Mexico (21), Nevada (23) and San Diego State (25) in;  you have Clemson (16), Texas A&M (24), and St. Mary's (25) in.
