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.

They're the only ranked Big Ten team right now. Would have been a good year for us to stay ranked so the focus could be on us and them instead of just them...but our program just can't get out of its own way anymore.

Malik Hall out today against Purdue 

Sounds like he misses our game next Sunday and more games after that.

This is good news for us.  He's really good on both ends of the floor.  Michigan State not surprisingly is starting to put together a solid season after a rough start and a mediocre seeming roster.  Hall definitely costs them though.

With a win today, Purdue would tie the school record for the best record after 18 games.  The '87-'88 squad started out 17-1.

And yet, they are a Zach Edey ankle sprain away from being total crap.

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.

I could see the numbers reflecting we for the MWC. Where is Kent State for you? They seem to be a good team. Single digit losses on the road to Charleston, Houston and Gonzaga.

I watch a ton of hoops and i think i can count on one hand the number of 3s I’ve seen Hauser make

He's an incredible difference maker.  The biggest literally and figuratively in college basketball.  Unfortunately he's like Ivan Drago , seemingly invincible.

Lots of missed 3s by MSU

[Hoosierfan1901]

Purdue is such a different team when Edey is out

Reminds me of McQuaid who played for them.  Coming out of high school was the best shooter in the class or close to it and every time I watched him didn’t feel like he hit any 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Think Edey is bad? Wait until 7’3 Berg becomes the starter, heard he loves the 3 ball

[Hoosierfan1901]

Walker is on fire right now 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Furst also has very nice shot outside the arc too

Loyer reminds me of a shorter Eric Piatkowski.
