It’s great to see guys coming back to support the program.

I remember at the home MSU game in 2014 the TV guys mentioned that both of Burke’s parents were there. With Burke’s recent comments coming to mind it made me realize that I don’t remember him ever coming back for a game. Perhaps I’m forgetting something though. But yeah, it’s awesome to see guys like Tim, Caris, J-Mo, and Nik(Not this game, but still…) not only coming to games, but often cheering us on via Twitter and other social media.

In the wake of the Boogie Cousins trade, there’s some interesting stories coming out about his treatment of Nik. Zach Lowe said on his podcast “DeMarcus Cousins ruined Nik stauskas…the stories about Cousins berating Stauskas, threatening to fight him on the plane when they were going to China preseason”. Lots of talk about it on the NBA Reddit thread

It’s fitting that the first thing the Michigan State grad, who is woefully underqualified for his job, does is hire a Michigan grad to run his team.

Magic never graduated MSU. Left early for the draft.

Good call…shouldn’t have used the term “grad.”

FWIW, Trey is on the trading block in Washington. At the least, they are attempting to get a player to back up John Wall ahead of Trey.

Wizards are 18-5 since the start of the year. Won 11 of 12 before the ASB. But backup PG is a position they are weak at. Love Trey but he just hasn’t been able to produce consistently in the NBA at a level that warrants him being a backup PG on a good team

Correct. The Wizards are attempting to sign Brandon Jennings, as he was waived by the Knicks. If the move occurs, I am not sure whether they will release Trey or one of their younger players, but he is definitely in danger.

As predicted, Brandon Jennings will sign with the Wizards after he clears waivers at 5pm today. Look like Trey will avoid being waived, but he will no longer receive rotation minutes, unless an injury occurs.

Collison is just resigned to his fate. Slumps the shoulders. Doesn’t even make a late attempt to close out. Doesn’t go after the board.

It’s as good as breaking his ankle.

Love all these highlights for LeVert.

Timmy with a career high 36 points tonight.
