What do you mean by insanely bad? Like sub-100 on KP/Torvik? Their record is pretty bad already and they only have one game the rest of the season with a 50+% WP
Yeah, theyāre probably one of the least-talented non-Rutgers B10 teams in memory.
Funny thing is they have like 6 top 100 kids.
Wiggins and Ayala going from 40% three point shooters as freshmen to sub-30% shooters as sophomores kind of left Turgeon drawing dead here.

I think I agree with your surprise, but only in that the metrics donāt quite reflect it yet. They have the same record/resume as Nebraska, more or less. They had pretty close shaves against ODU, La Salle, and Mount St Maryās. Theyāre 126th with a negative WAB.
It all adds up to second-worst B1G team on KP/Torvikā¦but yeah, youād think that meant 90th, not 60th.

I donāt know that Iād say that. Morsell, Ayala, Wiggins and Hamilton were all top 100 players. A good chunk of the rest of their lineup were top 200 guys as well. Obviously none of their players have really developed that well, but I think itās more of a coaching/player development issue than a talent thing.
What do you make of it?
The funny thing is that Ayala Wiggins and Morsell were not only highly though of recruits, they were highly regarded rising sophomores.

How many times is Izzo going to give Aaron Henry the stick before he realizes it doesnāt work? Henry has to be the most beaten on kid (by his coaches) I can think of in recent conference history.
Heās gonna have a good game in the first round of the tournament and the media narratives will be all about how the tough love workedā¦only for him to have a clinker in the second round and MSU bounced early

I hate to say it but I really think Wisconsin is winning the whole shebang this year.
The funniest part of the whole Izzo benching Aaron Henry thing is that their next best guy is Foster Loyer LOL
Like doesnt that move make 100x more sense inserting Gabe Brown? Or is Izzo worried Gabe Brown is gonna magically get on the NBA radar and leave so he has to keep the training wheels on for good?

Whole shebang as in the Big Ten shebang or the national shebang
If yelling at Aaron Henry or punishing him was going to make him a star, heād be one.
