Key’s bucket celebration mirrors the way I enter the dance floor at the clubs.

I really thought Malik Hall would be MSU’s second or third best player this year.

Actually maybe he is, even at 5 ppg…

I know the fouls are out of hand but Izzo response to his PG situation is to play Loyer more?!?!?!

6121

Even though I don’t think MSU is super talented, Izzo has done an atrocious coaching job. 11 man rotation this half. Hoggard went from barely playing, to starter, now back to 11th man. Watts went from starting PG, to backup PG/SG, back to starting PG. Kithier continues to start, etc.

There’s no “third best” on this roster. Maybe he’s 13th worst?

I kind of get the same vibe from Sparty basketball as Michigan football this year. But they’ve already used up their Covid break!

I think they’re a pretty talented team. Of that 11 man rotation only 2 or 3 of them weren’t 4* or better. Without looking, they probably have more 4* than Nebraska, PSU, Maryland and Rutgers combined. The roster management and utilization is baffling and like you said, bad coaching job by Izzo. Nobody knows their role. Seems like nobody can earn more or less plying time based on performance.

He literally doesn’t have another PG. I know Loyer is really not a B1G PG, but Izzo has no one else, not Watts, not Hoggard yet, or maybe ever, no one.

Now, in college basketball you DO get to recruit so this, “Well he lost an All American PG in Cassius Winston” stuff, while true, really is getting old. Juwan went out and got Mike Smith. Izzo brought in a kid who was fairly highly ranked, but still, he’s a kid who hasn’t shown he’s ready, at all. Izzo’s cupboard, frankly, is bare at the PG position, and it’s really his own fault.

Gah! I thought this game was at 3:00 for some reason and missed the first half shoveling. Heartbroken to see that Sparty is losing by a dozen at the break.

out of every player on the MSU roster, it’s Kithier who is immune to the autobench?
