Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

If I did the math right MSU is currently on pace for 35 turnovers

MichiganMan2424 · February 20, 2021, 5:29pm

Within the past month Thomas Kithier and Foster Loyer were starting games for MSU. Now we’re 12+ minutes into today’s game and neither have entered the game.

umhoops · February 20, 2021, 5:30pm

Loyer is out right?

MichiganMan2424 · February 20, 2021, 5:31pm

Is he? I hadn’t seen that but it makes sense with him not playing yet

steve · February 20, 2021, 5:31pm

Loyer out indefinitely.

jemblue · February 20, 2021, 5:32pm

Another tough week for Tom. Yet again forced to play the weird guys instead of his star in the making.

BigBoutros · February 20, 2021, 5:36pm

Archie get off the court

umhoops · February 20, 2021, 5:36pm

Maybe Kithier should play after all?

steve · February 20, 2021, 5:36pm

Illinois fans think that Michigan is getting a break only having to play Indiana once? What a joke. Indiana is terrible.

BigBoutros · February 20, 2021, 5:38pm

Is that their latest spleen?

steve · February 20, 2021, 5:45pm

Nothing new, just them being butthurt that Michigan is only playing 17 games, cause you know that M would lose two of three to the murderers’ row of Northwestern, IU, and PSU, they of a combined 14-29 B1G record.

Yeah, Loyer is expected to miss at least two games after taking a knee to his left shoulder in practice.

BigBoutros · February 20, 2021, 5:47pm

if the NCAA would just move the tournament back to April or May we could make up every game safely

BigBoutros · February 20, 2021, 5:49pm

Nice scoring burst by MSU late in the half to get back on a 50-point pace.

umhoops · February 20, 2021, 5:53pm

MichiganMan2424 · February 20, 2021, 5:55pm

Man a game like this is in some senses best case scenario for Michigan fans, assuming MSU loses. Henry is the only real offensive threat (5/10 for 11 points, no one else has more than 5), continuing his late season offensive resurgence and hopefully pushing him further towards the draft. Future “key pieces” like Hoggard, Sissoko, Marble, Hall, Watts and Hauser are all quiet/struggling (1-8 from the field, 0-2 from 3, 2 assists, 4 TOs combined). And a guy like Kithier is playing the best at the 5, meaning Izzo is that much more likely to bring him back.

BigBoutros · February 20, 2021, 5:57pm

You’re sadistic! I would never think that way!

kturnup · February 20, 2021, 5:57pm

A great half for Michigan State. Showed some real flashes to get to 24 points and only down 4 at halftime. Can’t play better than that.

kturnup · February 20, 2021, 6:09pm

So Bingham’s been starting. But today Marble is starting cause he had one good game and now Sissoko is in after 1 minute.

CursedBlue · February 20, 2021, 6:10pm

Is Marble left handed? If that 9 foot, contested hook shot was with his off hand it makes it much better. Although missing that badly with his dominant hand is also just brutal.
