Especially against this MSU offense.

Wagner-esque drive by Henry.

MSU just needs to use the whole shot clock each possession

Watts looked like he was done with Izzo there

That really was a nice take by Henry.

I donā€™t know how Illinois can play this bad.

Aaron Henry can play

Good stuff. Beat Iowa and Indiana this weekend and we can clinch at home against Illinois and raise a banner in front of Michigan State later next weekā€¦

I continue to fear that Henry will figure it out in time.

Henry was never the problem imo. Just had to do too much.

Still convinced MSU ainā€™t good. But at least Izzo stopped being insane with his rotations so they arenā€™t flatly horrible. I LOVE the way we match up with them. Dickinson will dominate down low. None of their bigs will draw him out. Henry can shut down Wagner but that will do little to shut our team down. Loyer will be back playing 15 mins :crossed_fingers:.

Henry has figured it out, heā€™s been really good for the last 6/7 games. The issues for MSU is literally anyone else showing up on a consistent basis. Langford and Watts (to a degree did tonight), and Hauser hit his limited shots. Now the question is can they keep doing it.

Iā€™m gonna go with no. Also gonna assume teams donā€™t shoot ~50% from the line against them on 35 attempts.

Henry would be really fantastic as a second option. That just isnā€™t possible with the current roster

You have to come ready to play EVERY game. Illinois didnā€™t come ready to play tonight. And sometimes, it just gets outta hand and you cannot get it back!

Henry is a good player. Illinois tiny, itty bitty wings cannot match up with him. Michigan has big wings to make life much more difficult.

Flipped to PSU/NEBā€¦Teddy Allen with 31. 28 in the first half!

That was a good call. MSU ball.

Agreed. Great win for them (and us), but part of this comes to Illinois shooting themselves in the foot (missed FTs, layups and dunks galore). Having to play a rested/pissed off OSU team 2 days after this physical game doesnā€™t bode well for them Thursday either.

Henry will be in the Association. Talented kid.

I was hoping he would have already been there this year.
