Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

Matt, I know you don’t want to hear this but State is really playing well right now. And, as our “favorite” announcer Bardo said, “It is March and it is Izzo.” We may not like it but it is true. We will have to play very well to beat them, and without Eli I haven’t seen us be the same team. Plus State certainly won’t be tired, they play like 100 guys!

OK, so now, having said all that, I’m glad Dylan doesn’t have a “dislike” button on here! :wink: :grin:

I really can’t give Izzo much credit when it was his own fault he was playing Kithier and Loyer 40 combined minutes

MSU fans INSISTED even 2 weeks ago that Hoggard needed to be in the top 5 grouping, and not Rocket.

Yeah, Silver–I peeked into the MD game and realized that my comment was a bit ill-timed! But let’s not forget how these narratives rise and fall. It wasn’t long ago that we were dubbing Tom “the Fizzler,” etc. as they fell apart at tourney time. From what I can see he has rescued a season–and a lot of talent–from the arms of outright disaster. If they travel deep into March-April, I will reconsider!

Hoggard is… not good. I don’t really understand why he plays so much.

Wiggins with the worst 3 of the year?

He’s brutal to watch. So slow. And I’m not sure he has a single skill that merits playing time

For the life of me I cannot tell when a foul on a three where the defender taps the shooter’s hand just after the shot is a foul or not a foul. Can someone enlighten me?

this makes it all that much more important for Rocket Watts to transfer

Izzo T’d up. Wonderful time of the year

Hoiberg bounced about 5 feet off the Maryland player

My wife just said , “You jinxed 'em!” She’s a State fan. I said, “Why do you think I wrote what I did on the forum!” :rofl:

I’m still annoyed Michigan didn’t take advantage of Jack Hoiberg playing actual minutes on Sunday

Hoiberg was Maryland’s best player for a few minutes there. Izzo couldn’t even leave him in until the half lol

Ahh the classic MSU Strategy of they can’t call every foul, so we will get away holding on most drives.

It was very unfortunate that Izzo could steal minutes with Hoiberg on Zeb. Not great.

I’m going with the guy setting the screen while running through the defender is the one who should be called, Bardo
