Big Ten Basketball 2021-22 Discussion

Somehow AJ Hoggard just managed to fall down and get up all without travelling.

Upon review of this thread, one person said they think Wisconsin is better than us right now (which doesn’t feel like a hot take to me at all, could go either way) and then opined about how people were putting Harbaugh on the hot seat after 3 years, making a point generally on Michigan fan impatience more than they were “putting Howard on the hot seat” personally, and then cue 20 posts of freaking out about Michigan fans (and apparently me personally) being dramatic. :joy:

I try to approach things from a neutral fan perspective. It’s okay to say things are bad when they’re bad! The nice thing about college hoops is that it’s the one sport where hope springs eternal and teams can actually make major jumps pretty routinely! Gotta hope the staff does a good enough job to put it together.

In the meantime, we can continue to root for Tyson Walker to suck. My wishes are working!

Brutal possession there by Loyola

I have long held that Malik Hall is secretly MSU’s best player

Loyola really messed up the last minute. They could have gone 2 for 1 and made sure they got the last shot and when they didn’t do that they got blocked with 20 seconds to go and rushed with another shot. Once again missing an opportunity to take the last shot. MSU made them pay for it, but bad clock management by Loyola.

Bingham becoming a great player after sucking for 3 years is an all-time “random MSU senior becomes great out of nowhere moment”. Shoutout to Matt Costello, Matt Mcquaid, Kenny Goins, etc.

Bingham always had that potential though. And honestly I think they should have rode him more last year, he was clearly the best option at C. Not sure he’s a stud yet or anything but he’s at least a good rim protector. I desperately was hoping he’d transfer.

Nothing will top Kenny Goins learning how to shoot in January of his senior year and second will be McQuaid raining hellfire in conference play his senior year

AJ Hoggard is down to an 86 ORTG now

He scored 17 in the opener against Kansas and has 16 in the four games since.

Why doesn’t everyone aspire to be Wisconsin?!!?!?

Johnny Davis is the real deal though…

Did he always go by Johnny? Feel like it was Johnathan last year. Did he not want to be confused with the singer from Korn?

Brad Davison remains a miserable basketball player.

And then 2 straight hooks by Davidson and only 1 gets called. Still a dirty, cheap, miserable player.
