Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

Tyson Walker shooting the ball feels like Derrick Walton his senior year when it felt like every shot he took in the last 1.5 months of the season was going in.

I thought they played great in the tourney. Tough matchup against Duke.

Any chance this can bump Sparty up to 30 in NET? This plus a blowout win for Pitt today, maybe we wake up with 5 Q1 wins tomorrow? :pray:

Definitely not an MSU sympathizer, but they had a really solid chance in the Covid year.

Someone may want to actually measure the diameter of these rims in Iowa City. Neither team shoots like this in other arenas.

Also, I know it has been speculated here that Walker might return for a fifth year…but why would he?? He’s got to be of interest to a pro team somewhere.

Finally, this PBP has to be related to Joe Buck somehow. He has the exact same voice.

To be full on optimistic: this is good for Michigan. Our MSU win looks better and Iowa falls closer to us as a bubble team. Plus makes it more likely we stay ahead of Iowa in B1G seeding.

From the MSU side, this very much seems like an unsustainable performance just because they’re playing Iowa. So let people overrate them before they eat glue in March again

They had an embarrassing loss to a 14 seed in my head cannon.

Didn’t State lose to that Michigan team by 12 just 7 days ago?

Wasn’t that a tie game with like 2 mins to go and Kobe had to make a <10% 3 point shot to break free?

Also first game post that tragedy? I don’t think that game against M shifts my view of them at all.

Sure, MSU fans want to hang a banner for that year acting like they would have won it all.

We can keep the same narrative and say MSU basketball hasn’t been great since Cassius left.

Now do that for every game.

If Tyson Walker scores 25 PPG moving forward I will buy MSU making noise in the tourney

Why are there so many sympathizers with a mediocre MSU team here today? Very weird energy.

Tight game it was a toss up with a couple minutes left.

Somebody check the record book, 11-13 must be some kind of record! 85%! And what are they, like 70+ overall. ā€œUnbelievableā€ is an overused term, but this really IS unbelievable!

Michigan could be like 22-6 if we want to play this game

:man_shrugging: I’ll stop posting if I’m killing the vibe. I just like Walker as a player, think he’s good.

Yea, I watched. And this Iowa game is no better an indicator of State. It’s Iowa fergodssake.

It’s a matter of disbelief, but awe. Kind of awful disbelief! :wink: :grin:

So do I and most everyone on the board. If only that had been your only point.
