Are people still mad at KenPom for overrating MSU?

MKR · January 5, 2020, 8:48pm

I love how hard Simpson plays, but he didn’t play very well today.

Bmbeach · January 5, 2020, 8:48pm

Watts, or Wagner? I’ll take Wagner all day, at least this season.

What an @ss beating.
Could have been a lot larger deficit had Tom not taken Cassius out after the onslaught Cash was unleashing during the lead stretching.

Absolutely agree with this kt! As a team we had a rough game but it wasn’t t about effort. I CANNOT wait 'til they come to Crisler!

If we keep playing D and pressing, they can certainly keep playing too.

M will be ready in Feb for the rematch.

11/60 from 3 in true road games this year.

Really silver? Cash coming to town for his 2nd to last regular season game of his career against X, whom he relishes since X owned him year 1&2?

I dread this matchup, even with Livers I think MSU wins @ Crisler by a half dozen minimum.

I dont want to pile on the kid, but Eli just played 36 minutes and shot 1-5 with 3 assists

silverblue · January 5, 2020, 8:53pm

We’ll see…

bobohle · January 5, 2020, 8:55pm

I wouldn’t say 14 pts 5 boards 8 assts only 2 turnovers a bad game for X.

kturnup · January 5, 2020, 8:56pm

And being given no spacing by his teammates

bluejayway · January 5, 2020, 8:58pm

This. Exactly this. Not upset with the effort. Both teams will be winning their fair share of conference games.

I feel like we haven’t played well in maize this season. Best to stick to navy away and home whites.

jemblue · January 5, 2020, 9:00pm

We wore maize in Atlantis and blue vs. Louisville, IIRC.

bluejayway · January 5, 2020, 9:00pm

This season, next season, and if applicable, the next.

gtfomycourt · January 5, 2020, 9:01pm

I liked what I saw from Johns and Wagner today in terms of trying to assert themselves. I do agree that those 2 should be more decisive about shooting 3’s. I can see their confidence growing though in general.

MKR · January 5, 2020, 9:03pm

I would, seeing as he went 6-18 from the field and Winston did whatever he wanted against him when he had the ball. You don’t think X can play better than that?

Pittsnogled · January 5, 2020, 9:06pm

Just had a look at the box score. Johns played 30 minutes and was the only Michigan starter without an offensive rebound. Very surprising. He hit some nice shots today though.
