Oh no doubt we’d give you guys a hard time but Texas fouls a TON and Purdue doesn’t foul that much. Texas took like 30 3’s and settled for a lot of jumpers. Beard preaches to play extremely aggressive defense and see if the refs call it. Unfortunately for him, they did. They couldn’t handle Ivey or our bigs. Getting us in the bonus with 12 minutes left certainly played a huge role.
He lost in the second round.
Barring disappointing transfers, I think we’re going have a pretty solid 1-3 next year. I’m excited to get Walker/Hoggard back, and I’m expecting jumps out of Christie and Akins who shined at times this year. Hopefully Malik can get out of his own head and play with some fire. If we land a good transfer at the 5 I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t be minimum a top 25 team next year.
You can quote me on this, if MSU doesn’t finish within the top 25 next year barring like a plane crash of the team or wildly unforeseen circumstances I will agree with the statement Izzo is no longer a top 3 coach in the conference.
Yeah the Super senior situation gives Michigan St a chance to move up.
Who’s all considering coming back?
Congrats on making it man....was just making the point that how far a team goes being a huge deal is relative to expectations (to a certain point, in my opinion, the Elite Eight is the huge deal objectively). Underachieving for a huge chunk of the season doesn't change the fact that UM's talent should have higher expectations than say, UW.
Other than not liking Juwan Howard (didn't like him before the dust-up at UW), best of luck. Five sweet sixteens in a row is awesome. In a vacuum, doing it this year for UM, is less awesome when taking in the big picture of what was expected of UM this season.
Had UW been ranked in the top five to start the year and had the same results yesterday, you're damn right I'd be pissed. I was pissed last year when UW shit the bed. This year, different story for UW.
Don’t care what anyone says. The two time B1G COY in 2 of the last 3 years is in the top 3 right now. Especially with the rum dumbs we trot out there.
If I had to guess right now I’d say they’re all gone but you never know. I could see Bingham or Hauser coming back but I think Brown is for sure gone.
MSU and Izzo personally has reached out to SF/PF Jalen Bridges from WVU. Take that for what you will. I think Brown/Hauser are done.
If Christie comes back with Walker/Hoggard/Akins msu will be in the conversation for best guard play in the conference for sure.
Barring Bingham and Brown returning I don’t think Michigan St will be a true threat to win the conference.
Just one man’s opinion but you look to me like a team that’ll finish 3rd to 7th depending on what other teams do.
If MSU can replace them with solid transfer additions I don’t see why we couldn’t be decent. But I agree if we just lose the seniors and then roll into next year with what we have right now, I wouldn’t expect us to finish top 4. Marble and Sissoko cannot be your 5 tandem.
Free throw rate nationally - Purdue 13th, Texas 122nd
Free throw defense rate nationally - Purdue 5th, Texas 336th.
In other words, Purdue tries to get to the line and avoids fouling. Texas commits a ton of fouls.
10 of Texas' 11 worst defensive free throw rate games occurred in their final 12 games.
If Purdue had those crappy metrics, I'd be pissed at Painter long before I'd be pissed at the refs.
Lot of OFF SEASON TALK GOING ON ITT
Just an observation 🧐🧐
Just an observation 🧐🧐
Gard has less wins in the Conference during the last 3 years, and hasn’t beat him once H2H.
He’s running 4th at best behind Underwood, Painter, and Howard.
It’s the off-season right now, for most of us.
Would you prefer we talk about Michigan-Villanova and Purdue-St Peters until Thursday?
I have Gard ahead of Underwood .
Michigan matches up well with Nova.
I expect a win.
PS-I called the Michigan over Tennessee on Saturday too😉
I actually feel more confident against Villanova than I did Tennessee.
Than I found out Nova beat Tennessee by like 20 lol yikes
Than I found out Nova beat Tennessee by like 20 lol yikes
Underwhelm has the same amount of tourney wins as Gard, and more regular season wins.
Hasn’t been 11-seeded either😂
I actually think we match up better against them than we did against Tenn . Hopefully Jones is healthy. Michigan is gonna need multiple guards against them
My B.
Didn’t realize we had another thread already
Just Loyola’d as a ****ing 1 seed. Meanwhile Gard has beaten 1 and 2 seeds. Underwhelm has 6 tourney wins? That’s a new one on me. Basketball didn’t start 3 years ago.
Going to the Sweet 16 while starting 3 freshmen after replacing 4 of our top 6 scorers is awesome. If it was so easy more Big Ten teams would be doing it. Ohio State hasn’t been there since 2013. Illinois since 2005. Wisconsin 2017. Etc.
Is this thread from a parallel reality?
How could Izzo not be in the top 3 in the conference?
We aren’t talking overall resume. We are talking now and going forward.
Honestly pretty sly humble brag from Btown here.
In the 3 years Underwood has had an actual D-1 roster, Gard hasn’t beaten him😂
Since Gard has had his players, he’s been worse than Underwood.
So I guess Congrats on coming after Ryan instead of Groce?
Yeah, but he’s only two years removed from winning the league three straight times. Beat the Zion team and went to the Final Four a few years ago.
They don’t get to the rack at all really. They lived and died with jumpers yesterday.
Again don’t care. Basketball doesn’t start when you are all of a sudden ok again.
Anything beyond 3 years is ancient history apparently.
