Random fact of the day...

Just saw on SpartanMag, this is the first time in the history of the AP poll that MSU and UM are ranked in the top 6 simultaneously. Surprised me a bit.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

@NC_Trojan10 remember when you thought Indiana was better than Michigan?

 

[bMORE607]

Huge win

 

[northeastspartan]

Horrid start to this game for MSU

 

[MGC_07]

Defensive rebounding has been poor to start. Lot of second chance opportunities.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Well this officiating is fun.

 

[boilerzz]

struggling to keep Tillman off the glass

 

[otte21]

Damn a lot ugly misses by Purdue.

 

[northeastspartan]

I don't remember the last jumper that Ward made. God damn that's ugly

 

[Da_Bull]

Cline still got that dope smoking haircut.

 

[northeastspartan]

Combined there has been a truly preposterous amount of ugly misses and air balls in this game

 

[SpartanJD]

Winston just broke Easterns ankles

 

[boilerzz]

Winston just broke Easterns ankles

At least he didn’t discard him this time. The one one the three was ridiculous.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

It'd be pretty cool and neat if Purdue would get a first-shot defensive rebound sometime before tomorrow.

 

[northeastspartan]

At least he didn’t discard him this time. The one one the three was ridiculous.

Yeah that was definitely a missed call

 

[northeastspartan]

It amazes me that great players like Edwards can still be fooled by the same tricks the Izzone was pulling two decades ago.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Dakich talking about how MSU has such great under-recruited guys and cites Matt McQuaid (top-100 recruit) and Cassius Winston (top-30). I just love how full of shit that guy is on a regular basis.

 

[JRMSU]

Damn.

Trevion Williams pulling a reverse Swanigan. Just can’t stop gaining weight.

Give it a year and he will look like Vince Wilfolk.

 

[otte21]

Maybe we’ll be able to get a defensive rebound then.

 

[boilerzz]

He’s lost 40 pounds since arriving on campus. But nice try tho.

He's looked pretty good so far IMO

Has to have at least a few buckets, boards, and can pass

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Halftime:

MSU - 5 different players with offensive rebounds
Purdue - 4 different players with defensive rebounds

 

[boilerzz]

He was solid offensively but struggled mightily on D.

 

[JRMSU]

Kid has potential but he’s very similar to a pre weight loss HS swanigan. He needs to transform imo.

Doesn’t have the ability to defend right now

 

[NC_Trojan10]

@NC_Trojan10 remember when you thought Indiana was better than Michigan?

I never said they were better. I made the bet, because it was a pointless avatar bet. I even said during that debate multiple times I though Michigan would finish ahead of IU. Not your best trolling effort.

 

[boilerzz]

Halftime:

MSU - 5 different players with offensive rebounds
Purdue - 4 different players with defensive rebounds

I’m surprised they both have the same number of offensive rebounds. But then again, we gave ourselves plenty of chances with horrid shooting.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Oh, okay. That would've been dumb of you to think that. Glad you weren't dumb.

 

[MGC_07]

Kid has potential but he’s very similar to a pre weight loss HS swanigan. He needs to transform imo.

Doesn’t have the ability to defend right now

Except way less skilled at this point

 

[JRMSU]

He’s lost 40 pounds since arriving on campus. But nice try tho.

Weighed in at AAU senior year at 250.

Started this season at 280 per Purdue’s website.

He’s not a biscuit below 275.

 

[NC_Trojan10]

Oh, okay. That would've been dumb of you to think that. Glad you weren't dumb.

I do think we beat you at Assembly though.

 

[JRMSU]

Except way less skilled at this point

That’s why I’m saying he’s basically a sophomore in HS version of swanigan.

 

[MGC_07]

I hope McQuaid keeps it up and finishes with more points than Carsen Edwards.

I’d give it a 3% chance

 

[MileHighSpartan]

6 points and 4 boards in 6 minutes. He's currently tied for the leading scorer for Purdue at half. And doing so against Ward and Tillman. As a Freshman

 

[JRMSU]

Oh god. Trevion showed up to Purdue 65 pounds overweight. Mother of god.

“Basketball director of sports performance Gavin Roberts said Williams arrived in June at 315 pounds. Williams weighed around 270 on Monday, the result of extra workouts and cutting sweets and other counter-productive foods out of his diet. He estimated he has not pulled his weight down this low since seventh grade, when he was 6-2 and pushing 300 pounds and lied about his weight due to embarrassment.”

But if he can get into good shape he will be a good player. Big dude but has good touch and feel.

Always thought he had better upside than Kithier. Bingham and Kithier both needed to rs this year as I don’t think either will be essst before their junior year to make an impact. Which will be fine as long as we land Stewart for next year.

Oh I hope to hell he has changed his life and will stick to it.

He reminds me of a less athletic/less aggressive Derrick nix.

Perfect comparison

 

[JRMSU]

Perfect comparison

True story. derricks weight would swing up to 30 pounds day to day.

Kid could eat. Izzo and the training staff had to be on him hourly for 2 years before he made real strides.

 

[SpartanJD]

Perfect comparison

Williams looks to be in better shape as a frosh than Nix did
