I'm still trying to figure out how any of Maxey's shots went in. Odd form and shoots line drives.

Won’t you be busy preparing for you NIT opener?
I have a feeling that the population of Illinois fans that come out of the woodwork to post here may rise this season. I can't moderate them. I'm sorry.
That said, @Illinois0, most of these guys are pretty fun to get along with and will have reasonable conversations as long as you aren't throwing fanboy talk at them constantly. Also, go ahead and do yourself a favor and put JohnHoosier on ignore.
Badgers look solid last night but B1G took some hits with Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska and even Maryland struggled.
Let's not over react to anything. Remember how Purdue started last season. They ended up ok to say the least.
Made money on Duke & UK last night. Not going to overreact from the first week of play. MSU will be fine. Plenty of time for teams to figure it out.
UK’s defense looked real sturdy last night. They’re gonna really good if they can get their offense moving.
Game 1 of the season. All of those teams won except Nebraska (who no one thought would be good with the exception of Nebraska fans), so I don't think the conference took that much of a hit. No one will care about those games in a month.
Yeah exactly. The key in these early games is getting the win and avoiding the bad L...especially as teams break in new guys.
Now if the issues persist a month down the road, then we can talk.
I will say that I expected Illinois to hit the ground running a little more than others, but I didn't watch a second of that game so can't really weigh in much.
There are some positives you can take from the UK game if you’re MSU. If we shoot just average, we win. We defended quite well, and I thought Bingham and Kithier looked like they belong. But the jump shooting was just terrible.
Don’t want to look it up. Is that as bad as Painter year 1? That squad played hard, but it was ugly.
Yikes. Looked it up and Painter won 9 games his first year. Keady won only 7 the season before.
Guys were sloppy with the ball. We were up 20 then got too loose, and they had a guy hit some shots. I will say that Kofi is a game changer. He changed so many shots. It will be a lot of fun watching him these next 1-2 years.
Oh for sure...just some sarcasm after having a few last night.
Gotcha. Kofi is just what you guys needed then. How'd his mobility look last night?
26 assists on 31 made baskets last night. SmokinSmile
I was very encouraged by the offensive sets that we were running last night, even if it was just against Cleveland State. Got alot of open 3-point looks and made the most in a game in 4 years. Frontcourt depth is going to be an issue all season, but I am more optimistic about this team than I was a month ago.

Great straight line. He played 32 minutes last night and didn't look winded. He's in great shape right now.
6 of Cash's Top-10 most assists per game last year, were Neutral / Away games.
I think he was in the same class as one of the 3.
Must be nice to come from an uber wealthy family, have famous rich friends, and still be on scholarship for basketball. Must be fvcking nice.
Meanwhile, I just questioned my wife on why she spent $37 on useless shit from Amazon.
Don’t care lol. He’ll probably get drafted somewhere in the second. Not sure how well he’ll do though
Not being a dick I’m genuinely curious lol. Hell of a college player just curious how his game translates to the next level.
He should be. He'll get drafted. I think he can carve out a role on an NBA team.
Maybe as a backup, but its definitely an uphill battle. Last night against the UK guards (all 6'3" with plus wingspans) - you could see he was having trouble getting separation, which is something that'd be even more difficult in the NBA. That said, if he did play in the NBA he'd likely not be guarded by the opposing team's best defender as he'd be in the 2nd unit / backups, and probably be the lowest threat on the court at any given time.
I think he’s someone you could roll out on your bench and feel comfortable with him running the offense when out there, but not a great defender. He’s a crafty finisher and has a good shot. He could make a living as a bench player for a while.
