Not anymore. I’ve come to the light. Now I know 2-3 game sample sizes are far better indicators of success.
I know you’d like if postseason results meant nothing. Sorry?
I don’t think you’re reading my posts. It’s the only thing that matters.
I think it’s more likely that it turns into worse 3 than not too
I’m just saying I don’t think going 17-15 with a squad everyone but Tom Crean thought would compete for a conference championship is hilarious because winning 2 games after that made me ignore that part of the season.
If I was an Illinois fan I’d wish people didn’t care about the postseason. How old were you the last time Illinois made it past the round of 32?
Meh pre - season rankings are meaningless. Last year Vegas O/U for wins for Michigan Football was 7 wins and I think MSU was 5.5 . Michigan won 12 and the title beating OSU for the first time in a decade and MSU won 11 games
Preseason rankings are pretty much a joke
Cautiously optimistic about Purdue next season. Just need the bracket to break right and play a 16 seed instead to make the elite 8 next season.
People are saying we might not pursue a big via the portal if we get Hauser back.
That is stupid as fvck. I genuinely think a center rotation of Julius Marble and Mady Sissoko is bottom of the conference. It’s so goddamn clearly the biggest need.

We aren’t not pursuing them because Izzo is done. He’s been on the road all week long recruiting and we’re pursuing other transfers like Jalen Bridges.
I just think Izzo thinks we’re fine rolling into next year with the bigs we have. I think that’s dumb.
Certainly caps MSU’s ceiling, probably looking at a middling team in conference if he runs it back without adding another quality big.
I agree. It would be putting a very solid guard grouping to waste. Teams like Michigan, Illinois, and Purdue would just absolutely fvck us up. We would have the worst defensive big man in recent memory for us, Julius Marble, and his backup would be a guy who's a foul machine and is simply not a Big Ten player. That's awful for such a key position in this conference.
Even offering some unathletic 7 footers from lower levels would help us out. I seriously don't understand it.
Maybe he isn’t enamored by the options so far and expects more to enter the portal soon?
Only thing I can think of, unless he’s content with a middling team…
That's what some insiders think. Unless he knows he has TJD or something, which I seriously doubt at this point, I can't seem to understand why you wouldn't be pursuing at least one. There are a lot of solid options currently in the portal. Better than what we have now.
Omar Payne is in the portal. Jus’ sayin’.
TJD as in, Indiana TJD? He's not transferring. He'll either A) stay in the draft, of B) return to IU, with an already 6 figure NIL deal waiting...
Huntley-Hatfield as well....Love to see Indiana go after this kid. Star written all over this dude.
I’m not sure. I went through a phase where I stopped watching college basketball because my team was not well-coached, and I started heavily investing time in how fast my dog was.
It’s all a blur after the first 5 or so years I would imagine. Sucking for a couple months was annoying. Not making it past the round of 32 in 16 seasons would feel like a twilight zone episode.
He could easily get a 6 figure deal anywhere he went. I’m perplexed why IU fans think a 6 figure deal is unmatchable/unbeatable.

Now do "Hail's self-perceived superiority for preseason predictions" and "2022 Michigan."
He’s superior because his dog is fast too, don’t forget that
In a year where I’ve admitted we were ass, we still made it further in the postseason than Illinois has in 16 years. That is cool atleast.
Izzo has been seeing Xavier Booker daily and we just got a future cast for him.
