I would go with #3.Stay humble fellow WVU fan. It's not like we beat a team we weren't supposed to beat. We should be 4th.
Arizona St. also lost. Probably WVU at #3Stay humble fellow WVU fan. It's not like we beat a team we weren't supposed to beat. We should be 4th.
Nova and MSU much better than us

Butler was 15/22 from three in that one... Would we beat them at home? I think we can take anyone at homeI saw that Nova team play a very average Butler team.
Disagree.
Havent seen much of MSU.
Agreed, home team would be favored in those matchups or at least a toss up. MSU has posted some pretty insane def FG % numbers, it would be really tough to beat them. I legitimately think they run the table in their conferenceBetter but not by much...one of those whoever is playing at home wins.
Maryland was 13-3 when they came to East Lansing Thursday. They got beat by 30.
I’m hesitant to make this comparison this early in the season, but this MSU team reminds me a lot of the ‘09 Tar Heels. Not in any personnel similarities, but in how talented, versatile and deep they were. It’s not that they were always unbeatable...it’s just that when they decided to dial in, they were unbeatable.
I saw that UNC up close and personal at the NC game. They were a machine. I’m seeing that starting to come through in this MSU team.
Not to mention the level of dominance MSU has won by. Not a single game within ten. Beat Notre Dame and UNC by 18. Beat Maryland by 30.Let's compare:
Losses - MSU to Duke by 7. West Virginia to Texas A&M by 23
Advantage clearly MSU
Best wins - MSU over UNC by 18 and 18 over a healthy Notre Dame. West Virginia by 7 over Virginia and 13 over Oklahoma
Advantage slight to WVU
I'd lean MSU.
Thing is, the odds of an off-night go way down when you’re running 10 deep and everybody plays together. The fact that they assist on 75% of buckets is a great indicator. Not standing around hoping a guy goes off.This same comparison keeps popping in my head when I watch MSU. There is a long way to go but this team can be dominate. But one off night and you're done.
Every team every year is beatable so I'm not sure what you mean by this. MSU is playing the best right now, they have talent, experience, and a lot of length. They should be #1 imo.There is no dominant team this year in college hoops. Even MSU is beatable

Sparty down 13 at half to OSU
OSU went on a little run, then Izzo got a T with 15 sec left, then Winston shot with 5 sec left, then OSU hit a 35’ shot at the buzzerOhio state playing well? Or sparty just struggling?
Problem with MSU is that for as good as they are, they’re still really young.Yikes. Did not think I’d see MSU lose in this fashion this year
The good thing for MSU is that for as good as they are, Izzo teams tend to get better as the year goes on.
Guessing we'll see Nova 1 and WVU 2
That tooFIFY
In any serious evaluation, WVU should be ranked #1.
Problem with MSU is that for as good as they are, they’re still really young.
OSU scored 7 points in 15 seconds to end the half. Lol.
MSU down 12, not 13
That too
Speaking to this game (in contrast with a veteran ‘09 Heels squad), this is what you sometimes get with a young team. When the wheels wobble a little against a good team on the road, they’re as likely to come off completely as they are to tighten back up.
The 09 Heels still lost 4 games that year, but were never blown out. We’ll see now what MSU does with this. Wake-up call, or potential issue?
Well, that’s the other box that still needs to be checked: handling adversityI don’t see potential issue. MSU checks every box. Athleticism, size, shooting, depth, chemistry.
Just a shit game.
