MSU not getting away with their normal thuggery today.

not better than MSU's thanks to our loss to LSU and absense of any RPI top 45 wins (or any kenpom top 35 wins), but it is surprisingly close by W's and L's (just not at all close when factoring in margin of victory). MSU's tourney seeding will be an interesting case of RPI/resume/SoS vs. eye test/margin of victory/advanced stats/talent. Based on just Ws and Ls they probably don't deserve to be ranked ahead of Miami (YTM), FSU, TCU, Seton Hall, OU or just about any other major conference team with two losses.
Still, we look very good to make the tourney. It would require a major collapse not to make it. To think they'll struggle to make it is completely ignorant.

Down to 17...

God damn do I hate OSU and seeing them being successful. Of course they're doing this to MSU, something I doubt we'll be able to do. Also it's still so weird to me that Dakich went there, I don't understand how you can possibly make that transition unless you hate Michigan.
January 7th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
A loss like this probably wakes them up even more when we play them.

best 3 pt % in the country at 41.4%, which is almost 6 (!!) percent better than Michigan.
They don't have a senior guard that plays the two. Their Soph PG is shooting 53% (!!), and Langford is at 46% (he's also a soph, maybe this is the guy you're thinking of?). Jackson is at 43% and it doesn't matter how ugly it is if it goes in. Could say the same about Z.
Those guys are driving their high %. Bridges isn't even that good at 34% but the rest of the team is shooting so well, the team is still 13th in the country.
Maybe you're thinking of a different team?

I really don't care for OSU basketball. I only care more about Indiana and MSU basketball because I hate them more than OSU basketball.

Caught a little of him talking on the Huge Show (I know, I know) and the dude is such a fucking prick about everything relating to Michigan. Maybe you should focus more on the systemic cover-up of rape at your institution, Mitch, and spend less time flapping your gums about Jim Harbaugh.

Lost their mojo

Would we expect anything otherwise.

You are right. We lost at Indiana when we were ranked #1
January 7th, 2018 at 11:33 PM ^
We were ranked #2 in that game. If we won that, we would've been #1 the next day.
When we lost as #1 it was at Indiana,

B10 needs a new scheduling format. There are enough dogs each year in the conference that you don't need to play so many SE New Mexicos.

Are there going to be protected rivalries? 20 conference games means you still play six teams only once.

January 7th, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
True but before today, no one cared that MSU only played OSU once this year. And I'm kind of glad we only play them once this year.
January 7th, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
North Carolina and Notre Dame are flawed. They lost their only other big game. Maryland is down two of their best players.
January 7th, 2018 at 6:33 PM ^
Xavier and Duke lost pretty convincingly yesterday. Xavier at Villanova Thursday.

Nova will be #1.
