Good road win for our guys.

I was telling peeps before the season that decent xperienced players are worth more than stars. And #11 in the big ten was a joke. I predicted #6. I'm looking pretty good right now.

6 is too low at this point. I think they're a clear 2nd best team in the conference.

Super strong win on the road early in the season that will pay big dividends in the future, both as an early season test and solid resume piece.

LOL!! Between Michigan winning at PSU and now blowing out St Johns tonight, I think we have totally broken Sparty’s Brains!
They’ve got FBI investigations into gambling and other incredible theories about UofM going on! Just hilarious to see!

If they get slapped around by Duke tomorrow, the gnashing and wailing will commence in earnest. Lot of State fans suspect that Izzo is past it, anyway. Anything but a great season, after being ranked high so early, is going to leave their already dismal self-esteem in tatters.

Great road win versus a quality opponent.
Michigan felt pretty much in control after they got to 40 points or so.
Can't ask for much more. Dug looks phenomenal; he's just a blur times.
Good to see players playing within the system. Nice to see Burnett do well (though he cooled off), Tschetter looks like a solid 6 man. TWill seems better as well. Reed looked pretty good too.
Best thing was they didn't have to rely on Nkamhoua this game; this is a good thing as everyone is going to have an off night.

Quite pleased with how good we are looking compared to expectations. Honestly other than maybe Purdue, is there a team clearly better than us in the conference? It doesn’t feel completely unreasonable to think we can compete for the championship.
The one thing that might bite us in the ass is guard depth. Having Llewelyn back will help, but really wish we could have brought in another transfer guard after Caleb Love fell through.

Awesome game to watch. 〽️ controlled the tempo and scoring and we’re simply entertaining to watch. Much more than I can say for last years team.
