Get that expletive out

@Crimsonorblue22 And better

They are bigger but we are quicker

Michigan St players take after their coach with all the whining

Running away with it with some young guys is fun

Also, MSU slapping the floor? Super lame. Don't be like Duke

Pettiford pushing right away. Underrated

Bilas called the block on Ochai straight up but that's an obvious foul on Mitch? Okay

Ochai

"Connor" Gillespie lol

Not just to give up the offensive rebound, but then not being able match-up on defense when it was 5v4 because that MSU player went diving into the bench.

Bad Harris. Don't need that

Were you expecting Uncle Fester to say something worthwhile?

Fortunately we have depth this year for when Braun is not going

I'd rather Remy take no shots than too many. Let's wait longer than 1 half of basketball to move him to the bench.

"Small ball" lineups with Clemence and Wilson might be pretty nice

KJ nice

That reminds me of a Michael Jordan highlight, except MJ finished but ya

Finish damn

Straight to the vein inject that

CB needs to stop doing stupid things.

Also please play Pettiford and Clemence a lot, Bill

Weak

Ngl I already like Clemence more than Dave

Dave's adventures in the low post

That sequence makes me miss Frank Mason

Yuck Dave

Nice pass CB

Yikes Braun

@BeddieKU23 Counterpoint: It's a smart foul because it gets him out of the game faster.

He travelled before the charge anyway

Weak

@BShark I have that expectation. I'll probably just be disappointed.

Calling a timeout in a 13-point game with 20 seconds left. Yay

@rockchalkjayhawk CB probably will when Jalen comes back

Are we good

MSU start 7'0, 6'9, 6'8, 6'6, 6'0 so maybe Self goes bigger

I would assume Harris, Remy, Braun, Agbaji, and Dave

Hopefully enough so that I don't have to see Mitch a lot

@drgnslayr said in Early Michigan St thoughts:

Wow! They are considerably taller than us! We better get out and run! Better hit the defensive boards hard because I'm sure Izzo will be targeting the offensive glass with this size difference!

This is correct. Not having Jalen for this game really sucks.

Jalen Wilson is (imo) the best player on this team, and we're really going to miss him when we play Michigan St. That said, I think our guard play will be good enough to win, and I don't necessarily mean that Remy is going to score 25 points. Ochai, Braun, Dave, JCL if he plays are the type of players who benefit a lot when another player can get them the ball in their spot (catch-and-shoot 3's or in the post), and I think our guards are good enough to do that this season. I'm thinking Ochai has a big game and 1-2 other players get hot from deep.

I am nervous about our defense, though.

Things you love to see.

Their game against Duke might get ugly.

I like our guards this year

@BShark First you break JCL's toe, and now this. Be better

Is Dave still super spazzy?

Has Clemence played any?

How are we looking?

@BeddieKU23 I don't like many things about this. South Carolina did a similar thing and didn't get punished nearly as badly. Lamont Evans, the assistant coach who got OSU in trouble, also worked at USC. USC has not received a postseason ban. The timing, doing this now as the season is starting, sucks. None of the current players at OSU had anything to do with this. It also feels like the NCAA wanted to wait until Cade Cunningham left before they punished OSU so that their tournament would have better ratings.

It's hard to see this and not think the NCAA has some sort of grudge against OSU (they successfully sued the NCAA a while ago). The lesson here is don't cooperate with the NCAA.

Let's go boys

@BShark Ya they would be ranked 26th in both polls if they were extended beyond top 25. I still feel like really good is pretty strong language for MSU.

Really good seems generous. They are unranked in both the AP and the Coaches poll. I guess we'll see.
