    The center position will be an Achilles heel for MSU. They have had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find one in the portal.

    My post was in response to someone saying this years team was going to be like the 2005-2006, which is silly. It’s not like there wasn’t other good players on that team but it’s not close to the balance and depth this next years team will have. I loved that 2005-2006 team and was in krush...

    Don’t pretend the above isn’t an exaggerating also. Only McBride got above 9 points per game (10.0). All those guys you mentioned were one dimensional even if they had roles to play. I enjoyed that team but my point was don’t compare it to this one.

    That 05-06 team was a two man show.

    Fully agreed. That 05-06 had so little support for Auggie and Dee Brown. There was plenty of hype around some others like Brian Randle but really there were just two reliable scorers in that squad.

    I feel like we are one athletic lead guard from being truly elite next year. So often ncaa runs require good guard play. Such an add truly raises our floor. I trust the staff though. If they think the freshman are ready for this role, then they are.

    Did we ever learn more exactly about why he left mid season?

    I gambled and bought four tickets for the second round in St. Louis; since we are not in St. Louis, I need to resell. Any idea the best place to do that? Ticketmaster seems to have fee for buyers and sellers so makes the price go up a lot.

    Week of 3/2 Bracketology

    Anyone know if there is still a decent chance we play in St. Louis? I may buy tickets now just in case (I’ll be in St. Louis conveniently that weekend anyways).

    Wisconsin 92, Illinois 90 OT Postgame

    We forget how much Andrej does. We were shorthanded and our guys looked tired. Down two starters at the guard position against a couple great guards Wisconsin had and we still almost won. I’m not worried about this squad competing against anyone when healthy.

    Pregame: Illinois at Michigan State, Saturday, February 7th, 7:00pm CT, FOX

    I’m only worried about some weird reffing or fouling situation. Like last years sensitive/phantom foul calling against Kasparas or the 2021 employment of Jordan rules against Kofi and Ayo. I think that’s the only way we lose. Msu just isn’t close to as deep or talented right now...
