Exactly. They’re still a top 15-20 team in all key metrics like kenpom, torvik, net etc. don’t be fooled by the record. Big w

Some of those drives by Ty made me think he is channeling his inner TSJ,
Do not disrespect my man Rafferty! He's a saint and had to offset awful Billy packer for many years!

MSU was preseason top 10 for a reason (not sure they ever deserved top 5, lol…), so I’ll take this win and be happy!
A lot more brilliance tonight.
His defense is stellar!

We had trouble having Domask and Ty on the same side of the court offensively initially. It was much easier to double Domask because he isn’t an outside threat. Ty had a great game, but having 4 other outside shooters with Domask allows Domask to be more effective. Dain is a defensive liability with the switches. Happy we got the win. That was a Ssressful game.
That is seriously impressive then
not that I think he's playing great but we had 8 scholarship players tonight and Dain and Dra are barely playing and for good reason. So we had a rotation of 6, Goode has to play
He's playing so much better than he was the first 8 games this season, it's honestly incredible. His defense was abysmal to start the season and both the eye test and analytics showed it. But he's flipped the switch since TSJ has been out. It’s a pleasure to watch. He has absolutely been a big time player for us these past few games and I'm thrilled
I think MSU had a few over the backs when they had tap outs over Hawkins who looked like he boxed out and there looked like there was some contact
In a place that is no stranger to terrible hot takes, this is up there with the worst..
Congrats!
x2, heard way more than I needed to about what Izzo thought of the officiating.
He plays good defense and is a 3 point threat. You can tell teams do not want him to get lean looks. He is a contributor and belo in the rotation.
Nah, they were pretty good. Izzo is always gonna get some extra attention, but the announcers called it relatively down the middle.
Hawkins' defense tonight was very special.
If he can string games like this together he will rise on draft boards.
He is what the NBA likes.

Why? Bill Raftery is very entertaining to listen to. For an old schooler, he is a good color commentator
Great adjustment by the team.
Yeah, OBTW, Ty Rodgers 6-8 from the field, and 3-4 from the stripe. Haters, your table is ready . . . .in Bloomington.
MSU is talented and was desperate tonight. Izzo advertised from the NW postgame that they would come out “physical” tonight. Refs were fair, but probably allowed more contact than I can remember - which certainly aided Izzo’s goal. And Domask had a bad first half. And we won (when half the top ten lost this week). Great, great win.

Refs let them play, no horrible calls, and very little bitching.
