Yeah, Izzo scares me more than any single player in the B1G. MSU always plays better than the sum of their parts.
Either way, the winner Wednesday night will sit in first place with a MASSIVE win in our only matchup of the season. I don't need to go on and on about how huge this game is, but getting a win vs. a fellow first place team before the following home stretch is, obviously, massive:My point is those aren't 'unbelievable' games. You are over-exaggerating Davis accomplishments. They are good but not that good.
Speaking of … GOD, I wish we had that Marquette game back. It’d literally be a Q1 road win now!
I agree with you that he hasn't had many chances, but you did leave Arizona out.
Not talking about those games, I said those were very good games. The other games mentioned: MSU and Marquette were not.
I didn't but that's one. I don't think these games matter that much in deciding who gets rewarded. I always feel like being the best player on the best/better team will get rewarded. Although that didn't seem to matter last year with Garza winning everything. Anyway just win on Wednesday that's what matters more than anything. Kofi could score 40 and if we lose I won't care.
tomorrow ?.....................................I must be really high and missed Monday ..............So excited for this one and the upcoming schedule. PSU at home is the only "opportunity" left for a terrible loss, and I say bring on the big boys. While the schedule is brutal, that is also what enabled last year's team to go from #22 in the AP Poll hoping for a decent seed to an undisputed #1 seed - beating good teams. This team has the ability to gel quickly and get red hot, IMO. Here are the standings as we head into this week:
1. #11 Wisconsin: 8-2
1. #18 Illinois: 8-2
2. #13 Michigan State: 7-2
3. #4 Purdue: 7-3
4. #16 Ohio State: 6-3
5. Indiana: 7-4
We need to be rooting for Maryland to knock off MSU in College Park on Tuesday, and I wouldn't mind seeing Minny score the upset vs. Purdue before our game, either.
(NET Rankings):
at #29 Indiana
at #8 Purdue
vs. #78 Northwestern
at #113 Rutgers
at #18 Michigan State
vs. #19 Ohio State
at #47 Michigan
vs. #96 Penn State
vs. #23 Iowa
Our opportunity to wrack up Quad 1 wins starts tomorrow. Let's make the most of it!
SD alumni club used to watch at McGregor's but attendance and location were bad, so not sure if they still do. Better bets may be The Local downtown (but its a Badgers bar) or hoping one of the many sports bars in PB will play it (SD Taproom is great).
It is tough for Kofi because someone has to get him the ball first, but you are correct 2 of Kofi's 3 worst games were against Purdue and Arizona.
All Trent needs is 3 minutes off in both halves and Belo could do that running at 10%
For the life of me I can't remember sweating or not and I started until we moved to a new school when I was a Junior.I wish, I was never in the games long enough to break a sweat.
I can't imagine it ever getting cancelled even though the bad weather is probably going to hurt our home-court advantage. Figures.
