Let's see here, MSU is 10 of 18 from deep. While Kentucky is 4 of 21. Any guesses who is winning?

Kucky looks like 
, not sure why they are still ranked #12 and are 3-1 headed to 3-2.
MSU is going to be a load in conference this year if they play every game like this one.

Jeremy Fears has 13 assists.
Supposedly wasnt good enough to play here over Skyy Clark and Jayden Epps.
Wow. MSU up by 20 with 3 min left.
At KY no less.

Sparty absolutely thrashed Kentucky. KY never in it and never made a run.

Big Ten looking like the strongest league as of now, IMO … let’s keep that perception going by whooping ‘Bama tomorrow!

Gonna be an epic B1G season
KY is not last year's team for sure

Shut down Kohler (sp?), and you stop MSU. Everything runs through him. If we are healthy, MSU will not be a problem.
Didn't KY pay 20mil? They have a few guys out but back to back semi-blowout losses...
#21 Arkansas at home only up by 2 over Winthrop (!) at half.

After seeing some scores and catching a few teams briefly, this would be my adjusted view on our Big Ten games, at least on paper...
Cannot envision a loss
vs. Rutgers
vs. Minnesota
Somewhat inexcusable to lose
vs. Maryland
vs. Northwestern
vs. Penn State (Philadelphia, PA)
vs. Nebraska
vs. Washington
SHOULD win but on the road
at Ohio State
at Nebraska
at Northwestern
at Maryland
Shouldn't lose these at home
vs. Oregon
vs. Indiana
vs. Wisconsin
vs. Michigan
Win if we bring our A-game, lose if we don't
at USC
at UCLA
Way tougher than we thought ... toss-up
at Iowa
Easily CAN win but definitely tough
at Purdue
at Michigan State
Teams have off nights and we shouldn't overreact too much this early (let's see how we do vs. 'Bama, for example!), but man ... competing for a Big Ten championship just seems flat-out realistic at this stage, and if you're doing that, you are putting yourself in that #1 seed conversation!

Their loss was to Louisville. No shame in that. Getting cut stomped vs MSU is a bit different.
Arkansas should not be ranked. Losing late in the second half to Winthrop, after beating Samford by 4.
Iowa approaching 30 free throws… with couple minutes left in 1H
He's played in 4 1/4 games to date. My guess is he'll develop well and will be a hell of a player. It's WAY too early for predictions. Heck, we can't even get a couple of our guys on the floor due to injury. I'm wondering if Petrovic is even on our roster.
Tre White's looks good. KU off to a great start.
