They have hovered in the 20-30 range in the NET most of the season. An MSU win at Purdue next weekend would be very helpful for multiple reasons.

Agree 100%
OSU could win out with that schedule and MSU could easily continue to drop in the standings going up at Purdue, NW and on the road at Indiana. Would be crazy to see OSU catch MSU.
Eh, I doubt it. Even with the win today, they're 3-7 in Quad 1 and 2-4 in Quad 2. They do have two quad 2 games remaining (home vs. Nebraska and at Rutgers) and a Quad 3 game (home vs. Michigan). Aside from the bad Quad 1 and 2 record of 5-11, they also have a bad Quad 3 loss at home to Indiana.
Sparty only scored 5 pts in last 9 minutes of the game. At home. Oof.
Assuming they don’t win at Purdue next week, and are sitting at 17-12, they are firmly on the bubble, right?

How much longer is Tom wanting to do this? He hates the portal. His results aren’t what they were. Sons a senior? He’s gotta be about done I would think.
Never heard of him. Does he shoot the 3 well and how's his inbounding?

The simple solution is MSU must now go win at Purdue!
I think we will need Nico to try and stay in front of Hawkins and Dain to body up Payne.
Going to be a tough game.

Admittedly, I wasn't watching this game at all. What was the reason Juwan was anywhere remotely close to that position on the floor?
Huskers are handling the Gophers right now. Gophers may not break 50.
Just like Penn State before playing us

Gophers are under 50 points with 7:50 left.
Probably saving themselves so they can drop 85+ on us.

Nebraska has a favorable schedule to finish. We have a very difficult schedule. Hopefully Nebraska trips up somewhere to make it a little more comfortable for the double bye.

But what about the second half. Just kidding
I actually think I saw a semblance of defense towards the end of the Iowa game. Maybe orange colored eyes... Only time will tell.
Illinois back up to kenpom 10 but our defense rating is 61. Ouch.
We just need to hold Minnesota to 20 points, problem solved
He saw Izzo do it against us, and was like, "Hell yeah! I knew I was allowed to do that. I'm gonna slap that zebra beyotch up. Hold me back, Dug, hold me back! You want none of this, ref. If Dug wasn't holding me back I'd kill ya!"
A big Sunday slate leading to some huge movement as far as BTT projected seeding is concerned. While the Top 7 stayed set in place, MSU and Minnesota with their losses have now fallen off the pace of the Top 5 teams and are now likely locked into being single bye teams. The biggest winner on the night was Maryland, as their road blowout of Rutgers vaulted them up 3 whole seeds to the projected 8 seed. If that holds, that would be a dangerous Quarterfinals opponent for Purdue the way they've been playing. On the flip side, Rutgers' big loss drops them 2 seeds down to the 12 and it is now looking very likely that they along with OSU, Indiana, and Michigan will be locked into the 1st round games. OSU's shocker of a win at MSU moves them up 2 seeds to the 11 seed. It's telling that despite that movement, they still are very much on the outside looking in to move into the single byes. Iowa's free fall continues after their loss to us as in 2 days, they've dropped from the 7 seed to the 10 and they lose all tiebreaks to both Maryland and PSU, so unless they win out to end the season, they're going to have a hard time moving up a seed. And finally, congrats to Michigan for being a single loss away from clinching the 14seed! We knew you could do it!

I feel like if we played at Nebraska this year, it would be ugly. Thank goodness we don’t have to.
FWIW I believe Edey will be driven down by the physical play in the NBA. he's slow and used to reaching rather the elevating. Any extended minutes will show the weakness in his game. Again. FWIW.
