Another season of Teske moving screen no calls
I'm usually not engaged this early in the season, so correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Michigan State often struggle early in the season?The Challenge is 3-3, but the top did not deliver. Teske was the only guy who could score for Michigan and even he was not all the efficient. Winston may start to question why he came back, but Sparty will put things together eventually. Even with their tough schedule, no way should they be 5-3.
Yep. Always.I'm usually not engaged this early in the season, so correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Michigan State often struggle early in the season?
NIT this year. I see about a 7th-9th place finish in the Big 10 this year.strykerpks said:Bucky can't shoot. Rinse, repeat.
Yeah.... but they looked good in their non-conference games last year too.Mad Cow said:Bucks looking great, kicked the Heels trash tonight.
Is IU legit? That's a pretty darn good win over FSU.IU is rockin it tonight. They can't shoot like this all the time but they also won't turn the ball over like they did tonight. Got a few nice athletes out there.
Coach 'em up, Archie. Need to see something this year.
I have only seen that game and am homer so take with a grain of salt but...they have 3 or 4 nice big man options, well more hybrid forward types. The Freshman, Dale Davis' kid, looks like a the best athlete they have had there since Oladipo. He looks really fluid out there and knows how to play.Is IU legit? That's a pretty darn good win over FSU.
Did they have any signature wins though? They lost to Syracuse, I think at home. This year they've taken down Villanova and @UNC handily.Yeah.... but they looked good in their non-conference games last year too.

There was decent roster turnover going into last year also (KBD, Tate, etc all left), I always thought it was a transition year. Those freshman and transfers that came in last year are all playing important roles now. And true freshman Liddel looked really good last night, nice touch and looked fluid in the post.
Looking like an exciting conference season the way these teams are all playing.
There's not much uglier than running the swing for 33 seconds before clanging a shot off the rim.NIT this year. I see about a 7th-9th place finish in the Big 10 this year.strykerpks said:Bucky can't shoot. Rinse, repeat.
Same old disappearing offense we get from Turge. At least the team seems to ball out on D.Maryland's playing with fire, having these slow starts. Their only lead yesterday was the final score.
They play hard, but they've been behind pretty deep into their games in 9 out of 10 (they blitzed Marquette from the jump - the best team they've played )Same old disappearing offense we get from Turge. At least the team seems to ball out on D.

Disputing anything I said?
Make that 11 out of 12. They've looked truly awful three straight games now.They play hard, but they've been behind pretty deep into their games in 9 out of 10 (they blitzed Marquette from the jump - the best team they've played )
After 9 years, I STILL don't know what Turgeon's offense is supposed to do.
God, I hated that flex offense. But at least it would be an identity. They have zero right now.Make that 11 out of 12. They've looked truly awful three straight games now.
I would love to see some Gary Williams flex offense. Or any offense, really.
Think they had 14 made baskets, 15 shots blocked, and 16 turnovers. High quality offense.God, I hated that flex offense. But at least it would be an identity. They have zero right now.
Maryland plays like they will just out-athlete everyone. How'd that work against Seton Hall, boys? SH had - what? - 12 blocked shots? Yet, Maryland kept doing the same thing.
This reminds me of some of Lefty's teams - they just play dumb. Some of that is coaching and some of it is big heads from all of the preseason hype.
eta: good to see you back in this thread. I feel like I'm talking in a vacuum sometimes.
Huge win. Surprising too.I think these Badgers are up to something
Honestly didn't see this one coming. I watched the second half waiting for the planets to realign but the Badgers kept coming up with plays.I think these Badgers are up to something
Turg gonna Turg.Nice win for Maryland over Indiana today.
Yet another slow start but, once they got going, the Terps blitzed the Hoosiers. Indiana missed some open looks, but I thought Maryland's defense played really well.
I can't for the life of me imagine why Turgeon thinks his "NY Knicks 1972" weave offense does anything other than waste time.
