#2 team in the country. Pretty cool.
Needless to say, we are drastically overmatched in this one. We
don't have a single advantage anywhere on the floor, and I would
not be surprised if we lost this game by 30. They have blue-chip
talent, good shooters, high flyers, they're relentless on the
glass, experienced, good leadership, the whole nine. It would be
nice if we could leave East Lansing with our heads held high,
having flown all over the court, not thrown the ball around and
popped them in the mouth a couple times.
For the record, though, our worst margin of defeat in our
Division I history is 55, when we lost 100-45 at fifth-ranked
Auburn back in 2000. Shouldn't get that bad.
Bridges is one of the premier talents in the country. Big Ten
Preseason Player of the Year, on the short list for the Wooden
Award, and a certain high pick (ESPN has him going to the Knicks
at 6:

/>If you didn't see it, here's an excellent story on why he
returned to MSU. Seems like an awesome kid and it makes me want
to root for them this season.

And yet Jackson may go even higher than him. He was a top 10
recruit nationally, and there's no reason to believe he won't be
a one-and-done. He's a lottery pick in most mock drafts – unlike
his dad, who was undrafted but played 13 years as a pro across a
number of leagues.
Athletically, I'm curious to see Saintel and Olaniyi against
these guys. I'm also curious to see how this PG situation plays
out.

I think Izzo keeps it respectable and they beat us by 20-25 .
No way can we compete with these guys given our recent history.
Just saw Bucknell beating up Maryland by 12 so far . If that
holds then we have our hands full again. Anyway Mich St 85 SBU
63 .

Is Izzo the one of cleanest coach in NCAAB? I mean in terms of
recruiting. He has a good reputation. Unlike some of the ACC
coaches.

And we're 6/8 from 3. If we keep hitting these threes we'll keep
it close. As was mentioned last week, being 33% from 3 is the
same as being 50% from 2. So as long as we keep hitting them
we'll be in business. The fact that we're not only leading but
it's a competitive game at this point is a testament to this
team and what we can do once AE play comes.

These high major games are some invaluable experience for the
players. AE teams would look smaller and easier to score on.

Win or lose. I love the attitude so far. Players don't look
intimidated.
