Probably the "weird guys" in his lineup.

don't disagree, but both Simpson and Watson are showing some flashes. All I am saying is it does not look like they got all the gold and we got all the scrubs. Winston had impressive numbers as well, but I would be interested to see what Simpson wouild do if he logged 32 minutes also.
December 19th, 2016 at 11:13 AM ^
would potentially be an excellent fit for us, and he looks light years ahead of X at this point, tempo-free, adjusting for minutes.
Winston has the highest assist rate in the country. That is, he assists more baskets when he is on the floor than anyone else in the country! That is not a counting stat, and it is pretty impressive. We could use a creator/distributor like that. His shooting stats are solid too. Only thing that's not great about his offensive game thus far is TOs which is understandable for a freshman PG and still lower than X's astronomical rate.
Wiston is playing less than 20 min a game, Simpson is playing 10 so it's not like there's a huge difference in role and one could make the argument that X's minutes have come against much easier competition (worse teams and backups more often than starters). They're both backup PGs and both backup mediocre starters and have opportunity to take minutes if they earn it. Winston is just demanding more playing time, whereas X is not.

As a WestNorthernSouthern fan...wait, I mean as a NorthEastern fan this is am ok win on paper but beating middling bottom of barrel Big 10 teams really doesn't do much for our NCAA chances. I wish we had played someone with some fight and vigor in them ala Northwestern.

Weren't they just supposed to "reload" like their football team was supposed to?
December 18th, 2016 at 10:26 PM ^
Yes, according to them. Those fans are such clueless idiots. Look, they had a nice run in football, but it's over. MSU was supposed to be good this season in basketball, but they're nothing special. I love this. Few things in life are funnier than miserable MSU fans.
December 18th, 2016 at 10:45 PM ^
Is it weird that I don't keep track or care if they win or lose any of their games in any sport?

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women."
Even if someone else crushes them, boy do I enjoy the lamentation of the womenfolk. Lament, you women.

but let me guess, you didn't grow up in East Lansing having to deal with those people for your formative years
December 20th, 2016 at 5:20 AM ^
A good third of my friends and family root for MSU. I guess I'm not surrounded by it everyday since I live out of state now.

Their basketball team is sputtering badly right now...
but at least Spartan fans have a bowl game to look forward to for their football team...
Oh...wait....
December 19th, 2016 at 9:50 AM ^
...RCMB was all full of "can't wait for hoops." What's the next "can't wait for" thing? Hope the ladies curling team is looking good.

New Year's Day Sale at World Market Stores. Quality furnishings at factory prices. Time to "reload" on living room sofas and loveseats.
December 19th, 2016 at 9:58 AM ^
I don't know how I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but Northeastern's hockey team was also in EL on Sunday, and finished up a 6-2 win over sparty in time to make it over to cheer on their basketball team.

Steering myself over to the RCMB as we speak... Gonna be some nice meltdowns.

I forgot how annoying it was with the auto-run video ads on every page, even with adblock.
So that ended quickly.
December 18th, 2016 at 9:41 PM ^
The dual auto play videos every page refresh at RCMB is the most obnoxious internet ad scheme I have ever seen. It's exactly what that fanbase deserves, but after SPARTY NO events like this it takes the fun out of heading over there for a good laugh.

However I felt the same after they struggled in football with Furman and....

Uh, this was widely considered to be an off-year for MSU. Got all of two votes in the preseason poll...
But, they're still probably better than this.
December 18th, 2016 at 9:16 PM ^
December 18th, 2016 at 9:22 PM ^
Cmon man.
They were ranked #12 preseason. The hell are you talking about?

Life lesson: When clicking on a link to a preseason poll, make sure the page isn't updated for Week 6 when you get there.
I'll take a lap.
December 18th, 2016 at 9:26 PM ^
I'll let you off with a pass as the AP poll website does not have an archive so it can be confusing for people who aren't familiar with the site.
December 18th, 2016 at 9:57 PM ^
You are insufferable.

There is no following around. He posts on the same board that I do. I stayed out of his last thread where things got out of hand, entirely, as I do on a lot of his bs. So drop the "following" routine. Certain things trigger me to speak, type, whatever.

I think WD is harmless and actually contributes some worthwhile information to the board.
On the other hand, you TIMMMAAY......
December 19th, 2016 at 7:53 AM ^
Ill finish it.... contribute jack shit.

make it worse for him. He's 21 years old. Let him stand up for himself just like every other poster on this board has too.
December 19th, 2016 at 9:13 AM ^
I'll be the very first one to call him out for posting with an asshole tone (which I agree, is frequent). There are a few people that are always posting on his comments.
