Kenpom: Michigan is #23, MSU is #32. <eom>
November 14th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
Oh, I forgot.
LOL
November 14th, 2023 at 9:36 PM ^
"Just wait until basketball season..."
Bwahahaha
November 14th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
We are the #2 team for the Big Ten, after Purdue, which is #1.
November 15th, 2023 at 12:56 PM ^
That's kind of sad really. I get it's early, but still, wow. For awhile we had overtaken the ACC for the best basketball conference; having the second highest team at #23 is a far cry from that...
November 14th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
All thread titles should finish with “end transmission”.
November 14th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
You love to see it.
November 14th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
What threat?
November 14th, 2023 at 9:47 PM ^
Lil bro is #1 at slapping the floor, though.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
Nothing like being ranked #1 at one of the dumbest traditions in the entire sport… Obligatory.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:18 PM ^
He only made those plays because he had clearly stolen their signs.
November 14th, 2023 at 11:38 PM ^
Just absolutely no regard for player safety- savage he was! :)
November 14th, 2023 at 10:33 PM ^
I always thought it more of a microphallus-compensation ritual than a tradition, though I guess they've been doing it so long it's probably both by now.
November 14th, 2023 at 11:04 PM ^
You’re spot on- the tradition itself is microphallus-compensation :)
November 15th, 2023 at 7:42 AM ^
Actually, they're tied with Duke at floor slapping. And Duke was doing it well before Staee started.
November 14th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
I imagine MSU will drop lower with loss to Duke tonight.
November 14th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
I know that MSU is usually in their best form later in the season, but these dudes simply can’t shoot the ball. I don’t know if that is something you can really get around, particularly when you have nothing down low. Without Hauser, I think you just sag to prevent the drive and I’m not sure how they beat you.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
"I know that MSU is usually in their best form later in the season"
Are they though?
November 14th, 2023 at 11:26 PM ^
They haven't been amazing in March recently.
November 15th, 2023 at 12:23 AM ^
Until they lose in the first or second round in NCAA every other year.
November 15th, 2023 at 8:26 AM ^
Middle TN and Syracuse beg to differ.
November 14th, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
Prediction: After UM takes care of business vs Long Beach State on Friday, on Monday UM basketball will be in the AP top 25.

I’d rather stay unranked for awhile, keep them hungry, at least until after the Bahamas trip. I’d love for them to go in there and win that thing and come home undefeated still.
November 15th, 2023 at 1:33 AM ^
No, feed Dug now.
November 14th, 2023 at 9:59 PM ^
I am going to that game with my son. First time at Crisler in a bit. $5 lower bowl seats. Can’t do a high school game for that!
November 14th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
At least they still have football...
November 14th, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
Uh, they do...???
November 14th, 2023 at 11:02 PM ^
Technically it's still an intercollegiate sport offered there
November 15th, 2023 at 12:24 AM ^
They beat Nebraska while their coach was crying.
November 15th, 2023 at 4:34 AM ^
Get a grip!
November 15th, 2023 at 11:25 AM ^
I think you mean, at least they still have couch burning.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
State looks awkward like we did last year. Pieces don’t fit. Walker will win some games but I’m not seeing the final four caliber team everyone has been talking about.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:21 PM ^
At least they still have Izzo.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
Can't overlook Izzo. But you can look over him quite easily.
November 15th, 2023 at 4:36 AM ^
I hadn’t noticed.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:36 PM ^
Hold me closer, Tiny Tommy.
November 15th, 2023 at 4:38 AM ^
Tiny Tony does.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
Izzo was remarkably calm whiled getting "Duked" tonight.
November 15th, 2023 at 2:11 AM ^
Maybe he's growing up... :)
November 15th, 2023 at 6:48 AM ^
He's used to losing to Duke.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:26 PM ^
It's also weird seeing Hunter Dickinson in a Kansas uniform. No love for Kentucky, but having Kansas go down tonight would be fun. Trailing by 5.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:42 PM ^
Do the announcers refer to him as Michigan Transfer Hunter Dickinson?
November 15th, 2023 at 5:09 AM ^
Turncoat Midwestern Seeker? :)
November 14th, 2023 at 10:32 PM ^
How can a 1-2 team be ranked 32? Is preseason rankings heavily weighted or what
November 14th, 2023 at 10:43 PM ^
Izzo was outcoached by Coach K…er…Coach S tonight.
November 14th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
Got to be embarrassing for their entire fan base.
Lil bro claim to fame is getting an average James Madison team ranked.
Thats 85th ranked JMad according to KP.
