On an unrelated note, I hate Kentucky. Edit: And sparty slips to #20. /giggle

With Doook for 40 minutes. They didn't look awful. Well, fugly not awful.
November 24th, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
did no such thing. Duke dominated that game. The final score was respectable because Duke just coasted. State was never in that game.
Trice is a baller. Other than that, State may be in a bit of trouble this year. They were very..... non-threatening. Unless Dawson miraculously develops a mid-range game soon I don't know about State this year.

He's an athletic freak and assaults the rim like it insulted his mother, but he shoots from the elbow and beyond about as well as I do.
I don't even think Trice's production is sustainable. State won't be terrible, because they rarely are, but I see what you mean.

I hate me some Sparty but they were generally down 5-10 in that game. Down by seven at the half lost by 10 in the end. It's not a blowout simply because you could've blown them out they hung with them the whole game

Duke dominated and was up by as much as 16 and coasted. Where did you get they hung with them for 40 minutes? MSU had a run to get it close at one point but Duke had at least a 8-10 point lead for 80% of the 2nd half.
November 24th, 2014 at 5:36 PM ^
C'mon man give them credit they hung tough I don't think we would keep it that close at this point in the season
November 24th, 2014 at 6:51 PM ^
That game was a blowout. Krusewewski took his foot off the gas. If you think we would not do better than that against Duke you have not been paying attention.
November 24th, 2014 at 6:15 PM ^
Hey, Izzo had to play two walk-ons against Duke. He made that very clear to everybody. I mean, what's the man to do?
November 24th, 2014 at 6:30 PM ^
Struggled to a 4 point win over Navy. Navy has been obliterated by every other team they've faced.
November 24th, 2014 at 3:56 PM ^
I don't think Michigan is the 19th best team in the country yet, but they will be that or better in a couple of months.
November 24th, 2014 at 3:59 PM ^
The next couple of games should help us calibrate our expectations for the rest of this year.
November 24th, 2014 at 4:00 PM ^
Oh no, Izzo not happy....
November 24th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
I hate Izzo.
I really do.
I want to shove an apple in his mouth and tell him to go have a seat over there.
November 24th, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
18th in Kenpom*, which is all that really matters.
*Crazy small sample.
November 24th, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
Would have been nice to see Oregon ranked :)
November 24th, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
With Minnesota, Indiana, Nebraska, and Illinois receiving votes (in that order). Basketball conferences, man.
November 24th, 2014 at 4:26 PM ^
I'm not optimistic about tonight. But this is the time of year for losses. That said, I love winning. You know what I'm saying? It's, like, better than losing.
November 24th, 2014 at 4:41 PM ^
All this tells me is that Michigan finally has some name recognition again when it comes to basketball and voters are finally recognizing Beilein's ability to develop guys. We're definitely not top twenty at this point in the season because we have zero depth. Looking just at minutes it appears that Oregon does. I'm worried about tonight.
November 24th, 2014 at 6:27 PM ^
Has the best backcourt in the conference and potentially the nation. Much is made of the weak interior but the defense is better overall this year than the last two years. Post defense was non-existent last year even with Morgan.
November 24th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
Not sure why or how, but I will take it! 5 spots is a nice jump, go blue!
November 24th, 2014 at 5:35 PM ^
4 teams ahead of them lost so its not that suprising. We can prove we deserve it this week if we win the legends tourney wr a legit top 25 team
November 24th, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
When's the last football season we went unranked wire-to-wire?
November 24th, 2014 at 10:36 PM ^
2008 if I'm not mistaken.

I thought Michigan was #23 or something before the opening day loss.
