This was awesome. I'm standing in the studen section and turn to my friend and go "Why the f*** is Bielfeldt coming in?". He then drained a 3 and shut me up real quick.

Points tonight. Was Caris feeling ill? He was not on. Took my daughter to the game and told her that whenever Max was in last year it was not a good sign and that she should watch Caris. Man was I wrong.

When Bielfeldt took that first 3-pointer I was like "whaaaat are you doiOH MY GOD!"

Score 18 points, get a body guard.

He could be the body guard's body guard. 

I noticed in the first game that Max had developed a shot this year.  I think he stroked a 10 footer for all net that game, and looked good doing it.  Good to see, happy for the senior and his calves.

If Bielfeldt keeps this up... does the prognosis on the season change (granted it was Bucknell but still)? Think Beilein is gonna keep him out there longer to see whether he can keep it up throughout the year?

He could play a decent offensive role if this wasn't a fluke, but I can't see him playing serious minutes still.  He is highly undersized as a five and even had defensive lapses tonight.  Don't get me wrong, it is very encouraging to see him progress his offensive game, but I just don't think his defense and size will cut it in Big Ten play.

This was great to see and this team looks like one that is going to be fun to watch yet again. I joked about it on Twitter, but if this keeps up, a few "Max MF Bielfeldt" signs would loo kpretty cool in Crisler, I would think. Nice performance tonight from him indeed.

Beilein said this offseason no one in the Big 10 could check Max.  Dont doubt Coach B!

A fun night but reality is he was facing guys who athletically he was similar to.  Will be a step up in athleticism in the Big 10 but I do think we can get a good 10-13 minutes a night MOST nights out of Max and that would be great for all invovled.

The good thing with this deep of a rotation is we can find the hot hand each night and ride that dude barring foul trouble.  And we have 20 fouls to give at that positions with Donyle, Max and DJ.  Not that we foul that often but instead of letting teams waltz to the rim we can at least make them earn it at the foul line when necessary.

Fun fact - Max scored more tonight than the entire 2013-2014 season.

Loved the game last night, but those announcers were really bad. The one kept talking about having a crush on Caris LeVert.

Is this what it feels like to have a complete homer calling your games? How do MSU and IU fans stand it?
