I want more. Also, we get to root for a team where a 2nd place B1G finish and a sweet 16 feels like a failure. Again, I want more. But none of this is guaranteed. Look at KU, Kentucky, UNC, Louisville. I’m not trading places with any of them right now. I also love the tourney streak.
So many different tools in the chest.
Izzo is old, grumpy, and says plenty I don’t agree with. He also loves CBB and MSU and built MSU hoops into something I love as well. I’d like him to coach my favorite team (bitching all the way) as long as he’s able and wants to.
I agree with what you - call it out. But Izzo’s been at it 30yrs and has adapted plenty over that stretch. I do think this will be the straw that breaks the back, but to tell a person that truly loves the sport he’s helped foster to get out bc it’s different now seems a bit black and white.
“Play better on offense and defense” is an all timer 😂
Moved through it quicker than I’ve ever seen.
Pretty different games imo. Only had 8 turnovers in that one and Fears didn’t make a bucket from the field. I dno, I’m not ready to hit the panic button quite yet. Guys can grow. Jase wasn’t Jase until Feb of last year.
Unfortunately, sometimes it takes an actual L to deliver the necessary kick in the ass.
Tough to overcome 19 turnovers and only 2 pts from 55. Good for the new/young guys to see what it looks like to go on the road in the B1G.
Practices without full participation due to finals, I think
Saw that guy in the yax jersey. Stay tf home. What are you doing?
I’ll take a high floor after the past several years. Let’s see what he can do in a different environment with different resources. It helps that he didn’t come with a buyout, or (likely) high salary expectations
Would love this, but I’m pretty sure they only had 5. Teng, Fort, Kohler, Carr, McCulloch.
Sleepers and TFFINOTS both mentioned a Trilly Donovan post in reference to the Jervis and Taylor recruitments in which he said Izzo has unlimited NIL money, likening it to an ATM. What do you know about this? Is Magic funding the East Lansing Promise?
If MSU sophomore Kur Teng ever feels like things aren’t going his way, he doesn’t have to look far for a reason to be grateful, or to realize the opportunity in front of him is too great to squander.
Column on Teng, who's driven by his parents' sacrifice.

This has been the product he’s rolled out every week since he arrived outside of the Iowa game last year. I was rooting for him, but it’s not going to work. There has to be something to point at as proof of concept of how this will work. We haven’t seen it.
We have plenty of warts, but that’s a well coached team with a poised QB. Interested to see what they do in the ACC.
Demetre Daskalakis' resignation letter. One for the history books. www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-resign...
On Monday you casually mentioned Izzo needing to be talked out of questionable assistant hires in the past - give us names!
My son is staring soccer with the cap city kickers. Will you be coaching? Can I find lines on the asian market?
Love the pod, but the new wix ad breaks are ass. At least give the space to Groovy Donuts.
100%. It’s a hierarchy of needs issue. This is privileged pursuit of self-actualization.
I think I might know who that coach was 😂
Any scoop on additional urinal targets? Should be able to get a solid 2 guard. Asking anyone decent to come be backup PG is a tall task. A single combo guard doesn’t feel like enough, but maybe that’s “strength in numbers” recency bias.
Jason, got any new Masters bets to sprinkle after Thursday?
Where are people seeing this?
I think we matchup well. They’re a poor rebounding team and lack true size. Biggest guy that plays real minutes is 6’9”. They’re also better at running teams off the line than keeping them out of the paint. We’ll see Friday, but my initial feelings are positive.
Will be interesting to see what Bama and Tenn do during the SEC tourney, too. A bad loss for either could help move the needle in our direction
Win Sunday and make the BTT finals and I think there’s a possibility.
Settling for 3s. Not attacking. Not communicating well on D.
