Man I love Jaren Jackson Jr. He has all the tools and a motor to be the perfect big man in the modern NBA.:wow:

Facts. Izzo will have them boys looking like a well-oiled machine by March. I'm high on MSU, they have the weapons.

Yeah, he is basically the ideal 3&D center. Definitely will be pushing early lotto by the end of the year.

someone sounds mad:sas1:

Why would I be mad that Winston and Langford look like ass at MSU when Beilein would have them in the 1st round after this year? :pachaha:

KU is very perimeter orientated,I've noticed they lack the frontcourt physicality that the other 3 teams tonight have.

Kevin Knox looks good, his ball skills and iso ability doesn't seem on the level as last year's class of elite wings though. When Kentucky gets Jared Vanderbilt back they'll be tough to match-up against. The raw talent on the roster and the fact they can switch 1-5 defensively when they have their big PG in.:whoo:

Duke kicked it to another gear and finished off the #2 team in the country- without even needing Marvin Bagley. That's crazy.


I expect Kansas beat Kentucky - KU's guard play is elite and experienced.

to even double down on that, the 2nd half they played a short bench (still have no idea why Bolden didn't get more than 9 minutes. He should have transferred , Coach K is a nut with his big man rotations. They legit played only 5 guys in the 2nd half...

billy preston in trouble again?

Yup something is awry with the car he wrecked. They said it’s registered with the compliance office but they’re digging deeper into it.

Izzo just coaches so scared when it comes to Dook. Why wasn't Miles put into one of the "high/low" spots in the middle of the zone? Having him float on the perimeter and rotate the ball was boneheaded. That doesn't absolve Miles from criticism either. He wasn't aggressive at all and settled way too often. Dook is a flawed team, especially without Bagley. No way MSU should have lost this game.
