Next year will be different. Should compete for a league title, more of a vintage Izzo team, probably a chance to make a deep run, but no chance to win a National Title unless Bridges comes back, and probably we would need to land 1 or 2 of the super recruits that we're not gonna land.

The CBB landscape is depressing. '14 was such a lost opportunity. Man, if Appling hadn't gone down against UNC. That was the most talented team we've had in a decade, and quite possibly ever.

Next will only be different if Ward, Langford, Winston and Jackson can all be double digit a game guys. Our 4 guards are Tum, Winston, Langford, and McQaid. Can Ward be a 16 point a game guy?

That team still wins if izzo rested Appling. still, that team relied on Harris way too much for offense

Team lost 3 players to the NBA. Had both guys go down that were supposed to replace Davis, replaced all three NBA guys with freshman, relying heavily in a freshman PG and two freshman playing out of position in the front court.

8 seed. Some if you people are really spoiled or just don't understand college basketball.

8 and 9 seeds are equal. No difference. They are seeded alphabetically.

its not alphabetical dope. It's which uniforms they think will be prettier on the court they are tasked with playing on. It's all about visual presentation to attract viewers.

I'm just glad "The Streak" is still alive. This is the worst season that I can remember during the Izzo era. At least after he got shit rolling, and we're still a 9 seed. That's pretty amazing.

We're spoiled and this thread represents that pretty decently.

Not to nitpick but we're a dumpster fire because we have a Swill poster who is a better basketball players than one of our point guards. Pay attention please.

The B1G will be better overall next year although a lot always inges on who stays and goes.

MSU just doesn't have any offense this year, and Bridges being our top scorer is gone. Who's going to score next year?

MSU will need Langford, Winston, and the frosh Jackson to all be double digit scorers. McQaid can maybe be a 6-7 point a game guy off the bench and we know Tum won't bring anything. Schilling, Goins and Tilman aren't scorers.

Since I have time to waste this morning.

Interesting that you talk about who is going to score next year and Ward's name never comes up.
Inge is long retired and was a baseball player so not germane to this discussion.
You're so damned certain Tillman isn't a scorer when he averages more ppg in HS than Jackson who you project as a double digit scorer.
McQuaid averages 6ppg now, so you feel there will be no improvement from his So year to his Jr year. That's not the norm.

As usual your post is a combination of pure bullshit thrown against the wall to see what sticks and mediocre trolling. Step up your game or quit polluting the board with this weak sauce.

Ward is the obvious #1 guy. We should be pounding the ball inside next year with him and JJ. Not sure what to expect from Schilling.

Very tough break for Carter and Schilling to miss the season. The guard play isn't consistent enough to make up for the lack of depth inside the paint.

I'd love to be wrong. :)

MSU either need to go 3-1 to finish the season or win two games in the BTT and have the second win be against Wisky/PU/Mary.

The frosh have hit the wall. Stick a fork in em. Hope im wrong, but we have been waiting the entire season for this team to figure it out. They have not. This team isn't going to all of a sudden go an entire half without a turnover in a big game like Wisconsin can.

Two of the top three teams in big ten scoring aren't in the tourney. This team is an 8 seed because they're young and haven't grasped defense at this level yet.

But what happened to the "everything will be fine in March" brigade? Did one loss turn them in to chicken shit pussies that no longer believe in Izzo? None of these spoiled brats that took a tourney bid for granted while the rest of us went to war have the balls to lay their asses on the line for MSU in the sweet 16 or beyond?

Actually in the pm's you were predicted not to make a choice but then chose the right side after. So like 7 people nailed you. I said you'd pick a side. I was wrong.
