Rankings Update MSU slid a bit to #19/22 in the polls. Apparently, the voters weren’t impressed by the 118 points against Alcorn State. We’re up to #28 in the Sagarin ratings, but still down at #39 under the Kenpom version. The Return of Goran Draws Nigh Goran Suton practiced today, and his knee was reportedly [...]

Going into this weekend, I said a 2-1 record in the Old Spice Classic would be a “solid outcome.” But that was contingent on winning the opening game against Maryland–which we didn’t.

MSU defeats NMU in a landslide, 118-57. I ended up attending the game in person, which was good since it sounds like the streaming video thing wasn’t a flaming success. Michigan State came out flaunting their new high-tempo game plan. They applied full-court pressure on every made basket or dead ball. It’s not a full-court [...]
