If you are going to beat a Tom Izzo team, you might as well beat them by 20.

Msu looks like we did two years ago in transition. No effort at all.

Up 20 against Msu is a big deal.

It helps that Scott Drew doesn't have a punk of a son trying to run the show.

msu will be top 15-20 by march. this win and the oregon win can bump us up 1-2 seeds higher than if we had our usual non-conf schedule.

disagree with where Mich St will be, but agree we have bumped our seed. I see Mich St as being safely inside the bubble, but not a ranked team.

I'm worried about Mich St more than Oregon, but kinda worried about both teams, to be honest.

Mich St will turn things around..2 pt loss to Zona earlier..they can play with good teams and are very young at the moment. Oregon will win Pac 12 so thats going to be a high quality win. Even if Mich St is not great, beating Izzo and that brand helps a lot and if we play Ville then it would be b2b wins bs two of the best coaches ever.

I'm not trying to sell our great win short, just keeping it real.

Oregon winning the Pac 12 is from a sure thing right now, come on. saying it so confidently is kinda silly. they were always flipping coins with Arizona, and they have yet to play well. UCLA might be legit, too, based on early efficiency numbers.

kenpom had Michigan St going 19-11 (11-7) before today. beating Izzo like that is wonderful, but MSU will take a lot of Ls this year. Kentucky already beat them by 21 too.
