Yeah I know the competition is what it is but I love the pace of play. And we have some players on this team

First 3.5 minutes of second half, they look like a church league team. Too much street ball. He's got to work that out of these second line group!

Going to be very nice to have more guys capable of sinking 3s if Josh gets shut down or has a bad night. Kugel can be a difference maker

Watching the 2nd half, I’m seeing a lot of unselfish passing to set up easy shots. And we hit 100.

Athletic with some shooters. I'm optimistic but won't get my hopes up until conference play.

I can’t express how excited I am for the rest of the season. This reminds me of the depth of 04..05..but imo this is our best team in a long 17ing time. A looooong time.

I try to Forget about all of the positive sometimes because of other shoe to drop msstate shiit…but think about….when Murphy starts hitting a couple 3’s a game. Don’t sleep on his shot

Bro talking about 3 and 1/2 minutes of a 40-minute game
But.. similar to the chicks Todd Golden (allegedly) stalked, we don't look interested in D.
We are averaging 100 a game and giving up 60, okay

We were there last night, they put in a show!!
Guards are outstanding, if we can rebound and get average play down low this team could make some noise.

Never seen an MSU team with this many scoring threats and the athleticism is high. If we can rebound and get average play from the bigs we can make some noise. Best play of the night was when Jan’s benched all five starters for the second half and chewed each one of them as they walked by.

I think Jans is the best coach on campus. He gets the most out of his guys. I prefer that we play with a chip on our shoulder, but no way OM should be ranked over us. Wtf I don’t understand? They almost lost last night. I love how they clearly just pay for everything they have

You are my new favorite poaster, ‘96 vibes are pouring out of the Hump currently and our daft and dumb fanbase can’t realize that.

You and Agro-Tractor need to chill out a tad bit. Stereotyping the entire fan base into some box y'all create is purty Stoopid.

That said, I'm also excited about this team. It's obvious we have a lot of players who can play at a reasonably high level, which gives you a lot of options as a season progresses.

Thank all the gods that we are apparently no longer trying to compete for worst distance shooting team in the country.

It would be beautiful if all these under the radar players on both State basketball teams could make some noise and build excitement on campus

I’m trying to temper my expectations since we haven’t exactly played elite competition yet, but I’m really liking what I see from this group so far.

Hubbard and Harris are looking deadly from the perimeter, and it sure is nice having 4-5 guys that can actually hit a mid range jumper. I have questions about how well we’re going to rebound and defend against a team with strong post players, but I honestly don’t know how many of those there are out there. Probably not many
