I wasn't buying Minnesota stock when people were saying they are good. After a closer inspection, It's a record built on twigs. I give them credit for the Iowa win, but Michigan State is not good this year. They've played mostly a soft like N. Dakota, Green Bay, Loyola Marymount twice, Boston College, and Kansas City. If they can play .500 ball over the next few games (Michigan 2x, @ Iowa, andOSU), then I'll start to believe.
Michigan and Maryland on ESPN at 8. We'll learn a little bit about Michigan. I can't believe Maryland beat Wisconsin. Wisconsin doesn't look anything special, but Maryland was meh. Minnesota hit every shot at the end of the Iowa game and MSU is not good right now. I'm sure MSU will improve, but I wouldn't put much in that Iowa win for Minny.
Wisconsin seniors are legit, but against fast teams and teams who force them to use their bench can beat UW. UW is not going to beat themselves. They rely on you making too many mistakes.
Maryland is playing better since we beat them.
Potter played very well. If Myles gets in foul trouble he could be a problem for us I agree Carr had a very bad game.
Minnesota beat Iowa and hammered MSU by 25 and we have folks saying thats twigs...horrible takes. Are they a top 5 school in league? No but they are good enough to beat any team in league on a given night
Half time preview of our game against Iowa. Pinch me!!!
I stand by the twig statement after watch Minnesota against Loyola Marymount, BC, and N. Dakota. They didn't leave a strong impression. If you struggle one game, you get a pass but several show a pattern. The Iowa game was great, but we all know MSU is not its usual self. If Minnesota is for real, then the next four games will go a long way in defining them as a team this year. They play Michigan (twice), Iowa, and Ohio State.
