Mike Williams was a worse shooter than Geo is, Freeman was a bigger black hole than anyone on our team, and Jacob is a better version of Corey Sanders
B1G Standings
1) Michigan 6-1
2) Iowa 5-1 1 Loss
3) Wisconsin 5-2 1 Loss
4) OSU 5-3 2 Losses
11) MSU 2-4 1 Loss
Right now, 4 of 5 losses were against 3 of the 4 best teams in conference, the 6th hardest schedule in the country. 7 games against the top 40 NET(3-4)
MSU is a matchup nightmare and a result of OSU and Iowa losses
We were lucky and got spoiled not to have an off night all of 2019-20 and MSU was the right team/place/time of RU things going wrong.
Is 11-4 Minnesota 18 pts better than 11-1 Michigan?
Is 11-2 Texas 25 pts better than 10-3 Kansas?
The final 12 games is a little less challenging but you can't sleep on anyone, 1 against Michigan, 2nd @ Iowa, 2nd vs MSU, and 2 against Minnesota. If we can just get healthy and reestablish the roles on team, we can get back to how good we looked in the beginning of the year. We have PSU, Indiana, MSU and NW to figure things out until the first Minnesota game.
Jacob bottomed @MSU, got healthy last 2 games.
Geo showed life against Purdue, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Mathis is going through something last 3 games.
Ron hit bottom against Wisconsin
It will take a few games for Cliff to get back in flow.
McConnell has knocked off the rust.
Still have Paul and Myles, adding Jaden Jones offensive ability,size,rebounding.
Will Reiber, Palmquist or Mag factor?
Can Pike bring it back together?
All valid that need to he figured out before Thursday.
