Based on early returns, I'd be quicker to drop MSU into that group than to move those 2 up.  Izzo will probably get it figured out, but it looks ugly so far.

And Indiana gets their first win.  Generally unimpressed with these teams, but time will tell.

Purdue at illinois today. I think I'm going to avoid punishing myself and watching it. Terrible matchup for the Boilers to begin with, and I think we're too young to overcome that on the road.

Looks like Shaka may have finally put it together in Austin.  They might have the #2 team in the nation.

MSU had more blocks in the first half than in their previous three games combined.  And all 4 came from freshmen

Good or bad three-point shooting can flip the script on a team that is otherwise playing good or bad. so if you said the only problem with this MSU team, is that they weren't shooting the ball well, whatever, that's mostly luck. But the way this team defends in the half court is inexcusable.  The Bridges/Jackson was an elite interior defensive team, but I thought this had the chance to be the best perimeter defense that is oh had had in a while. Usually len gth plus athleticism equals success. But the footwork of these guys, is abysmal. They can't stop the ball drive, and they do not get in shooters faces

As long as this is a 12 bid league, MSU should be ok

Wisconsin PSU postponed, apparently due to COVID though it's a bit vague
