No.  He has built up enough equity.   However, I am now up to 5 Spartan fans who have told me Marquette can have Joey back.    Consistent complaints about his defense and attitude.   These are in person conversations, I don't go to other team's boards anymore.

Seeing Tom Izzo struggle and appear clueless warms your heart on a cold winters day

Sam turned out to be the better player. Joey's just a guy at this point.

Grayson Murphy (13, 12, 10) becomes the first Ohio Valley Conference player with a triple double since...Ja Morant had 17, 11, 16 in a 2019 NCAA win over Marquette.

Belmont 22-1 (16-0) wins its 19th straight game, and just about clinches the league title.

Spartan fans are more frustrated about Rocket Watts than they are about Joey.

Crean to MSU?

Slightly better than a 6'9  chair?

6'9" chairs hold their position.

Hopefully Michigan isn't crazy rusty because they haven't played for more than 3 weeks.

[MuggsyB]

This is exactly what I was afraid of.  A gift win to Whisky vs a top 4 team.  The committee should take into account the 23 day lay off....unless Mich comes back.

If it was just more than 3 weeks without games it would be bad enough. But for most of that time they were not allowed any workouts except for things in their rooms. All because of the England variant of COVID in someone in the athletic program.

I wonder if the Badger parents will storm the court after their big win.

Blue, I feel strongly this should be taken into account.    Meaning it should not move Whisky up the seed line or Mich down the seed line.

Was that elbow intentional by Flopison?

[4everwarriors]

I don't go to other fanboards, but I wonder if MSUScoopers are saying that Izzo's players have quit on him, he's mailing it in, etc.

Nah Nads, he's legendary, aina?

[Mr. Nielsen]

That game was over within the first 8 mins.  Izzo looked distraught.

That game was so bad, FOX Sports and Gus Johnson were highlighting the team managers on both teams.

[wisblue]

Was that elbow intentional by Flopison?

If it was someone else you might be more inclined to say it was accidental. But the way he leaned in and extended the elbow into Smith's face, it makes you think it was intentionally subtle.

[GooooMarquette]

Was that elbow intentional by Flopison?

His official name on Scoop is Floppy McNutpuncher.

Bam.  Way to motivate your team Blue.

The defense really put the clamps on in the second half and they got just enough offense to pull it out. Great win.

Angry people looking for a scapegoat will invariably find one.

[tower912]

True, Lenny.  But if you read further you would have read that the Spartan fans I talk to are more frustrated by Rocket Watts.

Have Loyola-Drake on the iPad while I watch MU. Into OT at 45 apiece. Honestly a pretty gross game, neither team shooting above 38%, both under 20% from 3 most of the game. Just ugly basketball though hotly contested, Loyola completely dictating tempo tho

Sure, but Joey isn't very good. He was just okay here and hasn't been any better at MSU. He still has two years to improve.

[cheese ball chaser]

Looking for some other teams to follow that don't suck. Any recommendations? I'm thinking Loyola Marymount, Loyola Chicago and Illinois.
