How good is Belmont?  I haven't seen them play.

If you like well-coaches offensive basketball, Belmont is the team for you.  Still mad at the 2011 team, though.

If Stanford is a bubble team, MU has hope.

Stanford got a big assist from the committee when their relocated home games were changed to neutral site games. They played about 40 miles from campus and it most notably moved wins over Arizona & UCLA to Q1. That gives them 4 Q1 wins & along with a winning record is enough to keep them on the fringe. If Marquette had 2 more wins, any two, they'd likely be right there as well.

They are pretty good, but it’s hard to tell cause they’ve played literally nobody, the OVC is rough. The next best teams after them are barely top 150. They have a HORRIFIC loss to Samford.  Their very best wins would be like beating DePaul.

Belmont to the Big East to add the Nashville market.

How good is Belmont? Relative to what?

Casey Alexander would be the first person to say that their opponents' strength this year hasn't been great. (He's already volunteered this.) However, Belmont is good, as they often are as a program. They went from NAIA, to Independent, to Atlantic Sun Conference, to Ohio Valley, dominating each stop along the way.

Alexander won 30 games as a player 3 times at Belmont. He was an assistant to HOF Coach Rick Byrd for 16 years and help lead them to their first four NCAA appearances. As Head Coach, he led Lipscomb to its first ever NCAA appearance and the NIT Finals. In his two seasons as Head Coach at Belmont, he has gone 50-10, (33-5) with two Regular Season League Titles.

As a coaching candidate, if he had a strong staff with good recruiters for a higher level, I'd say throw the ball up and let's go.

Yeah and I know their best player has been injured. But, their play last night was way worse than the MU-DePaul slog which is hard to do.

Tom Izzo’s dedication to hacking, holding and hugging his way to the tournament sure makes for bad basketball

Michigan is dropping the hammer on MSU.  izzo looks upset, Joey looks disinterested.  I wouldn't be surprised if he left East Lansing.

Has anyone ever transferred back to a school they transferred from?  He is skilled offensively.  I'm guessing this isn't the season he imagined.

Third time a charm for Bucky? They will have a lot of PT available. Joey just simply isn’t at the level of player MSU needs to remain an elite program.

I would think those bridges have been burned to the ground if the stories of how he/Sam jilted them in 2019 are true

I was sort of asking in jest.  Izzo seems frustrated with him.

Of course Izzo is frustrated with Joey.

Maybe Joey can write a letter asking Wojo to come back.

I think their last 4 games have tumbled them out. I think they're closer on paper than they will be in the Committee room.

If he wants to come back to MU, lots of Scoopers would probably prefer he write a letter to Brian Wardle or Porter Moser.
