They still might be the 3rd best team in the B14.

The Big 14 is Purdue on level one, Indiana and Rutgers a level down, then a bunch of average at best teams.

Wonder if Izzo will blame Twitter after the game

Edey apparently wasn't phased by Izzo's strategy.

He just toyed with the Spartans

I think every single big msu plays this year has a career game

Sparty's interior defense doesn't exist

[MU82]

Despite 3 points and 3 rebounds from Joey Hauser, Sparty finds themselves down 17 with 5 minutes left at Purdue.

Be nice. Joey finished with 3 points and 5 rebounds!

Heckuva player, aina?

[Newsdreams]

Now Hoggard has to be restrained by Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo as Hoggard jaws at his teammates.  Very interesting

Letter coming up?

[Uncle Rico]

Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo better get control of his roster

[MuggsyB]

Did he "defend" Edey?

I remember going to an open practice with my wife when Joey was a frosh and the next big recruit at Marquette.

I'm watching practice thinking to myself 'this dude doesn't look that impressive' so I ask my wife what her thoughts are on the little Hauser and she goes
"Well he doesn't seem very athletic, he's pretty slow, and he seems like he's got kind of a crappy attitude."

She didn't know ball, but she was definitely on to something.

He'd excel in a league like the A-10.  Teams with brutes and athletic bigs are too much for him.  Also, this isn't the most talented Spartans team.  He'd thrive in a role where he can grab boards and shoot 3's and play in a more efficient offense.  Sparty offense is just stagnant and inefficient

He is a great shooter and a decent rebounder.

That actually is his role in Sparty's offense. He usually just stands outside the 3-point line, ready to shoot if he gets a pass. It has to bring back so many fond memories of playing with Markus ... except he's now playing with TWO guards who often don't particularly enjoy passing him the basketball.

I'm a bit surprised that Izzo doesn't reign them in a bit unless he thinks it's their only chance to win.

[MuggsyB]

Purdue was the better team vs MU but don't forget we had a lead in the 2nd half and are playing much better hoops right now. No team in the country will scare our group

[Uncle Rico]

Yup.  On this team, they aren't maximizing that

[willie warrior]

Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo better get control of his roster

Yes, that Hall of Famer needs your sagacious counsel

Has a hard time getting open, a little slow a foot.

Is Joey 30 yet?

[PGsHeroes32]

If the final 36 minutes are the same as the first 4 minutes of this Texas/Baylor game not sure how either fanbase survives. Anxiety levels are going to spike.

Both teams playing like they got rabies right now

[MuggsyB]

Texas Tech was favored against Iowa St? 

[MuggsyB]

It's tough.....I suppose we want Baylor over Tex.
