Completely forgot there was an MSU game on last night. Holding your opponent to 45 points seems like a pretty good way to win!

Pfft, they're only up 6 at the half at home. Sure, Minnesota is ranked, but whatever.

Correction:

The lead is now 32 and there's still 3+ minutes left. Yikes.

College basketball fans in Michigan basically have two questions:

1) how bad is Duke? (about MSU)
2) how good is Oakland? (about Michigan)

Hunter Dickenson bailed Michigan out of that Oakland game, and ever since, it's like they've unlocked a murder machine. If Hunter's quiet before halftime, the other team adjusts to guard the perimeter and oops Hunter scores 20. If they adjust to double hunter oops some other dude scores 20. Then it's like "wait wtf how'd they get up by 20 so quick?"

Michigan has 6 guys that could carry the team on any given night.

Keegan Murray per 40: 18 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.8 steals, 3.3 blocks, 54/44/78 shooting splits.

One of the best freshmen in the conference, he's basically Aaron White with a jumper. Coaching malpractice that he is not playing starter minutes, there's no excuse for ever putting Garza and Nunge on the floor at the same time when he exists. This is going to drive me insane all year.

Those 2 fouls against Johnson in the first OSU game did it. They blew the Iowa game at the line and then 2 horrific games in a row. Crisis time.

Kentucky's back, y'all! 76-58 win over Florida and it really wasn't that close. Keion Brooks, the only returner with minutes from last year, played his first game of the year after being out with a calf injury, and I don't know if it was solely his presence that made the difference but he certainly made an impact on the game.

Obviously still a lot of work to do to make the tournament but that looked like a completely different team tonight.

Reports of Kentucky being back may have been premature and overexagerated. Alabama was 14-30 from 3. Kentucky had 19 turnovers. Those are the only stats you need to know.

They should be #2 right after Gonzaga. It's the reality of being ranked way too low at the start of the season. It normalizes over the course of the year and means jack poo poo for the NCAA tournament seeding so calm down Declan.

Baylor above them would be fine.

The last AP was before the Wisconsin game when they still hadn't really played anyone, they will be like second or third whenever the new one comes out. They're 4 in KenPom but I assume that's some combination of whatever preseason is in there and the increasingly inexplicable Oakland game dragging them down, they should be above Iowa in the actual polls

It's kind of defensible because Michigan's early Big Ten schedule wasn't really very heavy. They played ranked Big Ten teams, but they were classic early high-ranked teams. But that wisconsin game kind of changes things!

Been a long way since overtime with Oakland.

Auburn G Justin Powell was reportedly cleared earlier but apparently will miss like his fourth game tonight after a head injury a while back. Powell had been nails filling as a last-resort PG while Sharife was benched but he's a natural 2. Really looking forward to seeing him shooting off what Sharife creates cause once the threats of Cooper driving, Powell outside and JT Thor in the paint are all rolling at the same time I have no idea how anyone is supposed to stop that.

Bad, very bad!
After mistakenly thinking Kansas lost to Texas last Saturday instead of the one before (give me a break, about a year has happened since January 2) I wondered when the last time KU lost two Big 12 games back to back was. They avoided it in the 18-19 year when the championship streak finally ended.

The answer if I have it right is the 2012-13 season where they lost three in a row to Oklahoma State, TCU and Oklahoma. They of course won the conference that year, but had to share the title with K State.
