Neighbors with an unexplainable loss to 11-14 Vandy. Fire this motherfricker already. And I usually don't give a shite about women's hoops, but that is Bert level shite.

It doesnt show up in the stat sheet but his defense is top notch and is always on the opponents best player.


Devo is a clone of Tony Allen. Their game is identical. Don’t know if that translates into todays NBA but the kid is a nasty defender.

You have to think that nasty defense has a place, even if it's at the end of the bench. I think a team will pick him up. His offensive game has improved a little bit each year so there is no reason to believe that he can't keep getting better. Hope he waits one more year before he goes.

What games are you people watching? Black is best passer in college basketball and probably the best passer to ever wear a hog jersey. AB is literally punking grown arse men. He’s going average double digit assists in the NBA.


I have no problem with AB, only thing I thought was he would be a better shooter, but can’t win them all I guess. This is just my view without looking up stats, I don’t think I’ve ever been locked in and watched him make a 3. Even Devo who I dread when he shoots the 3 makes them, usually after I curse him for taking the shot.

Man this team with a shooter like Joe would be unstoppable. That’s really all we’re missing.

Been missing it for 2 years it seems.

Same here. His HS highlights didn't show just how jacked up his shooting mechanics are. I'm surprised the staff hasn't tried to change it. I'm sure the NBA team that drafts will try to fix it.

That move is a microcosm of how he's improved his game throughout this year. Early on, he's taking that right into the defender at full speed, getting a charge call, and killing momentum. Now he's slowing down, taking what the defense gives him, and getting the easy layup to open up a bigger lead.

If Devo catches with his feet set, I'm just assuming the shot is going down at this point. If my math is right, he's shooting 46% from three over the last 7 games while also shooting a pretty high number of them.

Stanley was pretty good.

He also just got called up by the Pistons.

Got to feel he’s gonna be limited a ton until his conditioning returns. That being said, this State game should be a brawl. They want to slow it down and play junk ball, a very interesting matchup Saturday

I think MSU is about to run into a buzzsaw with it being a Saturday home game, the Kentucky win and NSJ coming back.

They don’t score much and like to keep games in the 60s. I took a cursory glance at their schedule and they’ve lost every game in which their opponent scored more than 68 points. They’ve lost several games where they scored in the 50s. I just don’t see us shooting so poorly that they make it a game.
