Michigan State will get plenty of opportunities for wins against top teams, and the win over Iowa last night was a solid one.

ugh, that was an ugly win. don’t let them fool you, MSU is not a very good team. i will not be shocked to see them finish outside the top 25.

Searches through “Athletic 7ft white guy” file for obligatory NBA racial comp

LSU’s got a 7-foot white guy, but he’s not athletic and is best known for playing tuba in the marching band.

Yea Calhoun knew he wasn’t a big part of the team. Same thing with Combs-McDaniel who managed to get caught stealing as soon as he stepped on campus at Hofstra. Shows how Kemba was basically a one man team. Lamb was there to help, but he showed last year he’s best in a supporting role.

Gomes-Victorino-Kalish + Nava OF is not going to get it done.

Gomes should not be starting whatsoever unless it’s a regular day off for someone in left field. He’s only effective against lefties anyways

I am surprised they haven’t traded Ellsbury yet.

He has little value now. They’ll take the picks they can’t work out a deal. The whole point of getting Victorino was to give them flexibility to trade Ellsbury, but also to give JBJ some time. Can’t wait to see him in that tricky CF. Also, they don’t really have enough starting OF if they trade Ells right now. Gotta see how Kalish (who hasn’t really played in three years) does. Gomes-Victorino-Kalish + Nava OF is not going to get it done.

Come on Cherington, bring us Michael Morse!

AP – this Spring will be filled with prospect puff pieces. Given how the Boston team is, and how many really ‘good character/work ethic’ prospects the Sox have, it’s much more palatable to read about Xander and JBJ than Shane Victorino hitting .260

Sounds about right. Good for my attendance purposes however. Went to more games this year than I have in a long time. Probably seven

I am surprised they haven’t traded Ellsbury yet. Maybe teams are waiting to see him not get injured in April before calling Ben about a trade

Oriakhi was just bad anyways last year. Not sure why he would think Calhoun was sabotaging him. Syracuse made him look like a freshman.

The sabotaging was his father’s asinine claim. AO got less playing time because he was sucking, that’s where the father came up with the idea.

Roscoe Smith story: goes into Calhoun to say he’s considering transfer. Asks Calhoun why he doesn’t get to play the three. Calhoun informs him because he can’t dribble or shoot, then tells him to get out without any effort to convince him to stay

Carter-Williams has such great court vision and isn’t shoot first which was the case of Dion and Scoop.

Fills up the stat sheet. The other night he had like 14-6-6 with 5 steals. 6 if you count Lord and Taylor.

and Mole, that OSU game still pisses me off. Oh well. Syracuse may be a bit better this year because the Triche-MCW backcourt is better than the Jardine-Waiters-triche backcourt. Carter-Williams has such great court vision and isn’t shoot first which was the case of Dion and Scoop.
