    • His shot is silky. His release is so smooth and pure, really looked effortless.

    • Paging nysparty1:

      "We also saw coach Tom Izzo begin to shorten the rotation. Sophomore captain Russell Byrd entered Saturday’s game averaging 13.6 minutes per game but didn’t check in until garbage time against Loyola, missing his lone 3-point attempt. Freshman big man Matt Costello had previously split minutes with sophomore Alex Gauna, but he, too, logged just one minute Saturday."

      Based on your basketball knowledge & expertise, you said that Costello should be starting. Maybe, just maybe, King1 knows more than you do.

      I know what you're saying but as I mentioned in my other story today, I do think Costello will be a contributor on this team. Injury happened at the worst possible time as he missed the most crucial practices/games for true freshmen. I still think we see Costello log significant minutes at some point. Byrd, on the other hand, could be this year's Steve Cherry.

      RIght Dan,
      Some people look at what is today and not down the road. It would really help the team during the course of the season if Izzo got Costello involved. If not vs Loyola when?
      ALso, I am down on Nix right now, so that is a second issue, connected to the above
