That's surprising, but not surprising. MSU feasted on home games and a road game against a weak NUrds team. They finally had to play at a tougher place in the B1G. The disparity between home and road wins in the conference is crazy this year so far.

Kofi has been a big factor.
But referring to him as a “generational talent” is insane.

You aren't much of a scout.

They will probably move up one or two with a win over NW but then it's at Purdue and at Michigan. Not likely to win both those.

Still, it's been 6 years since the last ranking. This is likely going to be a 20-11ish record and a 10/11seed in the tournament.

Kofi Cockburn with 6th B1G Freshman of the Week Award. Last achieved by OSU player in 14-15 season. Still plenty of season to go for more.

Last year, Illinois would have found a waynto have lost today’s game against the NUrds. Trent was fire in the first half! Kofi wasn’t at his best, but Giorgi picked up the slack. Good to see.

5 guys in double figures. Granted its NWU but it hasn't been often that UI has had 5 players in double figures in Big 10 play

Defensive intensity was disappointing, but I really never thought they were going to lose, which is unusual in a game like that. Ayo is a closer.
If they can get one this coming week that would be great.
