More hype. We'll get to it at 3 o'clock. Michigan State basketball is the way we would begin the show.

Spartans got to win last night at Penn State. They got to win against Illinois last weekend.

Starting to trend up.

Buried too soon, you tell us David, what are the ticket textures have to say?

I'm sick of MSU excuses and IZO slaps.

Been 25 years since the title, they continuously

dropped the ball and fall short of expectations.

Costa still believes the IZO in March thing. He isn't that anymore. Go look at his record. They lose on the first weekend more often than they don't. That is from Mike.

I would agree the mystique isn't what it was. I don't think he has that same level of

success that he once was. I think we covered that to start the show. My point is this team...

I...

RICO.

Iso is polarizing, so either you praise him too much or you beat him down too much.

I'm just trying to live in the here and the now with this team.

They underachieve to start the season.

They are playing much better despite what other people tell you.

They're playing better.

Metricly, they grade out as a team that can go on a deep turny run.

They have three veteran guards.

They've got a front court score who's a veteran who's playing some of his best ball of his career.

They've got a coach who, while he hasn't done it as frequently as Peak Izzo, is

still Tom Izzo and you would think we don't even have a basketball team in the state worth talking about.
