Not only does Sparty need to be ranked, they need to be ranked at least top 15. Going toe to toe with 2 top 5 teams in huge games and getting a win out of it shows their worth to me. They are amazing defenders and Tom Izzy is a heck of a coach.

[@davebaq]

@Jackson the WWE's Biggest Fan! nah they easily top 15. Three games in and they have a 1 point loss to the zags and a W against UK. Most teams have played at best one decent opponent if any at all.

[@andrewrundle6896]

@david baquerizo. You are correct that they should be top 25 but I would expect the AP to rank them in the 20-17 range.

[@GavinOCo]

@@andrewrundle6896 I'd expect top 15 for sure right now, but of course it will depend on the Nova game. If they didn't play before then, I'm almost sure they'd be top 15

[@jamesh1402]

Ranked 5th

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

@@GavinOCo exactly. MSU still has to play Nova before the rankings come out. Gonzaga getting stomped by Texas doesn’t help them either...and the Zags themselves play Kentucky on Sunday. It’ll all sort itself out by Monday. Probably. But I could see MSU ranked as high as 6th or as low as 20th depending on what happens this weekend.

This game was awesome, Kentucky has some dawgs but my goodness I am excited about this spartan team and what they can do this year. Just watch Izzo at the in bounds play at the end or the first overtime, literally just chillin on the announcers table having complete faith in his guys to execute that play and push it to another OT.

Yes Oscar has a great game but he was responsible for both OTs and the loss. He was supposed to guard Hall who dunked to tie it for first OT. Then he had the poor screen which led to him fouling out.

I hate that Kentucky lost but I will say that was a great game. I honestly don't know why anyone would call that an upset because to be honest it's wrong Tom izzo and Michigan state was underrated.he should've been a top ten team he's a legendary coach because he might not get top high school players like we do at Kentucky but he sure makes good players.what about won them the game at Gonzaga and won against Kentucky was izzos play calling he made some good plays in clutch moments. But I still think Kentucky will have a good season I really like our team so far.

I am a Kentucky fan who wants to talk to some of my fellow Kentucky fans. Give some credit to your opponents! Are there things we could have done better? Of course; there always will be. I am pumped because Oscar is physically good; and this team is only going to get better. We got nothing from Livingston, and very little from Reeves and Frederick.

Didn't help that Cal had the best offensive guard on the bench for the last 15+ minutes of the game. Reeves is legit. I would actually put the ball in his hands for late game situations, wheeler can't shoot. They were sagging off him for the last 5 or so minutes of the game which killed the offense🤷🏾‍♂️
