BBD’s 3pt Shot: A Shocking Loss with a Surprise Most Important Player, Depth Impact and a Position in Flux

Michigan State Men’s Basketball dropped its home opener to James Madison University. JMU may be better than most expected but still the outcome was a shock.

Here are some key storylines to watch out of this game.

POINT 1: Tyson Walker as Game MVP Was an Easy Prediction but What About Coen Carr?

Tyson Walker kept Michigan State in this game. If you listened to Tom Izzo’s postgame presser, Walker’s free throw shooting struggles were also a major reason for the loss. Even with the struggle at the line, Walker was clearly the MVP for MSU in this game.
