News On The Horizon 10/6/2018

Michigan State Non-Conference Cheat Sheet: The end isn’t just on the horizon, it IS the Horizon--BT Powerhouse
Green Bay Phoenix (Home)

When: Dec. 16, 5:00pm CT

Last Year: 13-20, 7th in Horizon, No postseason

2018-’19 Outlook: Full disclosure, I know very little about the Horizon league. That said, on its face, I don’t think this Green Bay team will be half bad! The Phoenix return its second leading scorer Sandy Cohen (more on him in a second) and third leading point producer Kameron Hankerson, so the cupboard is far from dry up in Packer-land. That said, do I expect Green Bay to give Michigan State a game when they come to East Lansing? Absolutely not.

Key Player: Sandy Cohen — I can’t fully explain my level of disappointment on this not being the dad from The O.C. That said, the former Marquette Golden Eagle is finally living up to his former four-star top 75 recruiting ranking from 2014, and thus, improving his Google search results. In his first season as a Phoenix, Cohen averaged 16.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. He should find himself on a short list for Horizon Player of the Year. Welcome to Green Bay, bitch.

Oakland Golden Grizzlies (Home)

When: Dec. 21, 7:00pm CT

Last Year: 19-14, 4th in Horizon, No postseason

2018-’19 Outlook: Remember just a paragraph or two ago when I said I knew very little about the Horizon league? That still applies. That said, me thinks it’s going to be a rough year at Oakland. The Grizzlies lost its five best players who, combined, started 125 games and accounted for 2,223 of the 2,580 points scored by the entire team. That’s over 86 percent of the Grizzlies offense! Best of luck and my sincerest of condolences to head coach Greg Kampe.

Key Player: Did I mention that Oakland lost literally every productive player from last year? Pass.
