5 vs 8 Game Thread

[57stratdawg]

Let’s do this! This has to be one of the two or three biggest games in MSU basketball’s last decade.

MSU -3
O/U 128.5

 

[57stratdawg]

Crowd looks solid.

We’ve gotta keep Tshiebwe off the offensive glass.

 

[57stratdawg]

UK’s length giving us problems. We’ve got 3 early turnovers with them getting hands into passing lanes.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

4 turnovers

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Jans should be fired in this timeout.

We do NOT lose the opening tip. He has to go!!!!!

 

[RockyDog]

Dude drags his foot 6 inches before barreling into Shak and it’s a defensive foul.

Davis is playing very sloppy

 

[jdbulldog]

Unforced turnovers….got to stop that stuff

 

[RockyDog]

We can’t even get a touch in the paint. Not sure we can shoot our way for a win

 

[57stratdawg]

7 of our 9 FGs from 3. Not sure that’s our game.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Right now we're not matching well with them. Having a difficult time on the offer to finish getting a shot away and giving up too many wide-open jumpers.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

Jans just lit someones *** up on our bench

 

[57stratdawg]

How did we get called for a foul on that rebound?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

If they keep shooting like this, it's gonna be impossible to beat them right now they're 7 of 9

 

[CoastRat.sixpack]

The seating isn’t just bad, it’s embarrassing. Our students sound like they are in another building while these deadbeats are courtside. Other schools must look at us and just think, “that’s Mississippi for you - they aren’t real smart.”

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Leaving Reeves unguarded is not a good strategy

 

[57stratdawg]

Give Kentucky some credit - they’re hitting shots at the end of the clock.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Make shots. we will win.
Avoid the fumble turnovers.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Make shots. we will win.
Avoid the fumble turnovers.

Need a few "scoop and scores"********

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We are playing OK it's just they're getting every break right now maybe in the second half those breaks will fall for us.

 

[57stratdawg]

Offensive rebounds 8-2 UK.

Difference in the game so far.

 

[57stratdawg]

Tolu! Big put back. Cuts the UK lead to 1 and picks up Tshiebwe’s 2nd

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

If they keep shooting like this, there's no way we can beat them even as good as we're playing.

They are over 50% for the first half

What a great shot by Matthews!!!!

 

[Klovis]

Hate im not getting to watch

 

[RockyDog]

Good effort but they are too talented to beat them with all these mistakes. Tolu needs help on the boards

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Bank e'm Baby!

 

[L4Dawg]

We are letting them get way too many uncontested shots. We aren't playing bad at all but we have to tighten up on defenses.

 

[anon1758050382]

Most significant 1st half stat is UK 8 to 3 offensive rebounds imo.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

KY took our best shot and they're still leading. Need for Oscar to get a quick third foul in the second half!

 

[The Fatboy]

Yall think Cam called bank on that last 3?
If we tighten up on D in this second half we can win this thing.

 

[PapaDawg]

Good half- we got to clean up the mistakes and stay on top of ‘em

 

[57stratdawg]

This game is higher scoring than we would like it. Let’s get inside to Tolu the first couple possessions and see if we can pick up a 3rd on Tshiebwe

 

[onewoof]

Most significant 1st half stat is UK 8 to 3 offensive rebounds imo.

Refs letting Oscar push and go over the back in the first half with reckless abandon

 

[Cantdoitsal]

First time this year I've seen us get whipped this bad on the boards.

 

[57stratdawg]

Moore! Let’s get it rolling

 

[57stratdawg]

And Davis! Huge possessions early in the 2H.

 

[Cantdoitsal]

Can't believe how the shooting has improved since the Bamer loss.

 

[L4Dawg]

First time this year I've seen us get whipped this bad on the boards.

That happens when to opposing team is allowed to go over the back and push at will on the boards.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

Got to score

 

[FlotownDawg]

We keep leaving Reaves wide open for some reason. He’s hit four 3-pointers

 

[57stratdawg]

Mathews & Moore missed open looks. Legs looking tired.
