March Madness Game 1 - MSU vs Larry Nassar U

[ckDOG]

We should be down 20. That's the only positive I can think of. Tolu might as well been Sparty's 6th player in that first half.

Time for Jans and Hubbard to turn this **** show around

 

[lazlow]

Tulu & Bell w/ 1 reb, 2 pts, and 3 TO's between them

 

[o_HuntDawg]

all the stats are basically similar.. they are just shooting the ball better than us so far. and a lot of that is because they are guards capable of getting others good looks... we dont.

 

[615dawg]

We are better than them. Izzo is a hell of a coach.

 

[57stratdawg]

Tulu & Bell w/ 1 reb, 2 pts, and 3 TO's between them

That's rough. Some of their struggles is the result of our guards not being able to get by their on-ball defender.

 

[Dawgg]

Well, Barkley just said we can win if we can get over our 'ainzyatay'. I feel better now.

 

[She Mate Me]

If we consistently underachieve maybe we're not underachievers.

Speaking of, they said Michigan State was preseason #4. Yikes...

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Sleepy Tolu needs to wake up or we need to just turn Hubbard loose.

 

[kired]

Not a big deal. Time to reset. Let's hope Cam can play like Cam now and we'll be good.

 

[She Mate Me]

Of course Michigan State hits a shot at the buzzer. But remember, we trailed LSU by seven at halftime in the SEC Tournament and blew them out in the second half. Hopefully this is a replay of that.

We're right in this game, but only because of Josh Hubbard's offense and some decent D.

Allowing 31 is acceptable, but scoring 24 with one guy getting 13 of those ain't gonna git r done in the NCAAs against a well coached team

 

[Maroon13]

We are better than them. Izzo is a hell of a coach.

Meh. They seem to be a little quicker, rebounds and loose balls. Shoot better as a team, see stats.

 

[bolddogge]

Zero free-throws in the first half? Wow... It's favoring the green team now, but if it continues to trend that way, it could get nasty in half number 2.

Speaking of, they said Michigan State was preseason #4. Yikes...

Yep, they have the talent. Thats why I didn't like this matchup. They definitely looked like a ranked team that half.

 

[Anon1669338224]

How the **** do you give up a layup playing zone. I hope they get their heads out of their ***.

 

[bolddogge]

We have to get after it in the second half. Seems like all the rebounds and loose balls are all going the other way. Need to flip that.

 

[57stratdawg]

Guys - we can't get beat back after a made basket.

 

[lazlow]

17 that ref

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

How in the HELL do they miss that call?

 

[85Bears]

OMG not only was that a goal tend, the ball was on its way down, it was an elbow strike to the skull. what the...

 

[Xenomorph]

Is it legal to bludgeon the shooter with your elbow after blocking his shot?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

We are getting tuned up for the Royal 17'n.

 

[57stratdawg]

Hubbard doesn't need to lay that ball up in front of the rim with a defender on your ***. Use the rim & your body to block the defenders path.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We put our best two players on the bench anybody else you want to get

We are turning the ball over again.

 

[vandaldawg]

How in the HELL do they miss that call?

This whole time I thought murder was a foul in basketball.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

We have been lazy going after loose balls & rebounds

 

[leeinator]

all the stats are basically similar.. they are just shooting the ball better than us so far. and a lot of that is because they are guards capable of getting others good looks... we dont.

Yeah.....all our shots are contested.....Sparty's, not so much.

 

[ToxicTimberDawg]

Refs not helping but we are just playing way too sloppy. And we aren't offensively talented enough to be sloppy and stay in it.

 

[Anon1669338224]

I'm sorry but we are not coming back. They shoot and drive drive too good and play good d.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

It's kinda rough when you can't shoot or play defense. Edited to add: one and done

 

[o_HuntDawg]

Hubbard doesn't need to lay that ball up in front of the rim with a defender on your ***. Use the rim & your body to block the defenders path.

Yep. Clean block. Gotta use the rim and your body as protection to get fouled or get the bucket

 

[leeinator]

Sparty starting to pull away.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

Refs taking over in the 2nd half.

Doesn't help that we can't rebound or defend.

 

[thatsbaseball]

I'm sorry but we are not coming back. They shoot and drive drive too good and play good d.

Yep

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

We are being outrebounded 20-10 by a team whose biggest weakness all year has been REBOUNDING. Tolu & Bell have combined for ONE rebound.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

Yep. Clean block. Gotta use the rim and your body as protection to get fouled or get the bucket

Clean block, but it was goal tending. Ball was above the cylinder.

 

[AlCoDog]

Yep. Clean block. Gotta use the rim and your body as protection to get fouled or get the bucket

Except it was goal tending

 

[Hailstate96]

Ball was on the way down when blocked.

 

[AlCoDog]

Virginia would beat the team that showed up today.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Wish I had let us know beforehand that the team was going to get a free get-out of jail free card. Hubbard is back here but boy he took took a good elbow off from the top of the turnbuckle there.

 

[85Bears]

Ball was on the way down when blocked.

Yes and that’s the definition of a goal tend, two screwings on one play
