One thing that drives me nuts with this team.
- Thread starter klong-dog
- Start date
First time I've gotten to see us play this year. I've never seen anything like it. I'll just leave it at that.
Offense is definitely a problem. They looked clueless in the second half against the zone. I don't think they really understand the concept of quick ball-reversal and penetration.
That 20-2 run or whatever it was was pathetic. 10 mins.+ with one FG is not going to win many games.

Until something better comes along. Rick Ray ain't it. Sidney would walk up the court and put twenty on this team. That Cancer Dee Bost would embarrass the point guards Ray has dug up. I am sick to see MSU basketball look like **** warmed over.
Yeah, I miss the good old days too. You know, losing the season opener to Rider by 10. Or losing 5 out of 6 to the easiest part of his conference schedule to miss the NCAA tournament with the most talented team of his head coaching career, capping the season a first round NIT exit. Man, those were the days.**
Pretty wide gap in RPI if memory serves correctly. Think the 99-00 team was in the closer to 150, while the 05-06 team hovered around 100 I believe. Been awhile since I looked at it though...
Not really sure where I see this team ending up at this point -- and hate to try to prognosticate anything off these 2 shitburgers that are fresh on my mind...
It's obvious we don't have the pieces we'd like to have yet. Not an excuse, just a fact.
My problem is how we play defensively. I don't care how undermanned we are, 80% of A&M's shots were uncontested. If you're going to get whipped, at least make them work for it. I saw very little energy from our team, and there's absolutely no reason for that in a must-win game like that.

Think they call that offense the Stanbury Stall **
Thought that Ray was the X & Os coach that was gonna fix our offense

I thought that once we had more bodies that we would be a trapping, disruptive defensive team that would force turnovers and get easy transition baskets to compensate for our poor outside shooting. Instead, what I have seen these last 3-4 games is the same ole Stansbury **** with worse players.
