[Msubulldogfan1]

We’re holding this lead and playing well, let’s keep it up

 

[BulldogBlitz]

MSU +6. Winner heads to NYC.

Wooly bully!!!!

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Wow this is the best half of basketball all season, not even close

 

[KingBarkus]

I’ve never seen us play with this much energy. We’re hopping around like we’re on speed.

It will be a sad day when we melt down about any NIT result. That being said losing to a Louisville team that obviously couldn't give less of a 17 would be disappointing.

I was talking about the hoops team meltdown. Not the boards melt down.
But I'll take an NIT final four at this point.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I’ll take an 11 pt halftime lead.

Gotcha.

We had 14 at Baylor, no?

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

We had 14 at Baylor, no?

We won that game, no?

Or you’re right, it’d be better if we were DOWN 11***

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Here's hoping they learned from that.

 

[Walter White.sixpack]

Who were the boo-birds after?

 

[Dawgcap]

Was a great half. We shot really well in the first half. Hope I’m wrong but we will have to endure a run or 2 from Louisville the 2nd half. I’m gonna try not to freak if that happens!! Haha Playing a good team on the road so I expect a few offensive and defensive lulls. Think we are seeing a team grow up before our eyes.

 

[cowbell88]

Zebras are letting em play more too and not blowing those whistles so much. Makes for a much more exciting game.

 

[KingBarkus]

Hope we don’t go stupid in the 2nd half.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

BEST half of defense we have played in quite a while. All players with minutes have scored, that's awesome.

#nozonein2ndhalfplease

 

[Dawgcap]

Hope we don’t go stupid in the 2nd half.

There will probably be a few moments.

 

[Dawgcap]

Not necessarily stupid moments but Louisville will probably make a run. If they do we will probably call it stupid moments but it’s just part of the game

 

[57stratdawg]

Oh my god, Ado

 

[vandaldawg]

We won that game, no?

Or you’re right, it’d be better if we were DOWN 11***

You'd prefer us to go down 9 again?

 

[57stratdawg]

Louisville looks really slow on the perimeter.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Gettin on the boards so far these first few mins, Q out there hustling.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

You'd prefer us to go down 9 again?

I’d prefer us win again...

 

[KingBarkus]

Holman with a high risk pass resulted in a to. Have fun, play loose, but don’t get careless. Ado got rocked.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Louisville looks really slow on the perimeter.

Which makes their first half strategy a head scratcher, our strength is guard play and weakness is size and experience downlow...so they decided to pressure and speed us up, basically let our guards loose. Bad idea.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Is there a contract stipulating no fouls can be called on UL?

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Is there a contract stipulating no fouls can be called on UL?

Guess they heard you.

They’re not calling much, and have been consistent in doing so. I prefer this style. Seems like that’s been the case in the NIT.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Everything is going our way. Unbelievable

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Peters knows when he’s better than you, then proceeds to let you know it.

I love Peters.

 

[vandaldawg]

I’d prefer us win again...

Yeah. Me too. Lots easier and less tense to do that up 10 rather than down 9 with 3 minutes left. Lets just keep rocking and keep playing d.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Yes, anytime you have the lead, it’s easier to win.

 

[vandaldawg]

Thank you for proving my point. (stupid smug emoji)

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Need to close this quarter out strong. Ado needs to be at the foul line everyday during off season.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Dudes foot was on the line.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Damn will they not review that?

 

[Dawgcap]

Such an impressive 3rd!!

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Excellent close to the quarter.

It’s gonna be hard to 17 this up.

 

[vandaldawg]

Nice run at the end of the 3rd. I swear, Q can operate in traffic at full speed and finish better than just about anybody I can remember playing at MSU.

 

[Shamoan]

Who is this team?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Grey ghosts

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Most teams that make a NIT run don't return many players. The fact that we return them all is promising, especially now that they can see what strong defense and sharing the ball on offense does for their game.

Gets me wooly.
