March Madness Game 1 - MSU vs Larry Nassar U

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Imagine if Tolu could learn how to finish from Cam. On cue my man throws it away.

 

[Mr. Cook]

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

We aren't tackling well today and we are making up for it by not blocking.***************

 

[DoomSlayer]

2nd year in a row we lose so early it’s going to ruin the opening of the tourney. Please start scheduling us for late Friday whenever we make it again.

 

[Podgy]

We're losing to a better team.

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

You can wrap this one in green and white.

 

[Anon1669338224]

They are killing Hubbard with that screen and getting penetration every time.

 

[Hailstate96]

Where is DJ?

 

[HuntDawg]

thats how you finish a breakaway...

 

[HuntDawg]

hubbard is such a liability on the defensive end

 

[RockyDog]

Did Jansbury even prepare for this game? His playbook is smaller than Leach and Crooms

 

[HuntDawg]

He gets exposed defensively.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We try to get the game back closer, but we turn around and give up the points.

God, we're playing terrible defense

 

[ckDOG]

Other MSU showing up for the moment and creating and making open looks. Its almost like Izzo knows what he's doing, eh?

 

[Maroon13]

We're losing to a better team.

Yeah. They are just flat out a better team, execution and athleticism. They will give UNC a game and maybe win that game.

 

[57stratdawg]

Not Shaun Jones’ best game

 

[thekimmer]

Sigh.....

 

[HuntDawg]

Better than us in every facet. Their bigs are better, their guards are better. Honestly not sure we have anyone that would play more than 15 mins a game for them. They are simply better.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

8 out of their nine last trips...

 

[Anon1669338224]

This is so disappointing.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Unbelievable how soft Tolu is

 

[msugolf]

Not Shaun Jones’ best game

That’s because he’s not a D1 player. There’s a reason he had no offers

 

[ckDOG]

I feel dumb having picked us. I like Jans but Izzo was returning 655 tournament minutes coming into this. We had 11. Their guys are creating a win. We are just trying to hang around and not look completely stupid.

 

[HuntDawg]

Take that back... matthews and jefferies would fit right in.. no one else would.

 

[L4Dawg]

We're losing to a better team.

Yep.

 

[HuntDawg]

Must be nice to have a guard that can actually create off the dribble and bigs able to block shots at the rim

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

I feel dumb having picked us.

Same

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Getting abused by a more physical better shooting team.
I saw some talking about Michigan state being over rated and izzo being overrated. He had his guys ready

 

[lazlow]

Our guards were on the other end of the floor when that last shot came off....wtf?

 

[Seinfeld]

This is a team that can be coached to play well, but I said it before the season started and I'll say it again now. It's somewhere between the 10th-12th best roster in the SEC, and at some point(apparently today), talent is going to win out. Jans really needs to hit the recruiting trail this offseason

 

[Podgy]

Need some shooters. We don't have good shooters and we've known that all year.

 

[Maroon13]

I was wondering who the high seed would be to make a run. It could very well by MichSt. They can run with UNC. It will be a helluva game Saturday

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Down 15 and still trying to run offense thru Tolu

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Hubbard was the only player that came to play ball today. Matthews tried but he was out of control for most of the day.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Down 15 and still trying to run offense thru Tolu

That's the problem

The bottom half of the SEC is bad. I'd say the roster is about 8th or 9th. Its the style that has to change. And maybe it will.

The throw it to a 6-11 post player doesnt work... nor does let a 5-10 guard heave up a bunch of questionable 3s.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

MSU sports in a nutshell outside of 21 baseball

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

How many 2nd chance points do they have‽?

we’re getting KILLED on the glass….

 

[HuntDawg]

Hubbard was the only player that came to play ball today. Matthews tried but he was out of control for most of the day.

on offense maybe. He's been blown by about a dozen times defensively

 

[msugolf]

Need some shooters. We don't have good shooters and we've known that all year.

Need more than just shooters. Need an offensive system that can design plays to get good looks

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

on offense maybe. He's been blown by about a dozen times defensively

He is still the only player not actively throwing the ball away.
