MSU with good defense. Marquette without a bucket for over 5 minutes

The ghost of Bob Boyd is loving this offensive basketball travesty.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Defense is awesome and they play with great energy. But damn, the shooting is bad. We’ve got to have someone else be able to score because teams are going to double Tolu all season and force us to hit outside shots.

Both teams playing solid defense. Marquette no bucket in 7:00

Shooting is off, but at least they continue to fire shots

 

[Dogpatrol]

If the offense could just be half as good as the defense……

 

[AFDawg]

Love the aggression on the boards and defense. But we're shopping like stormtroopers.

 

[Mr. Cook]

13-8 MSU 7:46 1st

Cold from the field -- 5/18, but 13 REBs

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Welp…that’s some ugly offense by both teams. Tough to watch.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Watching the offense in this game…

 

[GloryDawg]

First time watching this season. Our guys look big.

You think it’s possible that Marquette has had anything to do with our offensive issues?

 

[Mr. Cook]

First time watching this season. Our guys look big.

Going to be tough for a smaller team to play zone against us

 

[Mr. Cook]

Nice 6-0 run to push it to 29-22 @ 15:52 mark

Interesting we are 5/11 from 3PT (45.5%) yet 10-29 overall (34.5%)

 

[Mr. Cook]

Jeffries with the THUNDERDUNK -- nice assist from Matthews

 

[1msucub]

Did this color guy graduate from Marquette? I swear he doesn’t even know that we’re on the court.

Yeah...a little too much of a Billy Packer imitation

 

[XBLDawg]

This is ugly. I’ve seen upwards teams that can attack the basket better than this team. Jans better get to crootin

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Could be a long year if we can’t find some Offense.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Give Marq a little credit....They are aggressive on defense

 

[Mr. Cook]

38-40, Marq 7:54 in the 2nd

-5 in TOs for the game now

 

[XBLDawg]

Pretty easy when we have absolutely no one that can create their own shot. This is playground ball with no ballers.

 

[60sdog]

We’re offensively challenged. No shooters to speak of. And as usual, poor FT shooting and lots of TO’s. Great defense but it can’t cover all of it up.

True. And the inability to hit at the charity stripe is rearing its ugly head

 

[preacher_dawg]

I hope Jans can recruit. I love his in game coaching though.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Tolu with 13 REBs

 

[Mr. Cook]

45-46, Marq 4:41 to go

 

[XBLDawg]

Grabbed the lead and then sagged and let white boy get off a 3.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Hoping our size will start to take effect. Have one of their bigs with 4 fouls

 

[Mr. Cook]

53-50 MSU :41.1 to go

Moore is a wild card - incredible baskets/steals and smh TOs

 

[Dawghouse]

Our only slasher can't hit a layup.

 

[FlotownDawg]

If we lose, it will be because of Shakeel Moore. What a horrible sequence for him.

 

[Mr. Cook]

7-17 FTs....sheesh

 

[WrapItDog]

Hiring Shaq as free throw coach would be an improvement

Or Tolu's misses at the FT line

We have not hit the free throws which may make a difference here at the end.

 

[FlotownDawg]

7-17 from the free throw line. Tulu 1-6. Inexcusable.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

7-17 FTs....sheesh

 

[Dawghouse]

Shaq 1-5 on layups
Tolu 1-7 on free throws
Rest of the team has been bad on FTs as well

That'll be the reason if we lose.
