NCAA Tournament Game Thread - MSU vs Pitt

[8dog]

I know it’s what we do but Capel is going to send Mcnairs man to ball screen every time bc we switch every time. Well done to get a ton of mismatches that half.

 

[L4Dawg]

We are 1-9 when down at the half.

 

[onewoof]

If they shoot 60% again from 3 in the second half there's no way

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Fools gold

Work the ball down low and attack the rim!

But, they have HAD to do that to be in the lead.

 

[onewoof]

Refs definitely sided with the little fellas in the first half.

 

[Drebin]

Too many points at the half. Really scared the law of averages is going to catch up with them.

The peripherals favor us. We are dominant on the boards. We are bigger and more athletic. To have a shot, they have to hit a lot of threes. They are defending in such a way that will really allow our guards to drive the ball. A couple of small adjustments and we are in good shape. We haven't even really turned up on defense yet. I think we are in good shape but we've got to stop fouling and start taking better care of the ball. In Jans I trust.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

At least we won the baseball game…

 

[onewoof]

Work the ball down low and attack the rim!

They don't even guard on drives to the rim it's crazy

I look for Davis to have a good second half with his midrange game. It's there for the taking and it will force them to defend differently and open things up for tolu.

Can one of our stellar assistant coaches tell the refs that kicking your legs out is a foul and possibly a tech? What are they doing if they don't complain about that at half

 

[Drebin]

We are 1-9 when down at the half.

Which means nothing in a one point game.

 

[curseddawgs]

Let’s go guys. Survive and advance

 

[L4Dawg]

They are not going to call a foul on the white guy.

 

[mstateglfr]

Matthew's getting stuck in the paint once again and another turnover.



Just run allyoops for him!

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Davis came to play

 

[Drebin]

Davis came to play

He and Shak both have that shot every possession if they're patient.

 

[onewoof]

They are not going to call a foul on the white guy.

Drapes his arms over Tolu. Refs: I see nothing

 

[preacher_dawg]

I think Avery Johnson holds a little grudge against State.

 

[Podgy]

A ver ee Johnson

 

[57stratdawg]

Terrible call against Davis. Total bailout.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Oh man that’s so bad.

 

[L4Dawg]

We aren't going to be allowed to win this. How was that a call on Davis?

 

[57stratdawg]

another terrible call against Davis!

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Wtf

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Screw job

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

If I knew they were called the game like this I will tell Jan stay Mississippi. This is a 17ing joke.

Get ready to start counting how many free throws they get the second half

 

[L4Dawg]

Drapes his arms over Tolu. Refs: I see nothing

He has been doing that the entire game.

 

[ckDOG]

This is just stupid.

 

[mstateglfr]

First Davis foul,sure call it.
Second?...that's rough to call.

 

[curseddawgs]

This is horrendous

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

First Davis foul,sure call it.
Second?...that's rough to call.

Yeah the first was a foul. He grabbed the arm and jersey the second was atrocious.

 

[RockyDog]

17 these refs. They are making the game all about them!!

 

[onewoof]

Pitt will get every foul call they try to get all game

 

[SyonaraStanz]

I’m done. I can’t watch a game where the refs feel like they’re the main attraction.

 

[SouthFarmchicken]

Jesus Christ. Out of control drive to the basket and we swat it away cleanly is a foul? Holy fuckme

 

[L4Dawg]

As bad as some of the calls have been, it's the no calls on them defending Tolu that killing is. There is a reason we can't get the ball to him.

THIS. It’s BAD.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I've been dealing with a physical crap today and just turned on the game in time to watch them start bailing them out with BS calls starting with that clean block by Matthews when the clock ran out.

I have seen your story before. They're gonna end up getting 15 to 20 more trips to the free-throw line here in the second half to win the game, and we're going to get a handshake and glad you made the 17ing trip. WTF is going on?

 

[mstateglfr]

I’m done. I can’t watch a game where the refs feel like they’re the main attraction.

You turned off the game? We have made it 1 other time in like the last 14 seasons. Can't imagine turning it off because refs frustrate me.
