Oh You Know - Kinda Funny Looking Game Thread…

Quad 4 win at the moment, but Minnesota only needs to improve to 240 or better in the NET to make it a Quad 3 win.

First true Road game in a tough place to play. We took care of business.

I’m trying to temper my hopes by telling myself that Minnesota sucks, but we looked good.

Minnesota does suck but they were at home.

We shot 43% from 3 and 77% free throws.

We held them to 29% shooting. That'll do

Good win on the road.

If Moore continues to shoot like he did tonight, we are going to be dangerous.

This is what good teams do to bad teams on their homecourt.

We should know, because we've been the bad team for too many years.

NOT THIS YEAR...

If Moore continues to shoot like he did tonight, we are going to be dangerous.

If he doesn't, Davis will. And then you have 3 big men that might get hot as well

MSU -7
O/U 128

MSU team total 68.5

And just like that
69-51
120 scored and MSU by 18.

So a trifecta if you took MSU - the under - and the odds MSU scores thefavorite number.

I’ll take that all day

We are eventually going to lose, but this team is exceeding my expectations and playing so well together that is easily apparent to see that we have a good coach. I hope we can hold onto him for a while.

It's been a really hard to concentrate tonight, but I really like the way this bunch of guys rely on each other and pick each other up on the court. Never see them get down on themselves or each other. Yeah it's early but it's hard not to feel woolly.

I think we need both to really keep punishing teams that double Tolu. It'll be fun to watch throughout the season.

This is the type of game we usually lost under Howland. Hell, we lost to this exact same crappy Minnesota team last year at home. We have a very good shot of being undefeated going into conference play. Only tricky game is against Drake in Lincoln, Nebraska. Never thought we’d look this good so soon under Jans.

Saw more MSU fans in game tonight than either of the Fort Myers games. Must have a few grads in the Minneapolis area.

We can thank the defense. Most of our offense spins off our defensive play. I liked Howland, but I wasn't impressed with the assistants he surrounded himself with (except Brooks). Ben's assistants never looked engaged too much. On the other hand, I notice Jans's assistants are jumping up and down and out there on the court with him a lot. They look really intense and that is a huge plus in my book. Jans has brought that intensity with him and it has flowed from his assistants and our players. Now.....if only our home fanbase can get just as intense and fill the HUMP. I think our team should be congratulated with a full house this Saturday vs McNeese. Would be a nice send off for the holidays until we start SEC play next year.

We actually start SEC play in this year. Alabama in the Hump, 12/28.

Not sure if this has been said but we have held every opponent below 55 points.

We do.

A friend & fellow alum who lives in Minnesota was happy to see the Bulldogs play in person.
