Portal… if you can make open shots and/or play on ball defense

If we could just land a couple of those guys AND figure out how to prevent their shooting % from dropping by 10 points the second that they put on an MSU jersey, then we’d really be in business
Nah. We dont need anything. Remember they are a bubble team AND it was a road game. No way we could hope to win that game. Just ask the 6 pack. You dont know basketball and you are stupid if you think we should beat an unranked team on a 5 game losing streak ********
They absolutely should beat them but it’s also not a shocker to lose to a team that’s on the bubble at their place.
You look like a clown when you say a bad loss is to anyone not in the top 10. That’s just silly talk.
We need another Shane Power and 2 point guards so we will at least have one.
I hope this recruiting class has a few instead of just inflated stars. I’m not putting a lot of faith in the portal, although Melendez has been a pleasant surprise.
State scored 87 points today. The offense is not the worry. It’s inconsistent at times but the giving up three after three and all of them are wide open. They have a serious defense problem.
They don’t pay me the big bucks but if they did I might spend my time working out a strategy where we don’t give up wide open 3’s every single game.
How I wish we could land a couple of sharp shooters but it just never happens. Either Jans just doesn’t value pure shooters or they won’t come here. In the NBA there is a high value on “3 and D” guys. Players that are good defensively and can shoot over 40% from 3, even if that’s their only offensive skill. We really need a couple of those guys.
Is it a problem or is it not ? Shouldn't we just be happy and say it is what it is ? Next thing you will be saying they played lazy today. I'm sure they played just as hard as they did against A&M, a top ten team
Our offense isn’t the problem. Our missing so many wide open shots didn’t help us today and this is not the only game that happened.
Our on ball defense is the problem in that side of the court. Teams don’t even have to use a screen to get the ball handler going down hill and on the other hand, our best (Hubbard) needs a screen anytime it’s not a transition opportunity.
Therefore, we need knock down open shot shooters who can keep their man in front of them on defense. Or we need to reevaluate some things program wise.
There
That is a rare combination in the college game and there are only so many of those types of players to go around.
