Columbia

[Sbee]

Really shitty offense so far. Horrible shot selection

 

[Spartanmack]

Pretty shitty defense. Columbia getting all kinda of offensive boards. This is pathetic.

 

[Sbee]

They finish on a 26-12 run

 

[Spartanmack]

5 minutes in to 2nd half an they've done nothing to the halftime deficit. This is pathetic.

 

[Sbee]

At least were taking care of the ball but no defense at all

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

Just do a full court press and they'll get rattled. Izzo is so damn stubborn it's pissing me off right now.

 

[Spartanmack]

What is Payne doing trying to take guys off the dribble? Taking 12 footers with nobody there for the rebound. This is a nightmare

 

[Sbee]

Its not often these scrub teams have 6'11" guys w post moves. Hes abused us a few times

 

[JScottWriter]

This is not good, even if they win they shouldn't be ranked #1.

 

[Sbee]

Hopefully the writers don't know we have a game. Friday night is an odd time

 

[Sbee]

Way to flex those muscles guys, impressive way to back up Tuesdays game

 

[Sbee]

Yes, some cheap point to make the score look more respectable. Way to go

 

[JScottWriter]

Sad performance, lucky to get the win. Hope they are not ranked at the top. This gives Izzo a chance to rip into them.

Kentucky hangover

Kentucky hangover

Not that simple but that may be part of it.

How can you be so good and so bad in half court defense in a week?

 

[johnny2x2x]

It was a hangover, but there are problems we need to try to fix. We need to rebound a lot better.

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

I still don't understand why Izzo didn't elect to press, they killed us in the half court game. Our one clear advantage was running so why not increase the tempo by pressing. I'm no coach but that just seems like the most logical thing to do.

 

[Sbee]

It depends on if he worked on full court pressure in practice at all. Its not something you just start doing mid game

 

[Spartan23MSU]

Those Hangovers happen. Harris and Appling were rarely existent but Payne displayed his ability to take over a game. Dawson is a great rebounder and can dunk but hes broke besides that. 3 feet out hes one of the least proficient players ive seen, even Torbert developed a jumper. Dawson better get 12 boards a game with low to no turnovers from here on out. He did hit 2 free throws which was nice to see. Not to be a negative Nelly but i hope we get a NC ring this year because the next few are looking BLEAK. Go Green!

 

[Spartan23MSU]

I also think we need to start running a full court press at times, why am I not seeing that?
