MSU vs UConn game thread

Alright 8 total fouls called that half. I'm guessing the way it's went this year in the tourney 20+ will be called in the 2nd half.

What concerns me is that when Appling is in there teams sag off him when he doesn't have the ball and get extra hands around Payne and Dawson. The lane seems to open up more when Trice is in cause teams have to respect his shooting.

True. His shooting and driving has been bad since his injury. I think he has been doing other things well. I am not against getting Trice more minutes but they still are going to need Appling.

we started 1 for 10 with 4 turnovers in the first 8 minutes.

Like I said, 2nd half is a toss up. Can't imagine both teams will play like dog shit again.

Appling has got to feed Dawson when he's single covered on the block. He just went away from him again.

Super quick hook on Keith.

Not to mention catch an uncontested inbound pass! Hes killing us so far this game

Our offense just looks so much better when Trice is in there. So much more spacing.

Trice is playing great defense today also.

I agree they will still need Appling, but we just look so much better on offense when Trice is in with the other starters.

The spacing we get when we have 4 guys that can hit the 3 vs just 3 guys is huge.

Agree

Hes really underrated. I just love that he never hurts you, he rarely turns the ball over.

 

[gotime909]

Appling comes back in and we look like shit again. UConn on a run.

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

Do we have a point in the paint?

 

[gotime909]

Man we've had a lot of travels today.

 

[Spartan23MSU]

DV= Tragic Johnson today

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

If that's flagrant I'll throw my tv out the window.

 

[gotime909]

Izzo's loyalty to Appling might cost him today. He's just not doing anything good today.

 

[LuciousGameWinner]

Two bad calls on Appling..but that may be good because trice will be in.

 

[Spartan23MSU]

GET TRICE IN THERE, Appling isnt going to suddenly snap into some offensive rage. Hes fouling, turning the ball over, where is Trice????????

 

[gotime909]

all but 1 pt have come from 3 guys(Payne, Harris and Denzel).
