MSU vs Virginia

[johnny2x2x]

Physical ball game.

Denzel and Tum getting those early 2 fouls really hurt. Ellis is forced to play too many minutes.

If that wasn't a foul on trice then I don't know what a foul is. ****ing bullshit

I thought the same then I went to box score to see foul differential, it 5 on us and 3 on them. I Refs just letting them play which is what we need. We need to convert one here so we keep it at 6 or more going into half time.

 

[gotime909]

We're giving up way to many offensive boards

 

[SpartyNash]

Our defense has been phenomenal

 

[gotime909]

Ellis has just been brutal

With the lineup that we've had out there for the last 5 minutes, it's criminal that Trice hasn't taken a shot.

When tum tum goes to the bench the game slows down. We need him big time. I think State has scored 6 points since he was benched

trice needed to take it to the hole

 

[gotime909]

Offense went to sleep the last 10 minutes, but I'll take a 5 pt lead at the half.

Yep, second chances and turnovers (including bad shot selection that don't show up up as TOs on the stat sheet) are the reason we don't have a double digit lead.

That's been my biggest beef with him. He settles too often on the jumper. There was no reason he need to fire that up where he did.

5 turnovers for the half isn't that bad considering we were without 2 starting guards for most of the half.

Typical 2015 MSU team.

Build a lead.

Look dominant for 10 minutes.

Miss FT's.

Stop running.

Look lost for 10 minutes

Let other team hang close.

We could have been up 7-8 and they could have got it to within 2 if they hit a 3 at the end. Still 4 seconds on the clock. Valentine and Nairn being out really did make things stodgy the last 10 minutes. Valentine is going to be no show, hes either on or not at all.

Well summarized, no reason not to be up more than 5

 

[johnny2x2x]

We need Tum Tum and DV to play to effectively run our offense against them.

 

[gotime909]

Dawson sat at the end too. Wonder why?

It's not that bad and I edited my post to include poor shot selection we've been forced into. They don't show up on the stat sheet as a turnover but have a similar effect.
