This Stephen F Austin - N. Iowa game is exciting as shit.

Yeah it was a great game. Can't ask for a better shot at the end for SFA. It just didn't go down.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Wow another great game. An oop to tie at the end of regulation by Manhattan off an inbounds with 0.6 to play.

Great playcall.

 

[truly101]

You might be in for a surprise...

Alex is a good dude and I think he can play, but he never found his way into K's gameplan. Some people were hoping he'd be the next Singler and that wasn't happening. Donovan knows his brother and his family and probably know Alex as a player as well. I think it will work out for him. He has pretty much 2 years left.

I don't think Farnham knows what personality is. That little clip of Van Fleet was the very definition of not having a personality.

"Probably some R. Kelly."

Can't believe the U-Conn women went down. That seems to only happen once every 3 years or so

Weird sequence at the end. Uconn elected to take a layup down 3 with 2 seconds left, then didn't even get a shot off after the free throws by stanford. The girl wasn't even guarded, she just started dribbling upcourt and time ran out.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Alex Murphy is going to ball out for Florida.

As far as Duke transfers go, I expect much closer to Boateng level contribution than Taylor "Lefty Gunner" King

SDSU and Utah are in a race to the bottom right now. Who will lose harder? Do either actually deserve to be ranked? Stay tuned. First team to 30 wins.

Saw some of it here at work. Ugly, ugly game.

Getting more nervous for the UK game. Really hoping to break our Champions Classic losing streak tonight.

I expect tonight to be one of our two losses this season.

Not worried if it is, but on paper we have some tremendous physical advantages over KU.

We will have to play with effort for 40 minutes though, which we haven't done yet.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Get ya popcorn ready

 

[Mac the KNife]

Welp let's get this over with.

Go Green.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I missed Richard's half-senile ranting

 

[NaturalHigh]

Here we go boys. Get hype. I know nothing about either of your all's team this year but I am ready to see them compete.

 

[Seth C]

We are taller than Kansas. We are more talented than Kansas. But I don't think this team realizes yet that they have to play hard to win against good opponents. I think they will learn that tonight, because they won't come out ready. We needed a game against a solid top 30 team before this one.

Maybe I'm wrong and this team just has a very good understanding of exactly how hard they need to play and don't bother with lesser opponents, but I seriously doubt that.

I'm just really glad we aren't playing Duke because I don't think we would have a chance right now.

Dickie V will only make this beat down even worse.

 

[Fjordson]

Jeez. Okafor is pretty good.

K needs to yell at his guys to get out of his way though. Jokers standing next to him with their defender while he's trying to establish post position.

 

[inm8num2]

Tum Tum!

 

[iamblades]

Did MSU's bigs lube up their hands before the game or are they always this terrible catching the ball?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Jeez. Okafor is pretty good.

K isn't used to having a big man either.

He's learning how to run offense with him on the go

Dick Vitale - "I used to loved cupcakes when I coached."

I guess that was some self-love...

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Defense still ain't shit.

Norfolk State going to get that first round W

 

[inm8num2]

Only down 7 despite loads of turnovers and foul trouble. Gotta be pleased with that effort.

 

[Fjordson]

Not a bad half for MSU considering they were playing walkons with the foul trouble.

 

[NaturalHigh]

I'm gonna say it. Typical Duke ref fuckery will decide this game.

Definitely looked porous, considering MSU has shot 18% from 3, this could be a totally different game.

MSU clearly doesn't have anyone that can guard Okafor though.

Well they have 3 Dukies working the broadcast so it wouldn't surprise me if the 3 refs were also.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Nah they'll open up a more comfortable lead in the second half. It won't be close enough for fuckery

It was alright for the first 15 minutes or so. They just managed to stay in the game by making tough contested shots. The wheels fell off the bus at the end

One thing I learned about Izzo. Never count him out.

We shall see how it plays out. Good luck to both teams in the 2nd half.

 

[Mac the KNife]

One attempted free throw for MSU.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Do the Sparties have no perimeter shooters?

Edit: weak foul there.

 

[Seth C]

One attempted free throw for MSU.

All their offense is in the paint but you know Duke, they play that perfect foul-less defense.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Okafor. He's good.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Okafor: 0 points, 0 shots, 3 offensive fouls since my last post.

I'm the KOD.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Duke ref fuckery tho

 

[inm8num2]

How many Plumlees are there?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

How many Plumlees are there?

19

 

[Talon]

Oh man, I'm hyped for this game.

 

[Mac the KNife]

God I'm sick of Dick already.

 

[Seth C]

How many Plumlees are there?

zannmann, is that you?

 

[Fjordson]

Damn, Quinn Cook pairing with Tyus well.

 

[Seth C]

If ESPN has Jim Calhoun calling our game I'm going to be pissed.

 

[iamblades]

MSU has no rim protection at all, so when they get beat on the perimeter it's a guaranteed layup.

 

[inm8num2]

Good effort overall by MSU. Funnily enough the game got out of reach when Okafor went out with foul trouble.

Those Duke freshman are damn good.

 

[iamblades]

C A T S CATS CATS CATS!!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

gg Sparty

 

[iamblades]

Was that Dakari about to bang his head on that doorway? LOL

Why does a basketball arena have those tiny doors in the tunnel?

 

[NaturalHigh]

Cat nation strong in Indy as expected.

Let's come out strong and live up to that hype. Please.

 

[truly101]

gg sparty. not the blowout we expected, but i still think they controlled most of the game. defense and rebounding still need a bit oif work, but its still lightyears from last year. they look like a young team figuring it out vs a plain out bad defensive team.
