The difference in this game tonight is our inability to finish at the basket!

Difference in this game is Tyler Neal... Dude missed a middle school layup and then proceeded to inbound the ball to the wrong team... Boom 4 point swing

Or missed FTs, or Buddy' turnovers, etc...

Proud of these guys. We could have folded and gotten our doors blown off, but kept fighting and made MSU earn this one. The future of this program is very, very bright. :clap

Bull**** calls. Could've been a great finish to a good game. Proud of how the team competed.

 

[BigTime]

Cam has some nasty elbows...

Good effort tonight - we shouldn't have shot ourselves in the foot so many times tonight - cost us the game.

Yes those contributed. But they happen every game... Missed layup by a D1 player? Passing to wrong team? Gtfo

 

[ballislife12]

Agreed, this is promising for this season even! Future is bright indeed! Great fight in these guys

Bogus call, where were the refs last night on Gibbs out of control limbs?

 

[mict085]

That call on cam is total crap. Utter nonsense.

More like silly unforced turnovers, missed freethrows at crucial times and the complete lack of being able to take a charge but rather foul the opposing team instead of causing them to be guilty of the fouling. And to top it off, lacking bench play.

he's gotta watch that... leads with em way too often.

I can barely watch a game anymore... Any touch of the hand is a foul.. It's sooooo soft

 

[RyanMinorFanClub]

Great effort by our guys tonight. Showed a lot of heart. Unfortunately it looks like college basketball will be basically a free throw contest this year.

 

[MNsooner]

Imagine if we had a bench. Our bench gave us 1 point in this game. We are a little depth away from being able to play with a team like MSU.

 

[JBaker]

How is it that a guy can run his head into your elbow in your shooting motion and it's a flagrant offensive foul?

 

[Laxtothemax12]

I will say i'm like 1% disappointed because of the drought in the first half and the foul call on the steal that would've made it a 3 point game...that's a no call and that makes it a one possession game...but still a GREAT showing against a top team, the #1 team in the nation, but in all honesty we could've won that but it means we are right there as to getting blown at by Gonzaga last year

 

[brumFTW]

Man, i hope we get a rematch next year with Buford and Lattin.

 

[slappy in OP]

Good game by the guys. I think the only thing worse than our bench play was that crap band that was playing during the interviews. Horrible.

There are good things to take away from this game. If we can out it all together, we will be a very solid team.

I never realized what a pompous a** Izzo is...screw him...If he is Kelvin's mentor, what a !@#$%^ mentor to have...
