Close one so far...

12-11 MSU with 3:31 left in first

[SECbbfan24]

USF missing a lot of wide open 3's. Miss St getting to FT line

 

[Shades]

19-11 MSU end of first

Carter & Jackson 7 pts ea.

 

[garddog]

USF has girls with size but they just hang at the 3 point line.

State's defense looking pretty good, just have to clean up the sloppy offense.

 

[SECbbfan24]

USF with a mini run, MSU leads 21-18 now. Things changed after Jackson came out the game.

 

[SECbbfan24]

USF takes 25-23 lead

Fouls, fouls, fouls.

USF takes 25-23 lead

USF is +6 in rebounding.

 

[SECbbfan24]

USF leading 34-31 at half

Impressed with them. Even if they end up 1-2, they are in my top 25.

 

[garddog]

No flow at all, whistle fest. Nothing pretty so far.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Bulldogs on pace for a 40-8 FT edge and trailing.

No flow at all, whistle fest. Nothing pretty so far.

The officials have to make up for all the games they missed. Don't you know that the NCAA has quota system when it comes to the number fouls called by an official!

 

[DefenseBB]

Mununga was the inside presence in the 2nd quarter and the fact MSU is TERRIBLE at free throws.

Here I was posting about this game in the other thread on games this week and thinking where is everyone...doh, if you don't know who the dope is at the party, you know who the dope is at the party...

 

[SimpleDawg]

Can't buy a basket right now. How have we lost it mentally just like that?

 

[Centerstream]

I am guessing that not too many games have 2 unrelated technicals in a half.
USF up 36-31 at the half.

 

[DefenseBB]

A couple of observations here:
1. MSU is 12-20 at the FT line so that has to improve and only 9-26 inside so that also not good.
2. USF is only 3-15 from the 3 pt line so that should improve in the 2nd half as well.

Posters should not be mislead that MSU is not playing well and that USF is hot. Hardly either as both teams are pretty good. USF knows their limitations and is managing the game better than MSU. MSU is better athletically and needs to get the ball inside AND keep Mingo-Young OFF THE FREE THROW LINE. She's brutal at 0-4 and those aren't even close. I think she missed the rim twice...

As @Centerstream just noted, MSU was only 1-4 in those back to back FTs and turned the ball over on their outbounds from that series. so instead of 6 pts, they got 1.

 

[Shades]

Tied up at 47 nearing end of third.

 

[Shades]

Nice crossover and drive.

 

[DefenseBB]

52-47 after 3qtrs. Yup, that's USF winning over vaunted #6 MSU...

 

[triaddukefan]

Miss State aint representing for the Southern Land-Grants so far

 

[Baylor1994]

USF playing well! Nice to see Taylor and matharu rocking the Didi Richards puffs

 

[DefenseBB]

Miss State aint representing for the Southern Land-Grants so far

Would be kind enough to fill in us Northern Yankees on the definition of that term?
