Friday lineup (11/29)

[Plebe]

Oh man, if LSU could just stop air balling its 3s, that would be progress.

We are what we are. We are bad at shooting 3's and shooting from midrange. We are a defensive minded team that is really built on our post play.

MSU could not seem to stop fouling or contain Mitchell rebounding the entire 2nd half.

 

[Plebe]

McCutcheon finally pulls the lid off the basket for MSU, hits a 3 to end a 15-minute FG drought. Huge possession coming up here for LSU. Only 37 seconds to play.

 

[Plebe]

Yikes, LSU is clueless about entry passes, commits a horrible turnover to give MSU the ball and a chance to tie with 6 seconds to play.

 

[SECbbfan24]

LOL Mitchell fouls on the 3

McCutcheon, an excellent FT shooter, misses the 2nd FT to let LSU off the hook.

Just a comedy (or tragedy?) of errors by both teams in crunch time.

Still, an amazing defensive effort by LSU to come from behind and collect a valuable win.

Unfortunately. It's a fact. It lost us tons of games and won us a lot of games too.

We seem to make all games more tense than they need to be. Thats just our game in general. Make games low scoring and ugly.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Unfortunately. It's a fact. It lost us tons of games and won us a lot of games too.

And we will continue to live and die by it. Its been kind to us so far this year.

We will see how far it takes us in SEC play.

Wait, what's the story behind this antipathy? Does it have to do with the provenance of a particular coach?

NCAA's previous method of using predetermined sites... and a certain #1 seed had to play on a certain #9's seed's home floor in 2009. Yeah.. its been 10 years you might say... time to let it go......... but Im still salty at Purdue for knocking off Duke's men's team in the NCAA's back in 1980.... when I was in second grade. So in comparison... this is still fresh.

 

[Plebe]

Missouri is struggling, and North Carolina is better than we expected. UNC leads Mizzou by 14 in 3Q.

 

[triaddukefan]

the one time I pull for Mizzou

 

[SECbbfan24]

Texas is playing hard vs NC State.

 

[SECbbfan24]

the one time I pull for Mizzou

Blackwell having a nice game with 14 points 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Haley Franks in double figures scoring again but they seem to be leaning heavily on her right now.

Missouri has issues defending the 3 this year.

 

[Plebe]

Texas is playing hard vs NC State.

NC State opening up a lead in 2Q, now up 7. State has hit 5 of 9 from the arc.

South Dakota has run away from Ohio State in the 2nd half, now up 18 with a couple minutes left.

Missouri doesn't look that bad to the eye test, but they can't seem to win or close out games. They are really missing Cunningham's offensive production and leadership.

 

[triaddukefan]

State might be a sleeper team this season. Glad they disposed of the fighting ribeyes.

Cal Baptist lost today to Houston. 96-75

Clearly Stanford softened them up.

Cal Baptist lost today to Houston. 96-75

Not quite as successful shooting 3s today, they were "only" 13-37 rather than 17-40.

 

[triaddukefan]

Clearly Stanford softened them up.

Im sure they would have done better vs Houston Baptist....... cause you know......

Ha another Baptist school that recently made the leap from D-II to D-I

 

[SECbbfan24]

Ready for the Syracuse and Stanford game. Wonder who will come out on top.
