Game day thread

You people are unhinged. A team playing it second game ever, with what are effectively 10 new players and two returning players...not starters, players, won against a veteran team that will probably go the NIT and have a shot at winning their league. They did it’s with a dumb, foul prone game from Larrier and bad outside shooting.

They will learn from this. Improve and move on. We are 2-0 vs 0-2 last year. And you guys are crying like somebody just ran over your puppy.

I went to edit that and deleted it.

You stick to crying about games being over with a lot of time on the clock and we have a deal.

Don’t Welch on me :)

I never said the game was over broham. Sorry I'm not over the top pumped about needing a frenzied comeback to beat Stony Brook on our home floor. The alternative would have been horrible though.

I just reread this thread from 6 minutes down to end. Pure pure gold.

I will be interested to see if SB keeps it within 20 of MSU on the 19th. Regardless, lets hope they at least make the NIT...

Also, how is BU this year?
 
Somehow we ended up shooting 51% from the field. Solid again from the FT line too (73%)

Baby steps!
 
This will be a work in progress until the conference season. What your looking for are improvements game to game. That said, the criticism I would have for Ollie right now is not prioritizing defense. When a guy continually loses his man, gets beat off the dribble, misplays the PnR, or sags so far off that he’s conceding open 3’s you’ve got to sit his butt down.

Some of the worst outside shooting I've ever seen. But enough bright spots and Jalen at the end to get the win. Player of the game though was Anderson. The energy and the smarts and hustle on D kept everybody in the game. They can at least say to themselves if we shoot half decent this game isn't close. On the other hand they have to prove they can. A loss would have been brutal tonight.

Who exactly on this roster was he supposed to develop? He has seven brand new players (to the team), 3 medical redshirts who hardly played last year and Adams and Vital. This was ugly basketball. Take the W and smile, we're going to need every single one.

Only this board expects an undefeated season every year. I too would have been crushed but not even saint James Calhoun had to deal with this turnover of personnel. We are going to lose games people. And badly. And against bad teams. We are not a senior laden team that can shoot out the gates. We all knew coming in this is a baptism by fire and the results and true measure of this team will be in 2018 heading into the tournament. Our best player is still a developing junior. Jalen isn’t a leader?!? Sound familiar? I bet some of you high horse riders forgot the same label attributed to the most successful husky ever. You “true fans” did hear of Shabazz Napier. Remember the guy with the crap attitude? Oh yeah he also ended up staying for that terrible coach that won a title with what people call Calhoun’s guys. Funny cause I recall bazz off the bench and a little bit of Niels and Tyler. A little boat and no Daniels kromah Samuel Phil amida. Pull it together. It’s ten toes guys not nine!!!! Fair f$&@“i:gweather fans.
 
All I know is we have to step up our complain game bigly.

For reference, head over to the Women's board and read some of those doomsday threads after their 25pt squeaker win vs Stanford the other day.

If that gets in to Jalen’s head, that everything goes through him and that it’s always on him to take over and win games, we won’t be caring about him beating Stony Brook for us later this season; will cause several mind-numbing losses with his decision-making

Right. We’re better off with Vital chucking 10 threes a game . . .
 
All this is nonsense. I am reserving judgement for post p k. I'm ascared as they say in West Virginia.

I am a one game at a time guy this year. Not looking ahead, for now only looking forward to Sunday's game. At this point in time, my hope/expectations are that we compete in every game. My expectations will develop as the season develops. We are what we are. We won the 1st 2 games which we didn't do last year. I want to get the next one & then head to the west coast

Who has Ollie developed with any significance over the past few years? Why does the team always look like they have no idea what to do on offense? Why should I be happy about needing a late run to clip a team like Stony Brook at home? Why are you so willing to accept such mediocrity and seeing the same issues year after year?


I'm not saying that Ollie is a horrible person, I'm saying he's not a good coach. You can blame the players or the circumstances all you want, I just know I've watched the same sloppy, lackadaisical, offensively stagnant type of play for the last 3+ years, and I've yet to see any sign that things are going to change. Is it alright with you if I say that I don't like what I've seen over the last few years?
