THe Official Make a Spartan Start Shartin' Game Thread

[superjohn]

MSU clearly the better (coached) team, right now. Doing whatever they want, whenever they want.

We are automatic one and out, not even a threat of getting a rebound. Going one on one every single possession with no threat of offensive rebounding is not a good formula for winning games.

 

[UConnDan97]

It ain't over yet. Gotta keep playing hard over this next 4 minutes, and gotta find a way to string together a couple of stops...

 

[8893]

Now I’m pissed I stayed up for this.

 

[Bomber36]

MSU is just better then us and better coached this team needs this, I hope this team is watching film on this a lot especially you Ollie.

You can’t teach height and speed.

 

[3rdbass]

I don't see what Onuorah provides at all.

He's supposedly a big body, but guys score over him with no problem.

Yeah, he only set picks up high. Brings actually nothing else to the team. We really missed Cobb in this game even though the way we play so much one on one it probably wouldn't matter.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Just playing a damn good team.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Out of hand

Yep, that was the run that sealed it. Couldn't afford to get this far back at this point. Against somebody else we could come back but not a team like this.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Don’t worry we’ll cut it to 5 have the ball with a minute left and have a catastrophic turnover

 

[AdamaNation]

Waiting for the fire Ollie posts to start. I actually think we did well for what we had tonight. Especially at this point of the season. One or two offensive sets and or scoring will be dynamic with avg 3 pt shooting. Izzo didn’t do anything but keep bridges and recruit Jackson for this game.

 

[superjohn]

I don't see what Onuorah provides at all.

He's supposedly a big body, but guys score over him with no problem.

But what do we do, just play 4 guards and Larrier the whole game?

 

[joober jones]

He's useful against tiny teams. This is not one of them.

 

[Horatio]

I don't see what Onuorah provides at all.

He's supposedly a big body, but guys score over him with no problem.

His purpose is to play minutes in between Cobb and Carlton. That's it. A few minutes in between those guys

 

[jdb50]

DO is not used to this level of opponent, has to learn and raise his game. What is Ollie saving his timeouts for? He might as well watch the game from the stands.

 

[BlueDogs]

Out classed. Out coached. Not out played. They gave some serious effort. Just don't have the horses.

 

[CTBballfan243]

MSU clearly the better (coached) team, right now. Doing whatever they want, whenever they want.

MSU clearly has the better players, coaching has very little to do with it.

 

[Deleted at users request]

We aren't winning playing hero basketball all game. This team has to learn to trust one another and play hard for each other. That's not happening right now.

 

[Scoe]

You can’t teach height and speed.

Gotta work with what we have can't be making excuses, go get height and speed then.

 

[mauconnfan]

13 is in to hold and mug Larrier and no calls?

KO how about a zone?

KO please don’t give up on Polley like this not good

 

[superjohn]

Don’t worry we’ll cut it to 5 have the ball with a minute left and have a catastrophic turnover

Cut it to 5? Yeah right.

 

[Balker]

What happened to the scrappy team pressing MSU in the first half? Does MSU have a single TO in second half? Offensive foul maybe...

 

[Bomber36]

Nothing from Vital tonight.

 

[Javjudah]

Coach Ollie doesn't have the same quantity of quality of tools in his tool box.

 

[Bryan Lord]

NEXT

 

[SwingDog]

95% of the time we miss a shot and MSU gets the rebound. Not good.

 

[superjohn]

Everyone not named Jalen, Gilbert, and Larrier exposed tonight.

 

[NielsisGood]

It ain't over yet. Gotta keep playing hard over this next 4 minutes, and gotta find a way to string together a couple of stops...

We're worn out. MSU just has too much size and speed and this Winston kid turned into Steph Curry.

 

[Tenspro2002]

My goodness Vital has been absolutely awful this year with the exception of one game.

No idea what happened to the guy who was looking like a 3-year cornerstone for the second half of last year.

 

[Woodson]

Disappointing to see no one on our team has the balls to play some defense. Soft

 

[ZenConn]

Larrier and Adams both wanting the ball. This is what happens when you play one on one basketball.

 

[Horatio]

Out muscled
