THe Official Make a Spartan Start Shartin' Game Thread

[Travelman6]

To only be down 1 going into the half against a team like MSU after THAT half? That was an ugly half from Uconn. I will take the score 10 times out of 10.

In fact, amazing that that the score is 28-27.

Cut Larrier’s hands off.

Izzo should be fined for his comment

 

[RayRay34]

Lucky to be in this. Gotta stop driving into the bigs AG...

 

[Jerry1714]

One sided refs. PK80 organizers don't want UCONN to ruin another "ideal" match-up.

Ha come on, look at the team foul count

 

[TheChamps990411]

We've acquitted ourselves very well, but the offense continues to be a problem, Larrier especially.

To be expected. We need a scoring threat in the post to open things up a bit for our shooters. They also just need to start taking better shots.

 

[UConnDan97]

This is our game. The defense is there. The guards won't be so careless with the ball in the second half, and guard play will win the night. Just keep going to the tin, young fellas...

 

[Towney007]

Honestly to me this game is house money. We lack a shooter. We’re a little overmatched down low. Impossible for me to not be over the moon pleased. We’re right there with a top 5 team.

We are LEGIT defensively. Really, really legit defensively. I’m buying all the stock on this team the rest of the way.

 

[Marat]

Too many dumb turnovers and no shots.... could be up now,

 

[CL82]

Fortunately we know Kevin Ollie is the master of adjustments and will have the guys ready after halftime.

 

[Purple Stein]

Alfa-Romeo halftime report? Whatever happened to Delta Faucet!

 

[August_West]

You ever notice how every coach against us says “ well we didn’t play well”

Scrappy tough UConn teams have a way of doing that to you

 

[6xChamps]

I’ll take it

 

[spudzj6]

Pick and roll not working against MSU. Gotta spread the floor, give our guards room to get to the bucket. If defense collapse, kick for an open look.

 

[Allbite]

TL, at least right now, doesn't look like he's ready for the big time. Reality is he's a SO. though.

 

[upstater]

2 fouls?

I was really referring to his lethargic play. You could see Ollie had some concern there.

 

[Mano]

Alright, somebody wake me in 12 minutes.

 

[The Viking]

What a horrible first half offensively. Only down one because of their foul trouble
If we don’t clean up our possessions in the second half we are going to lose by 15-20

 

[TheChamps990411]

I like our defense. I expect it to get better and better as the season goes along. This game is great experience for them. i havent enjoyed a regular season game in quite a while but im having fun tonight.

 

[SwingDog]

Huskies need to have some sort of post presence and be able to get the ball to the rim to open things up on offense. Don't like this settling for lousy jump shots which nearly always result in rebounds for MSU.

 

[TRest]

Izzo is pissed he isn't up by 20. Rightfully so.

 

[Javjudah]

Cobb could have helped if he was available.

 

[spudzj6]

Plus, Big Dave is getting held by the defense every time he sets a pick.

 

[4in16]

All I want is some damn consistency from the foot locker part timers. That is all. Defense looks great though.

 

[upstater]

Larrier is a good shooter.
When he sets his feet.
He is all over the place right now on his form.
I think he's playing timid right now.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

We need to get Larrier the ball on the block or catch and shoot. He’s straight bad trying to get his own shot

 

[Kemba429]

Take away that one basket they got off of offensive goaltending and were winning this game! Lets go out and win this thing!!!

 

[Dove]

Gray and black

Did somebody write 'gray'?



Halftime musical interlude

 

[Allbite]

Tell you right now.
Uconn wants to win, like a heavyweight fight, will have to score a knockout. Refs won't let them win on pts.

The defense has kept us in it.

 

[KingAG]

meh ugly but if you told me we'd be down by 1 at half i'd be happy

Maybe that’s our recipe for success this year. Make it ugly and rough, stay close and let our guards take over in the end. Let’s see if it works tonight
