THe Official Make a Spartan Start Shartin' Game Thread

[TheChamps990411]

If anything he was getting fouled. Both guys on MSU had him wrapped up

I seen our bigs get wrapped up a couple times an dnothing called

 

[August_West]

For all our issues we are down 1 to number 4 team in country

 

[CL82]

Is it me or are our unis devoid of National Flag Blue?

Still look good though.

 

[HawkHusky]

Incredibly lucky to be down 1.

 

[BlueDogs]

Miracle we are down one. Chalk it up to a ton of effort and scrapping.

 

[Wordbomar]

Gotta cut down the turnovers and keep playing tough D!

 

[JMick]

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

 

[superjohn]

Incredibly ugly half but we are right there, missed a golden opportunity with Bridges on the bench.

 

[Javjudah]

Larrier needs to turn Pro tomorrow and give Polley a chance to grow.

 

[Matrim55]

8-for-27 shooting, 9 turnovers, and we're down only 1 point against the No. 4 team in the nation.

I guess I'll take it. Would like to see some real offense and not constant isos, tho.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Well we do have a GAME!

 

[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.

 

[8893]

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.
