State-Utah State game thread

[Coach34]

State up 25-19...Ready has played a little

[msstate7]

Ware sitting most the half with 2 fouls. Really hope he stops with the early fouls

[Bully13]

U-state cuts it to 3 with 4 min to go . time out.. seems like we haven't had an off rebound.. but maybe they haven't had one either.

We have had like 5 offensive rebounds.

[msstate7]

I think ndoye is gonna be a decent player

[Bully13]

u-state 6-12 from 3 point range, we're 2-6... that's why we're down a point with 1 minute to go

[msstate7]

And Fred missing 4 free throws

[TheRef]

Perkins is absolutely on fire....

[msstate7]

Perkins is killing us. Why can't we play perimeter defense?

[Bully13]

another trey by u-state , down by 6 with .22 left in the 1st. visiting teams have seemed to like shooting 3's against us for the last few years.

[msstate7]

Ware can't start games with 2 quick fouls. His absence is killing us

[smootness]

Yep, have to stop their outside shooting in the 2nd half. Thomas needs to be draped all over Perkins.

[HailState39110]

Down 38-33 at half

Roc Johnson with 10, Ndoye and Thomas with 9 points each

[smootness]

38-34, Thomas with 10.

[msstate7]

Down 38-33 at half

Roc Johnson with 10, Ndoye and Thomas with 9 points each

38-34 if ware stays out of foul trouble we win imo

[Coach34]

Endo coming up big in the 1st half for us- we got to extend the D a little in the 2nd

[MetEdDawg]

I really like N'Doye. He's active, doesn't just stand around, has good use of both hands. He's going to be good for us. He's still a little raw but when you have that kind of touch on a baby hook with both hands you've got something special.

Inexcusable that we didn't take a warm body for last year over him since he had to sit out***

[HailState39110]

Back up 42-41 with a Thomas 3!

[klong-dog]

I tried to get this on ESPN3 but it said something like user denied. Any other way of watching this online?

[smootness]

Gavin Ware doing work.

[msstate7]

Gavin Ware doing work.

Best player on the court. He stops himself with foul trouble

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

Need to feed Ware.. Get them in foul trouble

[msstate7]

If a team can shoot from outside, we'll have trouble. We can't stop perimeter shooters

[Irondawg]

We are a step slow getting out to shooters for some reason, which is surprisinging. Got to hit several 1-1's here

[smootness]

We've done a better job in the 2nd half. Good adjustments, great win. Without our best scorer and without our PG for a lot of it. If Ready can get himself fully healthy, we'll be a pretty good team.

[Irondawg]

Very nice win - big FT shooting down the wire going 6-6 on theose 1 & 1's down the stretch.

I'd add sword to the "if" too, but yeah.

[smootness]

I'd add sword to the "if" too, but yeah.

I think we're pretty good if we just have a solid PG regardless of Sword. But obviously having Sword makes us even that much better.

[Dawg61]

Nice win. We killed Utah St. down low on offensive rebounds. 3rd team in a row that can't compete against our size and athleticism down low. Sword when healthy should have endless drive to the basket opportunities when he gets back. Nice game today for Bloodman, Thomas, Roq, Daniels and Ware. Ware is an All-SEC talent. He's a beast and has a great motor and really nice 18 foot jumper now. He's going to have opportunities to make money playing ball somewhere after MSU.
