Ms St vs DePaul thread

[Coach007]

Didnt see one... so here it is


MSST changing starters again

[starkvegasdawg]

Refs screwing us already.

[RocketDawg]

Refs screwing us already.

DePaul's shooting accuracy isn't helping our case either. But Shaefer just made a 3 for us. 5-3.

[Coach007]

7-0 run Ms St up by 2.

[Coach007]

Depauls big in foul trouble already. 2 fouls

[Coach007]

Btw... 4 starters on the bench

[Coach007]

Evidently off court issues

[starkvegasdawg]

Props to Vic for addressing it regardless of situation.

[Coach007]

Regardless.... legs are being rested

[RocketDawg]

Evidently off court issues

Wonder if we'll ever know?

BTW ... the female announcer is irritating.

[Coach007]

Coach's daughter is just earning it

[Coach007]

Victoria about to check in

[starkvegasdawg]

Wonder if we'll ever know?

BTW ... the female announcer is irritating.

Probably told her to quit shooting 2-15 every game.

[Coach007]

17-17 end of 1st

[Coach007]

Depaul coach drops the f nomb on tv

[ScoobaDawg]

Did the Depaul coach just drop a f bomb on tv on the mic???

[ScoobaDawg]

Why the hell would you ever do a live interview during a basketball game. that was entertaining but dumb.

[CadaverDawg]

McCowan and Okorie are painfully slow

[starkvegasdawg]

If DePaul can't hit a three or fast break they can't score.

[starkvegasdawg]

And they can't stop us low.

[CadaverDawg]

Get back in transition and slow this game down and we'll win by 20. Keep this frantic out of control stuff up and we may lose

[ScoobaDawg]

Nice job... keep feeding Okorie. Shes making the layups and now got fouled. either points or fouls on the low. keep it going

[LC Dawg]

We've gotten lucky a few times when DePaul got behind us in transition and they blew it. I look for Schaefer to get that cleaned up in the 2nd half. On offense we just need to keep pounding inside.

[Liverpooldawg]

Get back in transition and slow this game down and we'll win by 20. Keep this frantic out of control stuff up and we may lose

We won't beat them by 20 no matter what we do. They are too good for that. I saw that Friday.

[Coach007]

Bottom line, our bench starers looking better than our normal starters

[CadaverDawg]

We just seem to have peaked early. We're lacking much of an offensive game plan and Vivians has become average at best. Sad to say, but we aren't an Elite 8 team. May not make the sweet 16. It's disappointing to see us playing this way after we've all seen just how good we are capable of playing earlier in the year

[LC Dawg]

Good defense on that last possession but overall our defense wasn't that good. I'm sure Vic will address that at the half.
Vivians didn't just miss shots she missed them badly. She doesn't look comfortable at all.

[CadaverDawg]

Don't take everything so literal. I meant we could win comfortably if we stop transition and guard the 3. Make them play half court game

[CadaverDawg]

Good defense on that last possession but overall our defense wasn't that good. I'm sure Vic will address that at the half.
Vivians didn't just miss shots she missed them badly. She doesn't look comfortable at all.

Yep

[MarketingBully]

What's the score guys?

[Coach007]

38-37 ms st up

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

We've gotten lucky a few times when DePaul got behind us in transition and they blew it. I look for Schaefer to get that cleaned up in the 2nd half. On offense we just need to keep pounding inside.

I'm just now watching, but this was a problem early and often against Troy in the first half too. Not a good trend.

[Coach007]

Looks like starters are all in

[Coach007]

Richardson is the key. Match up nightmare for depaul

[Coach007]

45-41

[Irondawg]

Hid yank Vivians out. That's two terrible shots by her already

[starkvegasdawg]

VV has become a liability on both ends of the court today.

[Coach007]

4 on their big

[Coach007]

Richardson again

[starkvegasdawg]

We shouldn't take another shot outside five feet. They can't handle our size.

[LC Dawg]

Vivians 1-9. Right now we are a better team with her on the bench. If we get through this game she's not giving coach Schaefer any option but to keep her on the bench. I hate it for her but it's the reality of the situation.

[CadaverDawg]

We shouldn't take another shot outside five feet. They can't handle our size.

I agree. And Vivians should be forced to drive only...no more jumpers unless wide open.

[hailstate17]

VV has become a liability on both ends of the court today.

Try the last month

[Coach007]

4 pn richardson. That was all ball

[BrunswickDawg]

Tide has turned in the 3rd - up by 11.

[Coach007]

I disagree. Tori is in a slump. Thats all. Only wau to get out of that is for her ro play

[ScoobaDawg]

Dangit. 2 quick fouls on richardson.

MSU up 54-43 4:05 in 3rd left

[ScoobaDawg]

Blair on fire. 3rd 3 of the day 14 pt lead

[CadaverDawg]

Ladies looking good without Vivians AND William. Shows our depth

[Coach007]

St up by 16

[CadaverDawg]

We won't beat them by 20 no matter what we do. They are too good for that. I saw that Friday.

You were saying?

Dawgs up 18

Ha, what a half!

[Coach007]

Yeah babt!!!

[Coach007]

I rhink we have 2 teams!... l

[CadaverDawg]

Refs suck. That was a flop all day

[ScoobaDawg]

and another turnover. Depaul falling apart

[ScoobaDawg]

Refs suck. That was a flop all day

I'll take these refs any day over what we have gotten most of the year

[LC Dawg]

We always seem to come out in the 3rd playing better than we did in the 1st half. I like that about coach Schaefer.

[starkvegasdawg]

How's that on Okori?

[Coach007]

Call a time out!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Just like that a few bad calls and our lead down to 11 after 3. Pitiful refs. Okorie got fouled, and those flop fouls on McCowan hurt

[Mjoelner34]

Better get McCowan back in foul trouble or not. Having Okorie out there is like playing with 4 players.

[Coach007]

How is that???.. lol. Its called covering the spread

[Irondawg]

We have to go back to what we were mid 3rd. Take 20 seconds off and get a good shot. Let's be patient and we will be fine

[LC Dawg]

I disagree. Tori is in a slump. Thats all. Only wau to get out of that is for her ro play

The Sweet 16 is not a good place to let someone shoot themselves out of a slump especially when the rest of the team is playing well without her. I'd like to see her start the next game strong but if she doesn't I don't see how you take a chance on her going 1-15 and us lose a close game.

[CadaverDawg]

When we guard the 3 and play transition D, we're tough to beat. Teams struggle against our halfcourt D

[CadaverDawg]

If we can ever cut out the 5 minute spurts of suck periodically where we let teams back in games...we'll be hell

[ScoobaDawg]

5:44 to go MSU 69, Depaul 53

[ScoobaDawg]

grant fouls out. 3pt's didn't do anything today for depaul.

86-66 1:30 left

[CadaverDawg]

Awesome job ladies! What a half

Sweet 16!!

[CadaverDawg]

We won't beat them by 20 no matter what we do. They are too good for that. I saw that Friday.

Dawgs win by 21.

Come on, Liverpool...give your boy some credit, haha

[ScoobaDawg]

Final Score MSU 92 DePaul 71
Dawgs back to the Sweet 16.. 2 years in a row.

[LC Dawg]

Great game. I really like Okorie's game today. Having two bigs playing well is a huge advantage. Hopefully we keep this up in Oklahoma City.

[CadaverDawg]

2 bigs playing well, a 3 point shooter that is on fire suddenly, oh yea and then Vivians, William, Richardson and Dillingham. How do you prepare for that??

[Liverpooldawg]

We won't beat them by 20 no matter what we do. They are too good for that. I saw that Friday.

I love being wrong!

[Liverpooldawg]

Dawgs win by 21.

Come on, Liverpool...give your boy some credit, haha

You called it! That was a good win. Most of that team's losses came when January was out hurt. With her they are probabaly a Top 10 team.

[CadaverDawg]

I love being wrong!

Ha, Me too. Hopefully I'm wrong about not thinking we are good enough to get beyond the sweet 16.

[CadaverDawg]

Did they lose many this year? Were they a good team in your opinion? I admit I didnt follow WBB close enough to know

[Liverpooldawg]

They lost 7 games prior to the tourney. They have been ranked most if not all of the year. I don't know much about the woman's game. I was basing on seeing them play Friday. They are pretty solid all the way around. Their only real weakness is inside, which we exploited to the hilt.

[TXDawg]

So, are we pulling for Washington or Oklahoma tomorrow? Washington is the higher seed, but Oklahoma would essentially be playing a home game in the Sweet 16.

At this point, I think I'm pulling for Washington.

Gotcha. I heard the announcers say 3 of there losses were to Marquette, which meant nothing to me bc I don't know if Marquette is any good. Ha

[RocketDawg]

Dawgs win by 21.

But you didn't mean it literally. ;)

Talk about a lose/lose scenario for our girls. You either get the best scorer in WBB history, or Oklahoma on basically their home turf. I still think I'd rather play Oklahoma, just bc we seem to struggle shutting down one woman teams like Epps & the South Carolina girl. I may be wrong though. Oklahoma is also a lower seed, so that's never a bad thing to get in the sweet 16

[Liverpooldawg]

If we can ever cut out the 5 minute spurts of suck periodically where we let teams back in games...we'll be hell

The Refs let them back in it, we didn't.

[CadaverDawg]

But you didn't mean it literally. ;)

Damn you, lol.

Maybe not, but I don't know anything about Oklahoma. A week or two ago I saw a highlight with the Plum gal on Washington's team and she's something else. Of course, that was a highlight reel, but I think she's the leading scorer in the country. Might not want to run into her.

[Liverpooldawg]

Gotcha. I heard the announcers say 3 of there losses were to Marquette, which meant nothing to me bc I don't know if Marquette is any good. Ha

Most of their losses came when January was out hurt, including both regular season ones to Marquette. They might be a Top 10 team with her.

[CadaverDawg]

The Refs let them back in it, we didn't.

Yea but we do tend to have a few lapses each game where we have a scoring drought, or shoot a bunch of bad shots, or don't get back on D, etc, and let teams back in. Kinda like we did the entire 4th vs USC, and like we did when we let them cut it from 20-10 at the end of the third today. There were some bad calls though today for sure

[CadaverDawg]

Most of their losses came when January was out hurt, including both regular season ones to Marquette. They might be a Top 10 team with her.

Impressive to do what we did then...especially considering we were only up 1 at half. Very impressive

[WSOPdawg]

In addition to the 3 Marquette losses, those January losses also included losses to

Baylor by 32 (who we may get a shot at in the Elite 8),
UCONN by 45 and
Notre Dame by 14 (who is a 1-seed).

So our win stacks up nicely.

Vic has benched her most of these last two games, though.
