Going to have to beat the refs tonight. They’re letting MO pound us.

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 08:39 PM
Blair's the only one who can make a shot for us so far.

02-01-2018, 08:42 PM
This one scares me. Classic trap game.

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 08:42 PM
Missouri came to play tonight ... we've gotta be careful.

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 08:44 PM
We’re just jacking up 3s and not running our offense. When we do go low, they let them pound us. Vivian’s and William both got hammered and no call.

RougeDawg
02-01-2018, 08:45 PM

Liverpooldawg

13-10 Missouri

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 08:48 PM
We're down 13-10 with just over 2 minutes to go in the first quarter.

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 08:49 PM
Playing as bad as we can.

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 08:49 PM
#23 for Missouri has the shoulders of a man. She must be taking something ....

RougeDawg
02-01-2018, 08:51 PM
Still early. If we MSU fans know anything, big leads can be blown in the wink of an eye or Stansbury stall. 3 points will
Be erased in no time.

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 08:52 PM
16-14 Missouri at end of first quarter. This is the worst we've looked all year, so Vic needs to have a little talk with them. They're pretty much getting away with pounding on McCowan under the basket though.

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 08:56 PM
We're playing a little more aggressively now.

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 08:58 PM
Another obvious foul

Officiating is pitiful. So is our play.

This is not a good matchup for us! Their guards are big and ours are small! UConn has big guards too and would beat us bad!

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 09:10 PM
We didn?t show up tonight.

Red Sox Dawg

Vic isn?t even his typical firey self

RougeDawg
02-01-2018, 09:16 PM
We are shooting 29% to their 48%. That will even out in 2nd half. Don?t melt.

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 09:17 PM
Down 9 at the half. Might be our lowest first half scoring of the year. Definitely our worst game of the year.

Commercecomet24
02-01-2018, 09:18 PM
See how we handle some adversity. You know Vic is pissed.

This. Vic will fire them up during halftime.

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 09:19 PM
Would be a 3 pt game if we made our FTs. MO should have 4our 5 additional fouls too. Shot it horrible and didn’t play good defense.

Leeshouldveflanked
02-01-2018, 09:25 PM
When will Morgan William step up and start making plays? Vic's decision to redshirt Myah Taylor may hurt us down the stretch...

Irondawg
02-01-2018, 09:26 PM
Missouri plays extremely physical. It?s their attempt to get in teams heads. All depends on if the refs allow it or not. Stole the playbook a bit from SC who has also been pretty physical the past few years.

tcdog70
02-01-2018, 09:26 PM
Big T has to be stronger in the post. She is shooting like crap. RoJO and Blake also are in a funk

BuckyIsAB****
02-01-2018, 09:27 PM
This is a typical letdown game against a team who is pretty good.

We aint beating UConn this year boys, its been fun and its gonna be fun but I just dont see it. We arent big or deep enough

Fair point but they just skull dragged the USCe team and they have a big dominant C too. We'll see

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 09:41 PM
I think Vic may have encouraged them at the half ....

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 09:42 PM
Terrible call.

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 09:42 PM
Damn sorry officials

What flops worse...a fish out of water or a Mizzou player?

maroonmania

In a game like this Bibby should be told to shoot only when she is with the ball under the basket.

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 09:50 PM
In a game like this Bibby should be told to shoot only when she is with the ball under the basket.

She's been a little shot-happy tonight and isn't that good a shooter. Not sure why she's playing so much.

We're winning again are we still melting?

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 09:51 PM
McCowan's shooting has kinda regressed tonight ....

civildawg
02-01-2018, 09:53 PM
She is having a very off night that?s for sure. These refs have been bad for both teams

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 09:53 PM
McCowan looks lost tonight. No focus at all.

maroonmania
02-01-2018, 09:53 PM
Worst I've seen McGowan play in a long time.

starkvegasdawg
02-01-2018, 09:55 PM
Another missed shot from six inches.

Vivians can be tough when she wants to be. Almost body slammed the MO gal with that tied ball. :)

Overall we had a good 3rd quarter. Down by 11 at the half, up by 3 at the end of the 3rd.

Great shot by Vivians but it doesn't count ... traveling.

Man if those NCAA tourney projections they just put up came true that would be major bs.

That was just the woman announcer's view of things. Not sure where she came up with that. But if were to happen, it would be like our men's team playing a low seed Texas team (Baylor?) in Dallas some years ago.

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 10:03 PM
RoJo hurt?

Red Sox Dawg

William can't seem to make a shot anymore and McGowan just looks gassed.

We are playing like total crap and Missouri is getting 3 out of 4 50/50 calls.

Ah, I have it on mute. I just saw that they had us as the 4th overall 1 seed and traveling across the country to be matched up with Oregon in their backyard while all the other 1 seeds got to be within a few hours of their campus.

Schaefer is the only reason we're remotely in this game. Seems to be the only one playing with any type of intensity

McCowan could dunk all those shots she's missing if she wanted to. Shoots like she did as a freshman.

Big T, as bad is she is playing, has more to do with it.

Haha. A Technical. :) And she deserved it.

maroonmania
02-01-2018, 10:16 PM
How about the push in the back of McGowan? That is why she hit the floor.

Understatement of the decade

02-01-2018, 10:16 PM
That coach is working on getting another T. Or ejection.

Dawg61
02-01-2018, 10:17 PM
This the same Mizzou coach that called Dawn Staley out for fostering a racist environment

maroonmania
02-01-2018, 10:17 PM
McCowan having a tough night

Yep, if she just has an average night we are up by at least 10 points right now. Will need a lot more from her Monday night to beat SC.

StarkVegasSteve
02-01-2018, 10:17 PM
Big T, S bad is she is playing, has more to do with it.

From a rebounding standpoint, absolutely. But if she would've made half her shots we'd be up double digits

Red Sox Dawg
02-01-2018, 10:17 PM
Mizzou coach blew a gasket

starkvegasdawg
02-01-2018, 10:17 PM
If we made our FT?s the game would not be in doubt. Need to hang on to this one and regroup.

Saltydog
02-01-2018, 10:18 PM
misses and 8 or so misses at the free throw line! Her footwork is horrendous!

RocketDawg
02-01-2018, 10:19 PM

maroonmania

I'm really concerned that Big T is going to grind down with fatigue here at the end of the year. Last year she shared minutes with Okorie. This year she has had to play a lot more minutes.

WeWonItAll(Most)
02-01-2018, 10:20 PM
The ref actually did make the right call. I thought we were finally the beneficiary of a horrible call before that replay from the baseline.

I'm really concerned that Big T is going to grind down with fatigue here at the end of the year. Last year she shared minutes with Okorie. This year she has had to play a lot more minutes.

William just can't buy a basket any more. What has happened to her?

starkvegasdawg
02-01-2018, 10:25 PM
Now guard the perimeter. Give up the 2.

Cooterpoot
02-01-2018, 10:26 PM
Morgan William hasn’t been as good this year. She is struggling shooting compared to last year.

We’ve run some terrible offensive sets down the stretch. And held it too long last time.

maroonmania
02-01-2018, 10:28 PM
Morgan William hasn’t been as good this year. She is struggling shooting compared to last year.

Yep, she had a wide open shot but can't hit. I can't remember the last time I saw her make a perimeter shot. I guess R Johnson is hurt. Not having her is really hurting us as well.

civildawg

Liverpooldawg

An entertaining game where MSU is involved is a 50 point blow out win for us. . Come on man.

That offensive foul call was a pretty poor way to end the game. Though as weak as the ball was passed out to the corner I don't know that the Missouri girl could have collected it and got a shot off in time.

Liverpooldawg
02-01-2018, 10:37 PM
We played like crap on the road. We shot less than 31%. AGAINST A RANKED TEAM. And we won. That is the mark of a SPECIAL elite team. Very, very, VERY good win.

Dawg61
02-01-2018, 10:38 PM
Love to know what Vic said to McCowan right before those free throws. She was laughing for a good 30 seconds before shooting them from whatever he said and it seemed to work cause she made both.

KOdawg1

From a rebounding standpoint, absolutely. But if she would've made half her shots we'd be up double digits

Todd4State
02-01-2018, 10:40 PM

At this point we learn more in close games vs ranked teams on the road than we do in 50 point blowouts. If you were a real fan you'd want our team to grow and learn. Stop being a luke warm fan that needs comfortable blowouts so you don't get nervous.

Yep, that was 100% a charge. The call Mizzou should be bitching about is the travel that should have been called on Vivians. You can't just HOPE the ref swallows his whistle at the end of the game when you plow through a defender who has position.

Dawg61

Lol, win them all by as much as possible. There are no moral victories or learning experiences for this team. It's a veteran team, and it's one of the very best in the country. That being said, every elite team has to grind one out like that. Richard Williams was probably grinning like a 1000lb possum! His kind of win.

Some of you have short memories. We had several close games last season that came down to the last play. We came out on top in a game where we played less than our best on the road. We are gonna show up Monday with a fire that I don't think we've seen so far this season.

Yikes, hope they kept her away from the rest of the team. I remember the high school football team I am around, a very good program on it's level, losing a playoff game it probabaly wouldn't have because of the flu. This year's flu is nothing to sneeze at, pardon the awful pun.

Lol, win them all by as much as possible. There are no moral victories or learning experiences for this team. It's a veteran team, and it's one of the very best in the country. That being said, every elite team has to grind one out like that. Richard Williams was probably grinning like a 1000lb possum! His kind of win.

The starting lineup is veteran. The second team is not outside of Jazz.. This was good for players like Bibby.. don't sell this win short.. it means a lot and a lot will be learned from it

Yikes, hope they kept her away from the rest of the team. I remember the high school football team I am around, a very good program on it's level, losing a playoff game it probabaly wouldn't have because of the flu. This year's flu is nothing to sneeze at, pardon the awful pun.
Well she was touching the same ball that everyone else was... let's just pray it doesn't spread

Woah, I would be seriously impressed if Vic starts landing UConn transfers. This girl has 3 or 4 years left of eligibility?

I think she would have to sit out like Jordan Danberry(til January) not sure

And to top off a GREAT night, the Preds rolled 5-0 on Forseburg's return. We went to a game over Christmas, the Preds worst loss of the year unfortunately, but it cemented me as a fan. MSU, Liverpool, and the Preds, those are my teams I am really into.

Be a hell of a player to add regardless when she's available. Sounds like at worst she's got 3 years left of eligibility.

Salah for Liverpool is killing it this year. Almost every match I have watched that dude has scored.

Salah has really settled in after some early shooting troubles. He is fun as hell to watch

Not selling it short, every championship team has to win at least one of those. I lived 1996, so I ain't that impressed with the second team being inexperienced as an excuse.

He is the best atracker we have had in a while. I think he is better than Suarez. He is certainly better than Coutinho. I just hope we can hold on to him. With FSG really behind the team we aren't going to lose a player we really want to keep to a Manchester City like we did Sterling. On the other hand when Barca (Coutinho) or Real Madrid (rumored to be after Salah) REALLY want a player, it's almost impossible to hold them off unless you happen to be the other one in that pair. They will throw money at the club and the player until it just isn't realistic to hold on to them. Liverpool has been so close the last few years. I've been a rabid fan since the early 90's. In that time I have seen them win every trophy possible, except the league. To me that's the only one that matters now, and that includes the Champion's League. It will not happen this year, but we are SO close. We have to hold on to our best players, we just have to.

Didn't say anybody was old. Just said it was quite a while ago in a different era in men's (not women's) basketball.

That said, was there no post-game press conference tonight? Can't find one for either team. Bit odd.

It was, but we basically played 8 guys that year, and those 3 inexperienced players didn't play that many minutes. It was an amazing group.

So, no post-game press conference? I wanted to see Coach's reaction to the whole game. The slow start, the battling back.. etc

Guess it didn't happen and that may be for the best. Mizzou is embarrassing the SEC yet again with unfounded claims.

He did an interview after the broadcast on SEC Network.

Exactly, they got the call right.

If ya'll remember they did not make that call last year, twice at the end of the game and was part of the reason we lost.

18 points behind first place is hardly close. Man City's roster, coach and especially financial backing are on a totally different level than Liverpool at the moment.

Since Pep has been at City (summer 2016) they've spent:
$80 mil on keepers
$162 mil on midfielders
$69 mil on forwards
$330 mil on defenders

For a little extra perspective, Newcastle's owner wasn't willing to spend $20 mil on a striker with a pulse during the January window.

Screw City, they are a small recently relegated club that won the lottery. If FIFA actually enforced their Fair Play rules City would be in the Lancashire Pub league. We are pretty dang close if you follow what we have done on the pitch. We can beat the big boys, witness what we did to City a week or so ago. Our problem is we struggle to break down lessor teams that park the bus in front of goal, esp at Anfield. Most teams park the bus when they play there. When we eventually figure that out, we are going to be outstanding.

Like it or not they seem to be on a whole different level right now. Lesser teams approach City the exact same way they approach Liverpool and they haven't been stopped by it yet. Y'alls other problem is having a super leaky backline, though I can't decide if its personnel or a product of Klopp's tactics.

The Fair Play rules were made to protect the haves from more have-nots rising up like City and PSG did via absurdly wealthy owners. The rich clubs keep getting richer and the mid/smaller sized clubs got a steel roof put over their heads. City and PSG are gaming the shit out of the FFP rules though. See PSGs last transfer window and Man City using NYCFC and Melbourne City to funnel money and skirt around FFP.
