MSU @ OK Basketball Game Thread

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well we came out cold shooting. Nothing within 18 feet of the basket.

[preachermatt83]

We are about to get blown out

[Lord McBuckethead]

17n ass whippin

[R2Dawg]

7 pts in nearly 10 min; about as bad as it gets.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not sure what is happening, but if we are going to rely on 22ft shots off the dribble we are looking at 75-35

[R2Dawg]

Spoon needs to drive and dish. OK not missing.

[R2Dawg]

I hate to say it but the officiating has been total BS. Charge on Carter really??

[MedDawg]

Horrible call.

I thought that was offensive foul too or maybe just a good acting job. Hadn't replayed to be sure. Officiating ain't causing us to play like shit tho.

[parabrave]

Well sloppy play shitty shooting abnd refs with quick whistles don't help.

[R2Dawg]

Didn't say officiating had anything to do with our play just seen about 4 BS calls in OK favor. Yeah we playing bad.

[parabrave]

This is starting to remind me of the LSU 1st half. Nick needs to take charge and run the fing team cause right now we have reverted back to AAU ball.

[Maroonthirteen]

Gray, black..... ahoy statey.

We may suck at basketball but our alt uniform game is fire.

[R2Dawg]

Need to get this to about 5 before half.

[parabrave]

Hey a play that works get the ball underneath the basket and make them foul us. And now we can't make a layup/

[R2Dawg]

We are playing no D today and standing around on O.

[R2Dawg]

We get the OK broadcast crew for TV as well.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Giod push at the half. Looks like they got tired of getting open shots.

[parabrave]

Well thanks baby jesuse we got that late run. But we got to stop the sloppyass play. Need RP and Nick to really step it up/

[LoneStarDawg]

Hard to believe only down 8...feels like 28

[parabrave]

Ok lets get some defense going. And better shooting, less turnovers and just better play all around/

[parabrave]

Hey we are playing team BB now. And the refs finally called a walk. Now RP is in lets pound the basket.

[Maroonthirteen]

Hard to believe only down 8...feels like 28

Some people will bitch about anything

[CJDAWG85]

God Ado is so damn awful.

[maroonmania]

Can Howland talk to Vic to discover what a zone defense is? Might be worth a try every now and again when we sucking donkey balls with man to man defense.

[maroonmania]

And Perry lowers the shoulder for foul 4. So dumb when you are already in foul trouble.

[dawgday166]

Ain't it tho. As usual they make a decent comeback only to wilt and start doing stupid shit in the final analysis.

[PMDawg]

Perry is having a really bad day. That's the nicest thing I can say.

[CJDAWG85]

We tie the game and then go to complete garbage and go back down 7. Comical

[parabrave]

Dammit Nick.

[maroonmania]

Can't get over the Hump. Tyson and Nick miss back to back 3s that either would have given us a lead.

[parabrave]

Perry is having a really bad day. That's the nicest thing I can say.

Well thanks 3lb Jesuse that OK is playing as bad as we are. Nick and Ty are not helping by chunking up those 3pts. I swear I'm at the city gym watching a pickup game between the local gym rats.

[maroonmania]

Could we get a little defense on the corner 3 shots?

[parabrave]

Gosh darnnit quit shooting the fing 3.

[R2Dawg]

And Perry lowers the shoulder for foul 4. So dumb when you are already in foul trouble.

In Perry's defense, the defender pounded him before that and it was OK by refs then Perry got physical back and refs called it; it was a setup flop but if you are gonna let defender pound O player, you can't call that.

[R2Dawg]

Boy these announcers are OK homers and Big 12 homers.

[RocketDawg]

Do our guys think the NFL 3-point line is the one we're using?

[maroonmania]

Just way too much difference in 3 point shooting. We can't make one and they are draining them with regularity.

[parabrave]

good play by Stewart/

[R2Dawg]

Do our guys think the NFL 3-point line is the one we're using?

That is really messing us up. They probably know but when you are playing the game you go off feel. I've noticed we have tried to get behind that line. OK also has to do the same but seems like they have had their feet set when we have been playing feet dancing to get behind the 2nd line.

[R2Dawg]

DJ has really been quiet lately but he shows you what he is capable of. I hope he can get his confidence, we are gonna need him down the stretch of season.

Yea, Stewart a big factor in getting us back in this one.

Apparently Ben didn't do his Hoosiers rendition/

[maroonmania]

White boys for OU eating us alive.

[maroonmania]

FINALLY a made 3 by Carter.

[RocketDawg]

Good shot by Carter.

[parabrave]

Crappy call ref. All ball

[maroonmania]

That was NOT a foul.

[R2Dawg]

That is either jump ball or he walked or just no call good steal, refs try and seal the game for OK.

[maroonmania]

Same ol' same 'ol, we can't ever win a close game against a quality team (men or women) and the refs always seem to have a part in it.

[parabrave]

Well that sucked

[maroonmania]

And we lose again in a close one.

[maroonmania]

Well that sucked

We don't win close games against good teams. Just doesn't happen.

[Duckdog]

Well **** you cant beat the refs. There were some real shitty calls today fellas. Back to the bloody mary's

[CJDAWG85]

We got completely out coached in the final 4 minutes. Finally took the lead and shit all over ourselves.

[ShotgunDawg]

We don't win close games against good teams. Just doesn't happen.

We don’t in women’s either. It’s odd. We freak out in crunch time.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Farrrttttt

I'd rather watch the baseball team scrimmage than that last offensive possession with the game on the line. Its not like we had 3 seconds left there was like 13 seconds on the clock and thats the best we could do on offense

[Joebob]

Yet another FAIL

[maroonmania]

Well **** you cant beat the refs. There were some real shitty calls today fellas. Back to the bloody mary's

Same old thing. We lose and its all the refs fault. Yea, it was a bad call but I just get tired of us always blaming the refs when we can't win any close games that mean something.

[dawgday166]

Agree. We just ain't a tough team ... period. And if someone breathes on us hard when we're going to the hole or going back up with rebound and we either miss shot or lose handle on ball 9 out of 10 times.

[parabrave]

Well losing RP at the beginning at the game really hurt. We needed Nick to really step up and he just melted.

Too bad Woodard's shot didn't go but, as usual under Howland, the game was lost in the first 10 minutes of the game where we looked horrible. We don't play until our backs against the wall.

[maroonmania]

Its ALWAYS something with this men's team. I think that may be the last game I sit and watch. They just aren't worth the emotional investment. Can't believe in a game so big they came out and played like literal crap for the first 10 minutes of the game. We were down 26-13 and spent the rest of the game trying to dig out of the hole. I'm just tired of it.

[dawgday166]

Actually I think Nick played pretty well for most part. He's playing his role which is PG. He's defending pretty well too.

Problem is his return hasn't made us a better team

[dawgday166]

True. We also seemed to make our best run if I'm not mistaken when he was out of the game.

[99jc]

Do not lump the women's and men's teams together that's just plain ignorant. The women have played for 2 national championships.

[AROB44]

Well, I gave up after reading the second post in this thread....saw where we we going to get blown out. It's just a shame that if we only would get another coach, eliminate all missed shots and bad plays, and have competent refs, we would be undefeated and on our way to winning it all. Such is the life of a MSU fan.

[R2Dawg]

I am not sure why we came out so flat. We have no offense at all; just dribble pass around the horn and jack up a shot. We just didn't attack like we have. We didn't do that the past three games where we played well. This was on the road and this team has not figured out how to play on the road.

We are better since Spoon came back. He played OK today, would have liked to see him drive dish or score early in game when we were struggling. Perry got called for BS 3rd foul that took him out of game and got him a T.

Next couple games are key, lose and we could tank. We have really dug a hole for making the tourney now. NIT bound unless we go on a run.

[TXDawg]

Last possession with NW running Point was absolutely horrible. His selfishness was on full display like it always is in crucial situations. He wants to be THE MAN rather than helping his team get better and get the win.

Of all the things to bitch about that isn't what I saw at all. There was no play drawn up, no one moving to get open and under 10 seconds by the time he got in the front court. Is he supposed to just do one of those force passes and risk a turnover to someone who may or may not know what to do when they get the ball?

If anything it's on Howland for not having an offensive identity so guys are constantly just standing around.
