Outside of the first 10 minutes, we have looked really good on defense and better as the game goes on with offense.
Playing with intensity has not happened in men’s bball in a long time. LETS GO JANS!
For a team that can't shoot 3s, we sure shoot a lot of 3s
We're 3/19 from 3
How can we year after year have no one who can make a 3?
I'm more concerned that we can't make 3s, and yet, we continue to shoot them like we DukeQuote:

I'll say this. We play hard and we play as a team. I don't see any selfish play. Been a while since we could say that.
We've looked better in 2nd.
Yeah, we've looked bad offensively but at least we have a gameplan. Last year, we'd pass it around the perimeter for 25 seconds and then jack up a bad jump shot.Quote:

I'm seeing some really good things tonight. Everybody is rebounding, sharing the ball, playing defense. I like it.
The majority are by Moore and Jeffries. Howland let them keep missing over and over. I hope Jans does something about it.Quote:

Yep, it simplifies the game plan so much. Look for him early and often and create motion around him.Quote:

2nd half has been better organized than anything Howland put on the floor his entire time here.
The fight for rebounds. Intense D, and TOLU doing TOLU things.
I like what I see.
I like a lot of what I saw 2nd half, but the onslaught of 3s is horrible. We can't shoot 'em... they should be limited.Quote:

We held them to 14 second half points. FOURTEEN.
Was that Stan?s kid that came in at the end? If so, I feel very old
That was fun. On to the Zips.
THAT FELT GOOD
Looked alot better the 2nd half. Definitely will be a defensive team, but somebody other than Tolu has to help score. I posed the question before the season started, who will be our go to perimeter scorer? As of now Shak is the closest thing we have to a perimeter scorer... There's just no DJ Stewart, Iverson Molinar, Q. Weatherspoon, Lamar Peters type scorer on this team.. hopefully one can emerge as the season goes on
Its only one game but I like what I saw 2nd half.
This brand of basketball feels like the old MSU and it fits who we are. We are a blue collar school and blue collar team. That is how we win.
I’ll take this DJ. And Cam does Cam things. I like what I saw
Wish our 3 point shooting would improve.
We would be very good with a 3 point sniper
Jans is a tough coach, who teaches physical defense and rebounding and he's pretty dang good in game coach too. We're gonna be tough and play hard!
You have to take those shots though. Shak will shoot it better.Quote:

Coaching wise, I agree. Can he get the players though?Quote:

Great win for Jans. More rebounds than were used to seeing, and great defense second half.
Is Friday on tv?
