Yep, huge. Tulo is quietly becoming a force on the inside. Ado is just the enforcer that every offensive player knows about.

Remember this team was picked 12th in sec preseason! We are doing well.
First 4-2 sec start in "almost a decade" - secn update guy
DJ is too lazy on his dribbling
Good win, need to get one on the road against Bear Sharks. Gators were a decent team.
If you are bitching about winning then u need to study MSU basketball history. Overall it ain’t so good. Maybe a dozen good teams over the last 50 years. Be happy boys! LOL.
Let’s beat the crap out of OM.
Seriously, I was watching at 71-62 MSU with 40 seconds to go. From that point on if you wanted to document all the things NOT to do in the final minute of the game with a lead, those 40 seconds would be what you would want to use as your material to show your players. I have literally never seen a team this bad at the end of games. We don't even seem to understand the game situations.
Most of it is lack of experience with a very young team. As the season progresses they will or should better as a team. We are just now figuring out the rotation. Yes it was pretty sloppy, but they will learn more from winning and will be more motivated as time or the season goes by.
I still like this young team.
One thing I liked today was the post guys stepping up when the PGs were not at their best. That will help their confidence and help open up the offense going forward. Teams will now have to take that into account game planning. You take away our outside guys, we will pound it down low. You focus down low and outside will be open. Today?s game may have been the best game this young team could have played.
Other guys stepping up when your best two struggle, builds overall confidence. Could be a season changing game. Time will tell.
We are just inexperienced- especially at Guard. Molinar is a Soph that didnt play much last year. Smith a is true Freshman. Stewart is inexperienced. They are good players and will get better and better.
Our FT shooting is ultimately what will decide where this team ends up. We would be 6-0 in the SEC right now with just decent FT shooting
