Tennessee at MSU - Basketball

[RocketDawg]

We're hanging in there. Early lead 7-5, 5 minutes in.

I see Tennessee has some Tony Vitello in their basketball team. I'm already not liking Uros Sasquatch.

Long timeout to repair the net. Need the old style hoops where you just hang the loops instead of having a breakable cable.

We are still struggling to score the basketball.. Tennessee is playing bad tonight and it's a tie score at half. We can't take advantage of their poor play

Halftime tied at 23. Lost a 6 point lead after the net repair.

Yep. Tennessee playing down to our level. Doubt we see that in the second half.

Our defense is causing them to make mistakes.

Reframe your mindset. Yea an offense would make us a top 5 team, but in year 1 i'll take a top 5 defense.

A tie game is taking advantage of their poor play. I thought we got out to a lead bc we were getting the benefit of some good calls. Then they got some good calls. I feel like the refs dictated both teams runs

[msstate7]

I have no confidence we will pull this out. The sec just completely screwed us with this schedule out the gate

[EdwardDrayton]

Reed's been hit with two very questionable foul calls.

The last one was really questionable. Tennessee guy hit him in the chin with his shoulder. No wonder Reed was complaining. Maybe they'll give us one back after they see the replay on the overhead.

I don't think so either but TN being down two starters is helping our cause.

That last one was especially questionable... looked like he was there to me...

Crap call for sure.

I always hate the double team tie ball call where 2 guys just wrap up a guy, and they get rewarded with a tie ball

That wasn't questionable. Clearly a charge. We getting screwed again by the refs when we are the better team tonight. Typical MSU. Like Stans said years ago after a UK raping, when you are MSU you are just supposed to take it. Refs have called UT back in this game.

[RocketDawg]

Should've left Reed in while he was hot.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Refs calling a blocking foul when their player literally lunged at our defender.

Could have called that 5 pt swing

[msstate7]

Need some stops, D

Are you even watching the game? Tennesse is without 2 starters. We can beat them and need to beat them, but that means we have to step up offensively and not just be happy for a tie at half

[R2Dawg]

If you breath on UT it is foul, hammer us and no call.
