Jan 6 - Official MSU vs #17 Texas A&M Basketball Thread - Welcome Stansbury back

We've left them open for three all night.

Defense isn't the problem at the moment, only gave up 28 points and 3 of those at the buzzer. We've got to execute better on offense to beat a team like A&M. 25 points won't cut it.

[Irondawg]

Yep - we've got to score 65 to win it. They are going to shoot better in the 2nd half. We need to keep attacking the basket and play inside out and hopefully we can hit a few 3's and get Ware going

Yea we have to score.....That being said, defense wasn't terrific either. We gave up 28, but they were missing tons of wide open shots early...we just got lucky they were missing. We over rotate on our zone too many times when it's unnecessary, leaving us with two guys guarding one man closely & two others wide open for 3. Gotta slide over once the new defender slides into his spot in the zone...can't just stay there and defend the same guy.

Still better than giving up layups in our man to man. My word, how many wide open shots did we miss?

[ScoobaDawg]

Another 3... at least it was contested...33-29

[CadaverDawg]

Wow, they have figured out our zone...they can shoot a wide open 3 whenever they want to

Under 16, both teams catching fire in the second half. MSU shooting 50% while A&M has made 3 of 4. Aggies lead 37-34

[CadaverDawg]

Can somebody sneak into the Hump and destroy that awful assed Jock Jamz CD they're playing. I mean, really? That's pathetic

[ScoobaDawg]

Texas A&M is 12 of 44 from the field. Yet MSU only leads by one. Aggies +4 in points off turnovers and +9 off of 3s.
