MICHIGAN STATE GAME DAY THREAD

[Cazzie22]

Sigh! We deserve to lose this game.

MSU Parks fouls out @ 3:00

Confidence in favor of MSU big time.  Hitting a good percentage of 3s can be fools gold sometimes (as NU did in the 1st half).  Offense just hasn't clicked in the 2nd half.

Kevin Patel is single-handedly keeping MSU in the game

[Cazzie22]

Our poor play has kept MSU in the game.  Our baseline inbounds plays continue to stink.

2 point game :34 left

 

TO Huskers (to advance the ball)

Do we want Bourne shooting free throws?

26 turnovers.  And we have veteran guards.  Inexcusable.

[mwm89]

Good to have a 6 pt lead now, but 2 threes can change that.  Finish strong ladies!!

[huskerchode]

Do we have glue on the bottom of our shoes?  Why do we stand with our feet rooted in place, with a defender covering us, but still think we can receive the ball?  This reminds me of when my daughter played club in elementary school.  MOVE YOUR FEET.

[Cazzie22]

Get this inbound to Jaz as she can make free throws.

Me and my typing fingers!

[Red Don]

WHEW!!! WHAT A FINISH! HUSKER LADIES WIN!!! 71-67 (A WILD ONE!!)

Alexis, you were HUGE when we needed you most (at the FT line)!  Probably didn't deserve to win, but we'll take it.  GBR!!

We should be glad to get out of this with a win.  I am frustrated with the continuing sloppy play.  Jaz’s Hot dog behind the back pass that cost us a sure bucket nearly came back to haunt us.  

[Cazzie22]

When will we play a complete game?

It's getting really frustrating to watch game after game of the women making dumb mistakes.  26 turnovers! That is unacceptable at this level.   I realize that good teams will have some turnovers every game but this is terrible.  Every game we have several turnovers just trying to get the ball in under our basket. We actually deserved to lose this game. We blew a 21 point lead late in the 3rd quarter.  We just got lucky at the end.  We'll probably win  a few more games but this year has been a huge disappointing year. I hope Coach Williams actually goes out and gets some good impact players for next year.

Definitely need an upgrade in talent if they want to compete at the top level of this league. 
Otherwise, plan on being a middle of the conference bubble team year after year in my opinion.

Fair point. Bit of a Catch-22, maybe - you need to recruit high level talent to win more…but you need to win more to attract high level talent.

I'll agree to disagree.  I think the talent is there, I do not think player development is

Also a fair point. Very fair.
