Just another 5 vs. 8 road game in the good ol' B1G.

Nobody boxing out

Yep. Rebounding will be the key in the second half to getting back into this one. Can’t do anything about the sh*tty refs. But we can be the first to the ball and rebound.

these announcers and studio analysts make me realize how much I miss Raycom

The way we rotate on D sometimes we can’t get a good block out position on D.  But if you are allowed to tip the ball when it is in the cylinder and use your off hand to hold down the guy below you, no amount of blocking out is going to work.

 

The truly sad thing about all of this is that MSU is good enough even without the extra help.  Because you aren’t going to get this kind of officiating in the big dance.

Only hurts our own down the line.  Have said this since we came into this league.  Same as no offensive holding on the line in football until the bowl games and all the BIG lineman get called for holding.

Oh and I think they got Conner shut down, can’t get open and then the flagrant foul call. He might be done for the day.

Glad to see someone else caught that goaltending

Reid Gettys and Doug Bell always loved us on Studio 66 ESPN Plus.

Shon Morris is like if AI called a game. Will be adamantly wrong about a couple things, believes past things are still true and has no personality at all. 

[REDZONEDAN]

I’m surprised they didn’t call Meah for a flagrant 1 on that bump.

[Huskerpapa]

Meah is missing me off...just saying

"If you don't love that (flailing around on the floor while traveling) you don't love basketball." Shon Morris

 

Then I don't love "basketball", Shon

[Huskerpapa]

Need to get a shooter in the game

[CanadianHusker]

We have to be first to the ball or we don’t have a chance

[Vinny]

I hope Essegian not starting the second half isn’t about that BS flagrant.

[Silverbacked1]

Okay 22 and Rollie smash into each other bodies flying no call, but Connor breathes on a kid the sniper from the top row drops him and we have a flagrant.  

[B1G Red]

The mental focus is lacking today.

[hal9000]

Here come Essegian, that goon of a player (apparently).

[Cazzie22]

Not much movement on offense.  Rollie is too ball centric.

[Silverbacked1]

Frankie with the second grade behind the back dribble…

Radio said that Fred wanted more size on the flooor.

[Huskerpapa]

Let's now see if our team quits or fights

It might be close to an impossible task at this point. But this team is not going to quit 

[millerhusker]

Way too soft. We’re not punching back. There’s been 41 missed shots and we have 12 damn rebounds as a team right now. 

[Vinny]

Better be a flagrant. It’s up high. Why aren’t they rushing to the monitor like someone died this time?
