[Bugeaters1]

Mich St always seems to be a bit over rated.

Looked at MSU's schedule, and for the most part they have played a weak schedule.   But they did beat Iowa by 2. Lost to Maryland, and Alabama. 

So not sure which team will show up. A  little like us really. We're on our home court, so that will help a bunch.

Maybe i haven't paid enough attention but I don't recall seeing Nissley guarded particularly closely.  I will watch for that this evening. 

I think that Rimdal and Prince are the all around best shooters. 

 

My hopes for tonight:

• that "fumbles" are greatly reduced.  If your teammate passes you the ball and you have your hands on it, keep it long enough to dribble to better position or pass to a teammate in a better position, or get a good shot
• Markowski goes two for three or three for five on three pointers and the little voice inside her tells her that the slump is over
• Prince sheds all signs of reluctance, shoots it up, shows her penetration ability, if she sees a chance to take over the game, take it!
• Weidner looks all game long like she looked in the last few minutes Sunday afternoon 
• Nissley gets 5+ shots
• (Futile hope I know but)  if a player gets hot on any combination of scores, steals, assists, etc .... Amy, let that horse run! 

Fingers crossed.

Looking at the preview, it appears that Michigan State does a very good job at creating turnovers. That may not be a great combination for our team. 
 

On the other hand, they aren’t as big on the interior as what we have seen recently.

Nope.

I see the refs have picked up where they left off last night by missing a foul right in front of them.

Yes

Go down to to where the setting is. and just left of that is where you can turn off the subtitles.

[longtimefan]

What a start. We can't get the ball past half court. We can't make a basket  Going to be a long night.

Did you get the subtitles fixed?

[Bugeaters1]

That was not a good call on Weidner.

[Bugeaters1]

Weidner starting to look like her old self.

[Bugeaters1]

Nice bounce back

[longtimefan]

We are such a Jekyll and Hyde team. You never know when or which 1 is gonna show up.

nothing works.........can't find a way to get rid of it. pretty sure i had that issue a few times last season. i believe it also happened during the spring volleyball game. not 2024 but 2023. one of the reasons why big ten should have a number a person could call.

[whoopdeedoo]

10 point lead not that big against MSU. gonna need to play a strong second half.

[Bugeaters1]

That wasn't a double dribble on Rimdall.

[Bugeaters1]

Keep AW in she opens so many things up for the other players.

[Bugeaters1]

26 for lex

I watch big 10 plus through Roku There is no place To take off the subtitle on it. There is no settings anywhere I can find.
