Thanks.

Seconded

Team ball. TKo looks like he is about 50% at best out there.

Wondering if he is sick with the flu or something.    He looks like he might be.  Hope not.

Missed bunch of layups and free throws.  To be in this position is a miracle with no Oso, no Kolek, no Joplin.

Ben Gold had two big plays, the pass for a bucket (Omax missed the and one) and that three pointer. Just huge.

Don't look for much playing time for S. Jones in second half.

MSU lost Hoggard and we lost Kolek and Oso.  Evened out for awhile.

Make some of these layups, box out on rebounds and lets go....

Thank you. That was just complete spam.

[MuggsyB]

Yes, OMax needs to throw that down with authority.

[MUEng92]

I'm most stunned that MU played better with Gold than Oso on the floor

[mileskishnish72]

Half-time adjustments, Shaka.

Let's go!!

Keep the defensive pressure up and force then to take bad shots

We've been a 2nd half team all year.  This is our time.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. We got punched first. Now we punched back.

Would have loved for Prosper's shot to have fallen. But with Oso and Kolek with 2 fouls early. Nothing falling through the net, and an injury scare for Kam.

I'll gladly take down 5. We got this.

Great take!

We finally punched back with Prospers dunk.

Marquette's play changed since that moment.

After that scary start in the first half we are all hitting the kitchen for another cold beverage and thinking how discouraged we were half and hour ago. Yet, here we are. Get Oso back and the momentum will change and the points will come easier. And you have to play violent defense.

Great analysis by Smith at half. MSU is not defending the corners. Kam needs to kick it out on his drives. No hero ball.

That's not hero ball.  He's excellent on plays like that.

Got to defensive rebound. Cant give them 2 or 3 shots per possession.  I am confident we will get the W.

[MuggsyB]

Look, we need to ATTACK.  PERIOD.  Sissoko has 2, Hogard has 2.  Oso had one shot in the first half,TyKo had one shot.  Attack, use the shot fake, and be fking relentless. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

We're going to win this game.  I'm not getting drunk on a Sunday for no reason. 

[Oldgym]

MU traveled well today. Still MSU majority in the arena, but less than I thought.

Yes.  Gotten killed on the glass.  Focus and grab the damn ball.

In Scoop Leavenworth?

[cheebs09]

They are hitting a lot of long twos. Need to get the boards.

[Judge Smails]

We will be okay. BTW - nice hat judge!

thanks, I got a free bowl of soup with it

[Goose]

Fortunately it is a 40 game, not 10. They had to chance to be up big and MU battled hard. Need to make some transition or easier quick shots and change the flow of the game.

[MuggsyB]

MSU is 1-10 from distance and that's one of their strengths.  What we need is a vintage TyKo half.  He simply must wake up and be the player he has been all season.

Thank you! Finally!
