I’d say fiddler is having no problem. Would have taken nick 5 games to score what he’s got in this game
-
At least KJ is making FTs
-
Don’t understand not getting mayo the ball there
-
Good dub
-
Flory is gonna be a beast next year defensively.I hope he learning everything about that left hand from Hunter.
-
Wave that wheat Crimson!
-
This group could be legit if they can click a bit. Rock chalk!
-
SELF THE GOAT
-
Congrats coach!
-
Crazy wish he did it at home but this will work
-
591 and counting!

Head hunting for a 3rd in a few weeks
-
@wissox MSU ain’t no blue blue my friend
-
@kjayhawks Of course, but don’t spoil my narrative.
@BShark Still undefeated and even very accurately predicting scores in the process. Thinking my game thread starting game is rounding into shape.
-
That just felt like a dud. Crowd sucked (turns out there aren’t many Hawks or Spartans in Atlanta), the play sucked, just bleh all around. 2 weeks until dook

One thing we definitely need a lot of work on is penetration for easy lay up- - we have got to get that fixed and soon. – Fouling a lot by getting beat off the dribble drive
-
Got game done for the start of the new season of Curse of Oak Island. 2 hour special at 8!
-
talking about KJ’ ankle hurting him pretty bad
-
Another pull it out at the end games from the new Phog. Zeke, Juan, Hunter Thank you. KJ had one of his I’m here but where am I games. Zack goes in and somehow gets zapped by a cattle prod on every move. We have some work to do like get back on defense for starters. Hunter is still out of sync so he will get even better. He is tied with Jokic in the hops department.
-
I didn’t know that.
-
Wissox your score prediction was excellent.
-
If we could’ve made a FT my prediction would’ve worked haha. Definitely not a great night but a good enough night. Tons to work on which is as expected
-
@Zabudda Your Zach comment is making me laugh.
-
@Zabudda needs to pass like jokic
-
@patoh3 I thought Zach played hard and hustled after some boards. I’d give him crap about missing bunnies but hell even Hunt missed a dunk lol
-
@jayballer67 I agree. KJ looked earthbound. Like a bird that couldn’t fly.
-
We did well recovering when bidunga and storr had 4. Didnt miss a beat.
-
@kjayhawks I think Zach hustled and tried his best, but he seemed a little out of control.
-
Do we want Dook to win this?
-
@approxinfinity I think last years lack of depth would’ve been exposed in a game like this.
-
@wissox no question with the foul trouble we had tonight
-
Anyone have the plus and minus’s for this game?
-
+/- Hunt 11, Juan 13 , Mayo 10, Rylen 16, KJ 8, Coit -9, Storr -3, Flory -4, Zach -2, Kease 0
-
Diggy has struggled the last couple games.

Last year when they played their “C” game they tended to get whipped. I’d say this is fair to call a C game or possibly worse. This team will get so much better.

Yeah I am thinking his minutes likely fade away when Shak returns.
-
@BShark Likely so unless it causes spacing issues.
-
Who is Shak?
-
@wissox Shakeel Moore. He fractured his foot and is rehabbing his way back. He is a guard from Mississippi St. He is known as a good defender.
-
@patoh3 Thanks, forgot about him.
-
Warning, half a rant here! Read no further if you were happy with tonight’s performance!
Son of a biscuit lover, that was 100% ugly!!!
I know we won, but I’m am just steaming over the defense tonight. Very un-Self like.
I’m counting the days until Self blows a gasket over this truly clueless defense. So many possessions had entry level mistakes tonight. When I can point em out, you know something is very wrong. Wow. Ugly.
And then there was one possession where MSU got FOUR offensive rebounds!
I’m thankful we won, but not looking forward to watching this pathetic display. It’s gonna be a long season. The offense better bring it every night or we’re gonna struggle.

@approxinfinity said in Beat Izzy Beat Sparty:
I dont want anyone cut from the rotation. Solid personnel management tonight.
I think Self ruined the mojo and flow by starting Zeke tonight. He should have waited til Oakland.
-
IMO as others have mentioned, drop coverage with Hunter on the ball screens seems like something they must consider doing. Too much film of KU struggling here. Griffen might have made the play of the game where he had great awareness and got a block, that was a big time play that changed the momentum. So, there was defensive plays made when needed but it wasn’t pretty. Mayo and Hunt also came up with key steals/rebounds as well late.
Foul trouble was an issue and MSU playing 2 bigs forcing Self to play Bidunga at the 4 with Adams saddled with 2 fouls. It worked on Offense as KU got into the paint and got Flory three dunks but defensively, I could tell they have not practiced it much, if at all. Booker had one where Flory never left the paint before he took his shot, the same area Hunt was already in, so that leads me to believe Flory did not know his assignments playing the 4. He’s more mobile than Hunt so it was kind of alarming to see how much room he was giving his man who was camped on the perimeter.
I definitely wanted to see this combo out on the floor but it definitely needs some work defensively.
-
Usually, I can tolerate Jay Bilus during games, but not during the Champions Classic where it becomes a Duke propoganda/love fest. I’m sure glad Duke lost. I didn’t stay up for the second half and won’t take the time to watch a replay. How did Jay take the loss after declaring during our game that Duke had the most talent of any team in the country?

Hmm, I’m not quite that concerned. About what I was expecting for a team with so many new pieces. November basketball. If we look like this in February that will be alarming.
-
I still see hope for Zack. He was in the middle of every play while he was in, showing hustle and desire. But he was so sped up it turned into fumble finger results. I think (hope) with more playing time the hustle and desire will win out.
