[December 30, 2023] Indiana State (11-1) at Michigan State (6-5)

[CoachShipp]

Need to keep this at 4-6 point deficit at the half

 

[bent20]

If we can just weather the storm and get to the 2nd half.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Man, needed one or both of those last 2 3FAs.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Hey, refs, while you're there how about looking at the smack to the head of Gray from our last time down the floor?

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Yep, it was a travel Tom. He was also bodied to no call down there.

 

[CoachShipp]

Dude travelled

 

[Jason Svoboda]

And then that WAS NOT a foul, either. LMAO. But hey, have some FTs.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Don't want to call 22 hugging Bledson in the middle so he couldn't go out and screen for Swope, eh?

 

[Jason Svoboda]

He smacked him on the left elbow area. It's easy to see on the replay. Do people not have eyes?

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Sparty 44, State 34 at the half.

 

[jturner38]

MSU only up bc they have capitalized off of our turnovers.

 

[treeman]

10 point deficit isn't the end of the world. but that was a bad finish to half, would have felt like a win if we would of kept it 6 or under. We didn't play too well that half other than the 3 ball going down. Obviously need to do something about the rebounding, they've taken nearly twice as many shots as us. Not going to win too many games doing that

 

[Jason Svoboda]

MSU only up bc they have capitalized off of our turnovers.

That and second chance opportunities. They have to have like 10 more shots than us.

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

That Bledson missed 3 to get it to 2 was massive.

 

[jturner38]

Also Aaron Gray should have shot the ball on the last possession he had. MSU really didn’t close hard on him enough in my opinion for him to decide to drive on that possession.

 

[King of Jones Hall]

Feels like we should be down about 25. Not a great half. The fact that it is only a ten point game gives me some hope.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

That Bledson missed 3 to get it to 2 was massive.

Was that the off balance one where he was hacked? Even the announcers thought the refs missed the call on that one.

 

[meistro]

Way too many turnovers that were really unforced and too many offensive rebound. Keeping it under 6 would have been huge.

 

[meistro]

We really need Conwell and Larry to show up offensively this half.

 

[BallyPie]

Let's pick our poison...dump the man defense.....go zone and let them try to beat us with the 3....we gave up way too many in the paint.

We can't keep trying to defend the 3 line and paint...we neen to pick one or the other...
