This game is going to be a dog fight. UConn is locked in.

That changed quickly, huh? 27% from the floor and 2-12 from long range. What a sloppy first half for both teams.

At least it's a close game!

Ugly first half.

Re: The Official 2014 "Running Commentary of Every Single Game" Thread

Well if you told me we'd only be down four after shooting 27% I'd take it.

MSU is doing a great job defensively against our PnR and at keeping Boat out of the lane. He got into the lane at will against ISU and Nova and was hitting those 10' foot pull-ups.

The second half is going to come down to transition D as Kenny said. I think all but one of MSU's threes came in transition. I would guess 15-17 of MSU's 25 points have come in transition. Both halfcourt defenses have been phenomenal.

How the hell is that a foul on Napier?

From where the wild things are!

I hope Harris is okay after Napier fouled his arm with his face.

State's playing some awful basketball. Should be blowing UConn out of the gym if they were actually playing Izzo ball. But unforced turnovers, terrible shooting, bad defense. Wouldn't surprise me UConn starts to pull away with it

Re: The Official 2014 "Running Commentary of Every Single Game" Thread

I'm really surprised that State isn't even attempting to go inside on most possessions.

Appling being in foul trouble is great news for MSU.

We're in the bonus with 10 minutes left. Just to curse UConn...the way we shoot FT's that pretty much guarantees us a W in a game like this where both teams struggle to score.

Assuming they actually call MSU for the hand checking and clutching and grabbing they do on every single possession, which is a 50/50 proposition at best.

Game over, UConn wins

That and the god-awful Kemba 'head-bob' that Shabazz borrowed...that somehow refs still fall for.

With the way UCONN can knock down free throws, why aren't they attacking the basket? They can't expect to hit last second shots the rest of the game.
