My prediction for today's

My prediction for today's game is THjr will get back in the groove.   23 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and a pretty solid defensive game.  

Michigan by 8 and Sparty will complain about the refereeing.   

GO BLUE!

Don't have access to a feed right now, but 2-0 about 4 minutes in makes me think this game is going to be a dragger.  Hopefully the offense can get going, but how does Green look?

Post Play

2 things...

When is Beilein going to learn that Smotz is NOT a center?

Vogrich is terrible on defense...

I don't understand why you don't bring in McLimas to play the 5, Smotz at 4...etc. when you take Burke out.

smot

i can easily argue that he plays a better 5 defense than mclimans.  both tho are weak in comparison to morgan.

I disagree

He's too soft. And when he tried to play tough, he gets into foul trouble (like now)

I think he's fine playing the 4 on defense, but I cringe anytime Morgan comes out and he goes to 5. Novak plays the 4 MUCH better than he plays the 5.

This is why we miss Horford so much. With that said, McLimas would be my backup center, Smotz would play the 4 and the 4 only. I'd play them BOTH (Smotz and McLimas) over playing Smotz at the 5.

Review on Novak's 3

They didn't even review whether it was a 2 or a 3 until after MSU went down the court and scored and Michigan was about to inbound the ball.

Is that even allowed?  I would assume that the refs would only be able to review a possession through the following possession, if that makes sense.

doesn't really matter when

doesn't really matter when they review it, especially since it was 5 minutes into the game.  

 

If the game is 5 - 4 instead of 5 - 5, are you really gonna change up your game plan at all?

 

Obviously,  2 minutes left in the game would be a different story...

If Vogrich didn't get any minutes, our rotation would be only 6.5 people (Smotrcyz's fouls means he counts as 0.5 of a bench player)

If Beilein followed the advice of this board...

THJ, Smotrycz, Vogrich, and Douglass would all be benched and our lineup would be Burke/Novak/McLimans against MSU's whole team

People need to chill out -

People need to chill out - especially with the derogatory comments.  Everyone knows the limitations of certain players - no need to be personally offended by a player who puts on the Maize and Blue.

MSU made their first half run.  We've weathered it and have started to get behind them on offense.  That should loosen up the OTB defense and help create some things.

Believe in Beilein.  You know he'll wait for the perfect moment to bust out the 1-3-1 to spark a run.

Thank You

I don't think people acknowledge that even if we lose this game by 14 points, we're still in good shape for a 5-6 seed in the NCAA tournament.  This board acts as if we are the worst team in the Big Ten whenever we aren't playing like we did against Wisconsin.

I think what a lot are reacting yo

Isn't that Beilein hasn't done a real good job this year, but that he did a really crappy job this week because we obviously weren't set to match the intensity or game plan MSU came to play with. Because we're not losing; we're getting the doors blown off us in the second biggest game of the year.

Lots of game left, and even if it's more likely right now to lose by 20 than win, it's not a lost hope yet. But it doesn't change that we didn't cone ready to play today to start with, and against a rival that's bad.

I don't think that would work.

I would think the defenders would just switch off, so you wouldn't be able to free Novak for the 3.  I'm also not confident enough in THJ's ball handling to let him dribble around that much.  You also can't do a pick-and-roll with anyone but Morgan, because if Morgan is on the floor his defender is going to be near the basket.  Plus, you need the quickness advantage of Burke vs. whoever is defending Morgan so that the ballhandler can turn the corner on the hedge and get the ball to the roller.  I don't see that working with anyone but Burke and whoever is playing the 5.

Fact is, losing Hardaway's shooting efficiency

should be hurting us much more this season than it actually has... We basically need Burke to play out of his mind every game against a decent opponent.

EDIT: Or have Novak and Douglass actually contribute offensively to some degree...

You misinterpreted my edit

It was meant to be a hopeful comment, based on the fact they that are clearly leading our offensive effort this game.

The gameplan is simple...

Michigan State is clearly hyped up and they're playing agressive defense.

They're going to force turnovers, but they're also going to commit a lot of fouls.

We have to match the aggression and get them into foul trouble.

Hang close and win the game from the free throw line.

Two reasons

Michigan St. has said, "No

Michigan St. has said, "No matter what happens, Trey Burke is not beating us." We seem to not have many other options. Our only points are off of wide open cuts to the basket or Novak getting open for three. Every time we score, they respond and our defensive effort is not inspiring. Hopefully, they come out stronger in the second half but I'm tired of saying that in every road game. They seem to be adjusting as the game is going on so that's encouraging.

It's just frustrating to watch because I think the talent is there and when the team plays up to potential it's great to watch. For long stretches this season, though, something just seems to not be clicking with some of the guys. We get in long funks where only Burke and Novak want to seem to carry the weight. I think those two guys have played heroically all season.

As I finish typing, Burke proves what a straight baller he is.

Not really Smotz

He started the year as a double double threat...he was playing well. However, too many fouls and too many turnovers trying to dribble and get got sent to the bench.

He went to the bench and lost his shot and his confidence.

THJ on the other hand, he hasn't played one good meaningful game all year.

I agree except not on the first possession. When Smotrycz and Mclimans are playing the 5 we should run this because even when we invert we can preserve the spacing since those guys can knock down open threes. It would be tough for teams to react to this, methinks.

Keys to comeback victory...

1.  We have to win the first four minutes before the TV timeout. 

2.  Keep holding our own on the boards.

3.  We have to get THJ going.  Once one falls, it will start to rain...

4.  We must close off the drives.

5.  Burke for Treys

Have to be aggressive...

If we try to run our offense and shoot 3's...they win.

For every 3 we get, they will get 3 turnovers against us.

We MUST take the ball to the basket and get them into foul trouble.

Then 3 things happen:

  1. They foul
  2. They give up an easy basket avoiding the foul
  3. They help down and we kick out for that same 3 pointer

If we just pass the ball around the arc and set screens to try and get 3's. We lose by 15.

we are undersized across the board.  the times we've drived the basket, we've turned the ball over or got the shot blocked.  i agree about driving, but to create open shots, like 3s.

Off top a little bit

This is a little off topic as it applies to the basketball game and I can't start my own MGoBoard post, so here it is....

I drive a cab in East Lansing, so I pick up lots of random drunks, brahs (they REALLY do say "brah" a lot) and hotties with festering STDs, however, last night I picked up a kid who was a back-up punter at MSU from 2008 till this past year. He was a pretty nice guy so I figured I'd ask him something that's been eating away at me for a while. What's the story on Jerel Worthy's Missouri-hating tattoo?? Well, he laughed and asked me if I had seen his Dayton, ohio tattoo. I hadn't. He proceeded to tell me he has an ohio tattoo highlighting Dayton (his hometown) and the location of Dayton on the map tattooed on his body is at least 300 miles away from where Dayton is actually located. His tattoos have apparently been a source of much ridicule in the Michigan State lockerroom as well as on The Blog. He chalked it up to Worthy just being a, "bad tattoo getter."

I thought that was worthy of a post, no pun intended. Most of my encounters leave me more annoyed by the common MSU student every second, but last night was a funny anticdote that had me laughing to myself for the next hour.

After seeing the halftime show: Does anyone else get literally creeped out watching Anthony Davis play basketball?  It's like he's not even human; more like some sort of Gumby-alien.  I felt the goose bumps on my spine when he went up for a rebound and his gooooomby arms just shot and somehow managed to grip the ball (even though it's like catching a pass with chop sticks)!

BIG officiating is a joke.

BIG officiating is a joke.  Burke gets clobbered and pushed when he drives, no call.  Appling hand checks him (barely) and the whistle blows.  I know Michigan has no low post game and shoots a lot of threes, but they actually drive a lot and rarely get the benefit of contact.  Still, they need to wake up and start matching State's intensity.  That Burke three was huge, because we get the ball to start second.

Mouse in the house?

Did Verne just call Novak a mouse in the house? The guy who has held green to a career avg of 7 points against Michigan? Wow. On a side not... scoring would be nice

This is what happens when you can't make a shot and your opponent can't miss.  It's frustrating as hell.

Have to say

I haven't watched any part of a game this team has won.
Their ability to throw the ball around the round thing is amazing.
If the point were to get the ball to hit the round thing without going through, this team would be awesome.
