Tough Game

The refs are actually giving us a lot of calls today for being on the road.  I bet MSU is rebounding 60-75% of their misses.

I think maybe if Beilein

I think maybe if Beilein wants more work ethic out of the guys he should ramp up the pregame speeches a bit.  They're not exactly from the Vince Lombardi handbook to say the least. It might help us to not come out so flat if he would inject a bit of emotion into the locker room.

I think Brian said one too many times this werk

How Green didn't matter because he doesn't have good games against Novak.

Nice no-travel there.

Pretty sure if a guy falls down with the ball it's a travel.  Side note: I don't think I've ever watched a basketball game and said afterwards "Those officials called a good game."  I will not be saying it today either.

After they just showed all of THJ's shots...I noticed he is leaning back on every single one of them. Not neccessarily a fadeaway, but he's not going straight up. Therefor, most of his shots are extremely short.

Yeah, I don't know why people are complaining about the refs. I thought it was pretty even. The only thing that bugged me was the T on Beilein but they evened that up, eventually. No one can possibly believe we lost because of the refs.

Thought it was a block too. 

Thought it was a block too.  Went back and watched it in slo-mo and I think they got it right.  At the moment the State player left the floor (which when the defensive player must have position by), Zack was still sliding over.  Zack didn't really complain either, which he usually will when he thinks he had it.

This One

This is one of those games where you look in the mirror afterwards and simply say "Wow, we played like straight up dog poo." They aren't going to win, but if they did, Sparty would have to wonder what the f happened.

Can't shoot. Can't rebound. Hardaway couldn't hit one of those fisher price hoops with a ping pong ball. Douglas seems overwhelmed. Smotrcyz is useless. At least Burke, Novak, and Morgan seem like they give a crap.

What is frustrating is that

What is frustrating is that two of our players, THJ and Smotz, play like mice for the biggest game of the year. We didn't need that, but a win would have done so much for us in the short- and long term. THJ didn't move or play like he wanted to win. Evan doesn't know what a box out is and on the offensive end, decided that not moving was done best beyond the arc...frustrating

I know that we were playing

I know that we were playing with house money today (lower-ranked, on the road, already beat them in AA), but the way that we lost was disappointing.  We had a chance to make a run if we had hit ANY big shots, but we shot and rebounded so poorly that we let Sparty win with a mediocre performance on their part.

1-10

I would be less concerned about it if THJ would play some fucking defense, but his bad shooting has led to very lazy defense. He can't contribute on either end right now. Tom Crean benched Wofford to start the 2nd half. Why can't coach B do the same thing??

Given our extremely thin bench, it's probably better to just keep playing THJ and hope he can get through it.

for sure

but THJ was clearly the biggest culprit.  dawson had a better game and he only played 17 minutes.  he outscored thj 10-4 in those minutes.

much different game if thj does anything - on either end of the court.

A tough loss, but not

A tough loss, but not unexpected.  I am not inclined to say players gave up - MSU is a very good defensive club at home, and they basically shut down UM from inside and forced them to shoot a bunch of jumpers.  MSU did exactly what they needed to do, and this team (as currently constructed) is going to be worked over by larger teams.  It happens.

Still, the team is moving toward the postseason and will learn from this game.  Illinois and Nebraska are next, and those need to be wins before OSU comes to town.  But right now, considering how relatively young and inexperienced this team is at certain positions, I'm comfortable with the direction of the team.

That Was Not Fun to Watch

Just a Michigan St. domination. Eh, it happens though.  I'm still not sure how we managed to hang around the 10 pt. defecit mark the whole game though.  The fact that, once again, Michigan hung around enough that if they were to have hit a few crucial shots at crucial times, they could have made a run to get within ~5 pts (and chip away from there).  But once again they missed shots they needed to make to win, and THJ looked like sh*t.  It happens.  Give Izzo and MSU credit, they played a great game and were prepared/had a great gameplan (offensively and defensively).

Annoying game.  The terrible first-half effort really did us in.  I thought we competed better in the second half but just couldn't string together a run.  Every time we looked like we might have it in us, we'd miss a layup and then Green would drill a fadeaway at the other end.  Kudos to Green - he backed up his words with probably the best game he's ever played against Michigan.

Oh well - I'll take the season split.

Can we agree this was our worst overall effort of the year?

We didn't even come close in this one. The first 5 minutes dictated the pace of the game. We were sluggish on offense and nonchalant on defense. No intensity whatsover.

no way

you obviously didn't watch the iowa or virginia games?  state just poses a difficult match-up for us with all their size, and it showed with the rebounding edge.  it's a credit we won 3 in a row against them.

outside of a couple layups, i thought the D was pretty good overall.  green hit 3 or 4 15 ft turnarounds.  there's nothing you can do to stop that.  he missed those in past games.

Rebounding is about effort and hustle and I did not see either today.

Perspective

Winning road games in the B1G is tough.  Winning in Breslin in tough.  Winning against the #9 team, on the road, in Breslin, is really tough.  (wish we would have given it a better effort, but my head is held high)

Here are some teams from last

Here are some teams from last year who made the Sweet 16:

  1. Marquette - 20-14
  2. Richmond - 27-7 (A10 conference, though)
  3. VCU - 23-11
  4. FSU - 21-10

All of those teams had flaws at least as bad as UM's lack of size, yet all found a way to get hot for at least one weekend and beat a couple of teams.  So no, I'm not going to freak out about a tough loss against the #9 team in the country, on the road, in the Big 10.  This team isn't a FF squad, but this was a bad game, not some harbinger of a lost season.

I think this team is still making strides to show improvement for this program. I just do not feel that the team is playing well enough to cover up major flaws it has and they will be exposed in the tournament.

This game was painful to

This game was painful to watch. THJ is absolutely awful and forces so many unnecessary shots it is unreal. It is hard to bench him though just because we have no one else to step in. He is terrible on defense as well. Does anyone else seem him as being kind of like a cancer to this team? I honestly think Belien needs to not start him against Nebraska just to let him know that he isn't invincible and is capable of losing his starting spot. I don't care if he comes in right after the first T.V. timeout. I just think he needs a wake up call because he just seems like he only cares about getting points and when he doesn't get his touches/points he just loses all focus in the game. I am just frustrated watching this team right now. I figured we would lose to state but didn't think we would play this poorly.  I think the only players that ever play with any heart on this team are Burke, Novack, Morgan, and Stu and I don't even think Morgan and Stu are any good lol....It is going to be sad when Novack leaves because this team lacks any leadership outside of him. I think Burke will eventually take this roll but it is so hard for a young guy to be a leader. Just hope we can finish strong and make it into the tourney and hopefully make a sweet 16.

to MSU.  They had a better game-plan and executed much better than us today.  Greene was playing on half a leg and Appling seemed to have his head on straight after many games of playing poorly.

Congrats Sparty, Congrats.  Today is your turn in the sun.  Enjoy it while it lasts.  You certainly deserve all the credit and praise today.

Picked a bad time to have the worst game of his career. Don't know what has happened to his shot but the dude can't hit *anything*. Confidence? Technique? Focus? I dunno, I hope he can power through whatever the problem is in time for the tourney. Yeesh

THJ is now 7 for 40 from deep in his last 7 games. I don't know what to do about it though because I don't want Akunne out on the court...

 

Also, how do people feel about J Mo getting more touches? I feel like he is actually a decent post player offensively, but I don't think he gets the ball down there enough. Also, as some of you may have seen me post before, I want Jon back more and more every game, anybody know his status? I mean, I realize he is dressing and traveling now, but whats the plan for the future? It's a shame he can't redshirt, he only played in 4 games that meant anything at all.
