Can't even end the half with a decent miss and they could've scored.
Need a shutout in the second half.

Total horse$hit. What guys? Are you afraid of the logo on their effin' jersey? The WORST, I mean the WORST half I've seen this year. NOBODY could shoot from the outside. How many times is Tez going to go down the lane and get blocked? He's being selfish.

And I was hoping Ron's poor shooting last game was an anomaly. I was wrong. He looks like **** out there. Reading too much of his press clippings?

And don't get me started with FT shooting. All of them especially Myles and Tez should be ashamed of themselves. If I were coaching, I tell both of them, "If you don't make a least one of two FTY's I'm taking you out. Period!

Sparty has 14 TOs to 5 by RU....lmfao, normally that would indicate RU up double digits.

10-35 shooting for 28.6%
2-9 ft
0-8 from 3

down 8-3 in assists

Young has taken 13 shots already

Michigan State committed 14 turnovers in one half and leads by 6. How much worse can we be on offense? Young has got to pass the ball in this half. Move the ball. I'm not a huge fan of Geo's ball handling but he needs to get it more so Young doesn't go one on one on every play. Not sure what has gotten into Jacob today.

Refs get a thumbs up.
Our offense or lack their of gets shot into the sun.

this msu Team is not good. We have to capitalize off of 13+. TOs. Unacceptable.

Izzo too good a coach to not know we don't really have an inside game and has his D blanketing us on the perimeter. And he has the talent on the court to make it work. Very lucky Sparty was sloppy on t/o's and still not clicking on the offensive end yet.

Pike and company need to get their heads out of their a$$holes and play like they're capable of playing. This MSU team sucks. Worst team by Izzo in years. We need to play our kind of BB and we'll win this game.

He's selfish and out of control. Pike needs to talk to him NOW!

Michigan State can play better too so thats the issue, RU could get things going but they have set the tone and dug a whole for themselves right now

Just a thought on FTs. We're terrible from 15' so why not move back a foot or whatever makes you comfortable. Can't imagine us doing any worse. Maybe not MJ.

Young is the only player who can get a shot off inside the 3 point line without getting blocked and we are not only missing our 3s we are doing so badly. To me Geo has to step up and take some step back jumpers. RHJ just looks like he has no confidence right now

Can I say at least it was a well officiated half. There were a few plays Myles made that would have been fouls in other games. I ***** a LOT about refs. Not today. Let’s hope it continues
Agree and said earlier that they're letting Myles play - only 1 foul and he's been fairly aggressive on D. 6-6 fouls.

2 things

1) Myles needs to have some type of post presence. He’s regressed this year on that front. MSU has nobody that can guard him

2) Sparty doing an excellent job harassing us on the perimeter and not helping off their man. The drive is there but we’re just not finishing and playing sloppy. As bad as Mathis was in 1st half, he needs to play because he can get into the lane. Geo needs to step up as well and get into lane

I think this is it. No inside game. I think JY is trying to drive to the hoop because he doesn’t have an option inside and they are playing right on the perimeter. Problem is they are playing stifling D as he does that. How many blocks do they have?

I missed the first 13 minutes. What did Caleb do that has some of you complaining about him being in the game? I only saw the last 7 minutes but he had 3 steals and the 2 free throws during that time. He doesn’t look great that’s for sure but other than RH or JY nobody has more than one basket. Who should we be playing? Everyone looks like garbage.
