Cotton District vs Mill Avenue Game Thread

[57stratdawg]

MSU -4.5, over / under 149

 

[57stratdawg]

Nick is starting.

Q with a wideopen look to start, but doesn’t fall.

 

[57stratdawg]

0-3 from deep to start.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

I don't understand why our offensive gamelan is to play to our weakness.

 

[57stratdawg]

This hasn’t been pretty on offense for either side.

 

[Sickdawg]

We’re playing great defense, if we were hitting even a quarter of our open looks we’d have a double digit lead

 

[57stratdawg]

Q with a 3. 9-0 run for MSU. 11-6.

Defense has been solid so far. Especially from the bigs.

 

[57stratdawg]

Nice give and go from Ado and Q. Not sure Ado makes that play last year.

Holman standing out there and jacking up a brick three ball every trip down the floor

We may win this game, but they are more physical and athletic here in the first half. Meanwhile, our fear of interior contact prevents from having much success.

 

[57stratdawg]

Nick called for initiating contact. ASU up.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Getting run out of gym...

 

[The Maroon Pug]

How is Nick called for that, but ASU's cockatoo point guard gets away with the same move 5 minutes ago?

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Nevermind. This may be a blowout loss. The wrong team was favored.

 

[57stratdawg]

1-12 from 3. ASU up by 12 closing in on halftime.

 

[KingBarkus]

Zero inside game, horrible shooting, abused on the glass, we look terrible.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Got a whole ‘nother half to play, but we are sucking at all phases right now.

 

[civildawg88]

I’m beginning to think we are overrated. Still can’t hit water from a boat

 

[AlCoDog]

Reggie Perry really lazy in the boards tonight. Getting abused.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Another 3 off the dribble for Peters. Jesus Christ how many does he have to miss!?!?!

 

[AlCoDog]

We are lazy as 17

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I can’t watch this ****. Terrible.

 

[57stratdawg]

Down 18. We don’t look very interested in playing basketball tonight. We’re not playing very hard. Not going after rebounds.

 

[civildawg88]

At least I don’t have to stay up for this now

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Got a whole ‘nother half to play, but we are sucking at all phases right now.

Is this the good news or the bad news?

 

[57stratdawg]

10-0 run for MSU to start 2H. Lead down to 5.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Followed by an 8-0 run by ASU

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Looks like a case of the runs. Kind of ****** if you ask me.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

We damn sure arnt getting the members bounce on our contested layups.

 

[KingBarkus]

Somebody take out Dort. Miss Stapleton in that regard.

 

[bulldogbaja]

I obviously don't understand basketball fouls*

 

[KingBarkus]

Howland, how many times are we going to set that illegal screen? #coaching

 

[Drewbowski]

57-53 Sun Devils now. Howland Hounds made a game of it.

 

[57stratdawg]

Big swing there. Nick stuffed on offense, ASU hits a fade away 2. Would have cut it to 2, instead back to 6.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Holmans played a monster game.

 

[fishwater99]

Left him open for 3. Damn

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

From the 2:41 mark to the :18 mark, we scored 2 points. Tied it at 65 then allowed an open 3 to seal it, though it did take a couple of free pitches to close it out. And they got a meaningless 2 at the end.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Q ran out of gas and took himself out with game on the line.

 

[NWADog]

First 3 games were kinda cake walks where we didn’t really have to turn it on all the way to win a close game. We kinda coasted in the first half and spotted them a 15 point lead (18 at one point). Came out in the second half and played close to our potential and looked like a different, more aggressive team and we fought back and had a chance at the end to win it. It was a good learning experience and this game will help us in the long run. Unfortunate we couldn’t learn this lesson with a win in the books!

Holman is the real deal.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

He also missed on a potential flop and cost us a chance for a stop. Definitely not what you want from your supposed leader but that’s for another thread.
