MBB: Dayton Game Thread..

Dayton -3. Big game for MSU and Howland, IMO.

Let see it, boys.

 

[57stratdawg]

Lazy pass from Molinar. But, he's got out first two buckets.

5-3 MSU early.

 

[Seinfeld]

Our free throw struggles continue...

As usual, great effort defensively and on the glass though

 

[Seinfeld]

Watching Ado around the rim makes me want to do bad things

 

[57stratdawg]

Not getting much better. 2-6 so far. Missing some shots around the basket too.

We're bullying them on the glass though.

 

[DoomSlayer]

I would like to see a better angle on that goaltending call.

 

[57stratdawg]

Nice pass from D to T Smith.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

So far can’t throw it in the ocean from the beach.

 

[The Fatboy]

I'm not sure what game yall are watching. They look good so far.

 

[Seinfeld]

90% sure it was clean. It was a little unusual because the ball was in the air so long after one of those underhand scoop shots, but I’m about certain it wasn’t coming down yet. Don’t think it had hit the glass either

 

[hailstate19]

Is this team tourney bound? Or is it too early to tell...

 

[DoomSlayer]

Lol at this Scrooged discussion by the announcers. I love that movie.

 

[57stratdawg]

Post from 3! Good looking shot.

 

[57stratdawg]

Heat check! TWO OF EM!

 

[MSUDC11]

I had zero expectations for Quinten Post but he may actually end up being a nice weapon for us.

 

[DoomSlayer]

It was sloppy at times but overall I was impressed by that first half.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

I like him. I believe he's 3-9 now from 3. One thing I *think* I've noticed is that we've gotten some offensive rebounds and put backs on the 3s he misses, so that may be why Howland is giving him to leeway on 3s. Tough to deal with a 7 footer who's making shots like that. He's also less spastic than Ado, which is nice

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We are improving especially with scoring and defense.

Gotta fix the free throws fast.

 

[AlCoDog]

Obviously he read and was inspired by the Luka Garza thread here earlier.

 

[57stratdawg]

Dayton with an 8-0 run. 1 point game.

Dayon is rebounding much better the last 10 game minutes or so.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

No fouls on Dayton? Wow.

 

[57stratdawg]

Stewart from 3! Big. We needed that. MSU up 2.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Then a charge?

 

[Seinfeld]

Finally some good energy on defense as well. We needed something to happen

 

[57stratdawg]

Our freshman PG is still figuring things out.

 

[57stratdawg]

We have missed so many shots at the rim.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

How the 17 can we miss so many point blank shots?

Nevermind. We can't hit a 17ing free throw.

Still 6 fouls to 2.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Our freshman PG is still figuring things out.

Maybe he will figure it out in a couple of years....

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

5-13 from FT line so far...

 

[Seinfeld]

Massive flop, but you knew the ref was itching to blow the whistle

 

[57stratdawg]

Ugly turnover from Smith with 3 minutes to go.

 

[Seinfeld]

Swallow your whistle, ref. Late, minimal contact on that 3, and dude kicked his leg out to draw it too. Another painful call going against us in crunch time

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

What a disaster

 

[DoomSlayer]

Disastrous sequence there.

 

[57stratdawg]

Molinar! Should have been an and-1

 

[DoomSlayer]

Hell yeah baby!!!

 

[The Fatboy]

We should be shooting fts rn

 

[MSUDC11]

My gosh the officiating in the last 10 seconds of regulation.

 

[Seinfeld]

Nice job Molinar, but 17 these refs. In the last 2:30, they gift Dayton a weak Ado “charge”, 3 free throws after a their shooter kicks his leg out, and then they completely miss the kick ball on Stewart’s turnover. Hope we can overcome them in OT

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Stewart is a beast.
