T is playing well right from the tip. Looks like Vic got their heads adjusted from the start.
Let's keep it going.

MSU vs Oregon Official Game Thread: Good defensive start.

Foul situation in our favor so far, that's big.
McCowan not getting punked again, great to see. Oregon on fire from 3 but still down early.

I really dispise that pony tailed little *****. We need to keep pushing and getting trips to the line.
Yep. She killed us the first meeting. Someone has to cover her out there.
Awfully nice of Oregon to host us for this playoff game, isn't it?

They can't keep this shooting pace up the entire game. if they do we are screwed because those are contested shots.
Their guards are just better than our defense. We’ve played them for almost 60 game minutes so far, and we’ve had no answer for them.
Making same mistakes our men did by trying to help down low when there is no need to and going under screens...
They would probably shoot even better if this wasn't on a neutral court.
I never expected to blow them out until maybe the 4th. IF we can keep getting fouls on their post players with T and getting trips to the free throw line, our depth can win out in the last quarter.
We've seen this before when we have played good times.

That’s right. At its core, NCAA tournament success in both men’s and women’s side boils down to guard / perimeter play. There’s is better than ours....gotta have AEH and Scott step up big time in the second half.
The fact that they have this much of an home court advantage for a playoff game is borderline criminal.
We have to make an adjustment for this screen and roll. Maybe even a zone.

They've both made shots. Biggest hole in our games is our guards that can't.
Danberry and Holmes inability to shoot the 3 lets opposing guards stay in the paint instead of guarding at the perimeter.

I hope we have weathered their best but they have a whole team of shooters. Trading 2’s for their 3’s makes me nervous. Need Big T to take over this game.
I don’t have a great feeling about this one. And this home court advantage is garbage.

We lost the last time because we let them grab a lead at the end. We have been through this kind of game before this season. I hope we pull through like we have before.
Unless someone pulls a run in the 3rd, it is going to come down to who keeps it together in the 4th.
We are at least avoiding fouls whereas they aren’t. Hopefully this makes the difference in the 4th
Somebody else will probably play in or near their home state next year. And the year after that and the year after that. They are the number 1 offense in the country. Guess who is number 2? State. They make 10 3 pointers per game. State averages 4 made. You have to make 3 more 2 pointers than them just to keep pace. We HAVE to get to the Free throw line and MAKE them.
You want to zone a team that’s shooting the 3 as well as they are? Good luck. I’d be fine with doing it as a change of pace for a few possessions, but we’re the type of team that you zone....not a team with their shooters. Besides, we’re gonna play man because that what Vic does and what he knows.
The pick & roll is as old a play as Abner Doubleday. They have an overall better team. It will be HEART that will have to get State over the Hump.
