Official first-half thread for NU vs. MSU

[lou v]

To me, this is going to come down to NU's shooting (duh), and which MSU team shows up -- the Spartans that lost three in a row, including to Wisconsin and Nebraska, or the team that beat Maryland this weekend.

Northwestern has zero points and rebounds at the first media timeout, while MSU has three offensive boards already. 7-0 Spartans

Early on the basketball team's offense is emulating that of the football team.

Looks like Demps is a little to tired to go after a loose ball right at his feet. CC not happy. If Taphorn can't hit the he should sit.

Not going to beat much of anybody in the Big 10 if we don't hit 3's...

No kidding. NU is now 2-9 from distance. MSU is 5-6.

Make that 7-8 for 3's now.

Our offense looks horrible.

turds. all we do is lay turds at home.

No point in watching if we brick 4 out of every 5 shots. Minnesota was the last game we looked good offensively -- this would be 5 clunkers in a row, right? That, sadly, is called a trend.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Valentine just hit an amazing 3 point shot several feet behind the line. The Spartans are killing us with their 3 point shooting in this game.

I'll check back in mid-2nd half, can't watch this horrible offensive basketball

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

6-1/2 minutes w/o a field goal. 10 straight missed shots. Now down by 20. Pretty bad. Switching to the Oregon-Arizona game.
