No calls but we shot 34 free throws. Got it.We were not out toughed..just didn't get any calls...there could have been a foul called on msu on every possession we had. That crew sucks..how is a flagrant 2 not originally called? With that said we make free throws and we still win..
I thought Trent was OKWas anybody not a liability tonight?
And seemed that they made every oneWe didn't stop the floater all night.
I hate to be that guy but it sure seems like the B1G wanted to make sure Michigan State had a good chance at getting in. Refs were HORRENDOUS.
This and a lack of a jump shot are why he needs to play another year. He should model his game after AzubukeYes. Kofi has made huge progress with his post footwork and finishing (tonight mostly excepted), but he has not made any progress yet on passing out of the post. Needs to happen.
But he won't sooner than later.I know I'll get disagreement but at this point in time Curbelo is a liability .
I agree! Trent had 22 points and shot over 50%, 2 assists and 2 TO's. I call that a very good night, especially in a game this rough.I thought Trent was OK
This a million percent. There’s a reason Miller doesn’t ever score. He has short arms and plays below the rim. Long athletic guards eat him up. Langford basically blocked all of Miller with one hand and the ball never touched the ground.Sorry to be a broken record... we struggle against long athletic guards (most teams do). Langford... rebounds. Henry... runners. Watts... over the smaller guards. We just don't match up well.
In a word... DAMAGE!!!Not calling the flagrant on the guy who intentionally hit Kofi on the head was pretty bad. If it was reversed.......well, we have all seen what Kofi's arm landing on your noggin can do.
According to one of the announcers he’s a 70% free throw shooter. Think he got that confused with his FG percentage...I know he works his FTs but I’m surprised the coaches haven’t been able to fix Kofi’s FT shot. It’s just not smooth. When he’s tired or frustrated it shows more. I can almost always tell if he’s going to make it just watching the way he shot it. Feet are too wide IMO and there’s a hitch before he releases. He’s never going to 80+% but could easily be 70-75.
I think that’s a little unfair. We just got done winning 7 in a row. That’s pretty consistent. Now we have one bad game and we are back to being inconsistent??Consistently inconsistent is this teams norm.....frustrating
With all these ratings out there is there a volatility index? You can bet that Baylor and Gonzaga would hate to see us in their bracket because they might see the top Illinois team come in and beat them.I swear sometimes I think we're the worst top 10/5 team ever. No matter who we play I'm nervous because I know we could lose in an embarrassing fashion like tonight.
Yeah I've been perplexed by this all year. It doesn't seem like most college teams sub like that that early.I personally hate the early substitutions when starters are playing well. 5-0 game subs come in less then 3 minutes in and turn it over 2 possessions in a row, don’t get back on defense and just like that it’s 10-5 them and chance of opening up a good lead gone.
It was a joke and happened at a really bad time, but my vote goes to their goon committing felony assault on our All-American and it not even being a foul at first.Was the ball off the MSU player's knee and into the ref the worst call of the season so far? There have been some terrible calls but i cannot remember a worse one than this.
Northwestern and Nebraska were bad games, albeit wins.I think that’s a little unfair. We just got done winning 7 in a row. That’s pretty consistent. Now we have one bad game and we are back to being inconsistent??
Yea, his NBA stock would be a lot higher if he showed that he could pass out of a double...he doesn't even make an effort. If all you can do is dunk, you won't be in the NBA long if at all. We all know, or assume, he will leave, but his game still needs a lot of work to play at the next level.This and a lack of a jump shot are why he needs to play another year. He should model his game after Azubuke
