[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1177950, member: 10336"] A light went on for me last night as I was watching MSU extend a 3 point load to somewhere around 25 in the first half. Other than MH, we're essentially playing subs, we all know that. The issue is, every other team has to play their subs at some point as well, and even when it's our second string going up against the other teams second string, we're getting owned, especially on the defensive end of the court. The short explanation is that while JG might be bringing in first line guys that can compete in the B1G, the second line guys can't. It's going to take several more years of exceptional recruiting to correct that. On the brighter note, I appreciated the hustle I saw in the first half. If shots had dropped it may have been a closer game (or Izzo may have left his top guys in longer). Shooting 29% for FG and 13% from 3 isn't going to keep it close against the #5 team in the country, especially with our defensive limitations. [/QUOTE]
