And the Nick Ward defenders think Doke is 7'2''.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:33 AM

Ommmmmmmg the MSU 247 board right now.

I'm in tears from laughter. 1,000 Dollar Bill comments and they think because Nick Ward can't stop Doke he's awful.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:31 AM

MSU shot 52% from three, took 35 fts, and lost. Jeeeez.

Real nice win over a veteran team. We lost some of the momentum in the 2nd half, but quite an impressive performance by our freshmen guards.

I really think all our guys having like a million fouls each at the half got in their head a bit defensively. This team can be LIGHTS OUT on D. MSU had ab-so-lute-ly nothin' in the first half when the refs weren't bailing them out.

Quentin "Big Game" Grimes • Nov 07, 2018 02:26 AM

We got a star here.

@BShark meanwhile the refs were as bad as the announcers.

Yep. Fouls kinda evened out but it was still absolutely horrible. Missed a lot of travels on MSU, felt like they got away with more. I'm biased, but still. Even whistle in the first half and who even knows what the score is. 2nd half KU wasn't as good on D I feel in part because guys were worried about how the game was being called.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:22 AM

Sooo, Vick no shows, Dedric 27% from the floor and coast to a win against the #10 team in the country? Dece.

We need Silvio

Not happening. Would be multiple farms.

But he could hit FT’s

Oh don't get me wrong, I'd love to have him.

If this goes to OT MSU wins.

Run that same play but with Dedric in the post, dammit...

Can Dedric seal like that? I dunno

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:14 AM

Wow. Doke earned that play.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:13 AM

Doke has been okay from the line, but this pressure is different... I don't like this.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:09 AM

Udoka shooting FT like Steve Nash

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:08 AM

Refs gifted MSU's last trip to the line for 2. KU should be up by 2 more.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:07 AM

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

I really don't like Michigan St much. Flopping, players whining about calls, coach whining about calls, intentional fouling.

Izzo has always been a whiner. Seriously. Every press conference after they lose, excuses and crying.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:06 AM

REF SHOW BITCHES

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:04 AM

Doty and Ballard knew better. :joy:

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 02:03 AM

Imagine being a hall of fame coach, and your game plan is play Doke straight up, 1 on 1 in the post.

I need to get this stuff out of the KU game thread.

Anyway

and all the worries about the offense seem to be unfounded.

I wouldn't go this far yet. Let's see how the offense looks against some shitty team that slows the game way down and packs the paint.

So, we look better vs MSU than Emp. St and Washburn. Works for me.

Typical Bill Self. I shouldn't have doubted I guess.

I guess it’s nice to be up 14 and I honestly don’t feel we played all that spectacular

This team might be a cheat code.

Is Dedric going to survive in the NBA? Seems with old man game you need to be huge too, a la Z-Bo

He's not an NBA guy, if he was he wouldn't be in Lawrence this year imo.

Halftime stats

Dedric Lawson: 7 and 11
Udoka Azubuike: 10 points
Quentin Grimes: 11 points and +18 when he's on the floor
KU fouls: Infinity

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 12:56 AM

Refs are trying to keep MSU in the game. MSU is like, nah, no thanks dawg.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 12:56 AM

Imagine scoring almost 50 points in a half against Izzo after those exhibitions. Tells you all you need to know about exhibitions.

High praise here...

Kansas post players develop the ability to score on post moves.

Good shot by Dedric again. His shots are just rolling off the rim tonight.

The only good for Michigan State has come from Cassius Winston's vision. If he's not throwing a great pass or KU is bailing Sparty out with a foul, they cannot do anything.

DanR said:

@BShark taking 11 foot shots 5 seconds into the possession?

Need him to be aggressive. The alternative is that he drifts like we saw at times in the exhibitions.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 12:46 AM

Is Washburn better than Michigan State? My column:

We need Grimes like this, this is what Self wants.

MSU Game Thread • Nov 07, 2018 12:43 AM

Iowa State will start Lindell Wigginton, Nick Weiler-Babb, Marial Shayok, Talen Horton-Tucker and Michael Jacobson in tonight's opener against Alabama State. Tipoff about 15 minutes away here at Hilton.

If Kansas played better transition D, Michigan State might have single-digit points right now.

Kevin isn't wrong...

Doke is unstoppable, except for the zebras.

Yep. Vitale can fuck off

He's definitely capable. Maybe too jacked right now still.

Just realized Grimes has two fouls. That sucks. He was balling

Self is usually good about letting guys play with two fouls, but lots of depth this year.
