    Tom said the team didn't respect the game today.

    And now the mood is very "somber" in the locker room. Izzo is NOT happy with their performance today.

  • Looking back on it, that was an extremely disappointing game. Awful FT shooting, awful shooting, poor decisions, TO's. You have to be able to beat satellite campuses harder than this.

    Thornton: 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists, and only 1 turnover.

    Who saw that coming?

    HUGE PROPS TO AUSTIN THORNTON! WOO HOO!

    I'm not going to read too much into this game. Second game in three days. Took care of business and now it's time to move on. One thing though is Dawson is a turnover machine. Love his motor, but he needs to slow down on offense and let the game come to him.

  • Yeah, besides Thornton finally getting on the board, there was very little positive to take from this one. Offensive rebounding was not what it should have been against a team like this. Defensive rebounding was suspect. Hustle was lacking. Shooting was atrocious. Turnovers were far too common, especially the unforced ones. Nobody really got in sync. Only thing halfway decent was the defense and that may just have been because ALR generally sucked.

    Hopefully they look much better Wednesday evening.

    Mother FUCKER if Byrd would've hit ONE of his freaking 3's MSU would've covered and I would've won my parlay.

    Also, that fucking floater at the end by UALR at the end, he could shoot that 10 more times and make it maybe once. I hate CBB betting so much.

    Then don't do it...

    It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

    wait a minute. yes, Dawson had 2 TO's but so did Keith and Alex and Travis. And Draymond had 3. (so stop piling on Dawson)

  • Just got back from Breslin.

    My observations, which I'm sure have already been touched upon in this thread:

    One of the ugliest 22-point wins I have ever witnessed. Bad shooting, missed open looks, turnovers galore, and atrocious free throw shooting. The terrible FT shooting is a real concern, and NEEDS to be tightened up.

    Don't know what any positives would be. Perhaps the play of Thornton--he had an excellent game and really hustled and looked more confident than I've ever seen him. Trice continues to look good, and Appling had a nice second half. Otherwise, ICK!!

    I was speaking in an overall sense. He is second on the team in turnovers.What somebody else does has no bearing on how I evaluate his play. Hey, I love the kid's game, I'm just pointing out an area of needed improvement.

    This is true. Outside of extending his shooting range, Dawson's ball handling is one of the main areas he needs to improve. While he is probably the most effective slasher on the team, he struggles to take his man off the dribble.
