Mo St game thread

[TU1NNJ]

Missed the start we are down 11-6

 

[TU 1978]

McWright should never see the floor. Why is he in the game?

 

[TU1NNJ]

O-fer on the 3s for us.

 

[TU1NNJ]

8 FTs to 2. Down 18-10

 

[I.I.]

Not clicking yet. Down 18-10. But MSU seems beatable.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Wrong guys shooting the 3s so far. Probably who Missouri State wants to see shoot for TU.

 

[TU 1978]

Reed and McWright need to have a seat.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Smikle and Reed 2 fouls easch

 

[TU1NNJ]

Shooting 25% and 0% from 3

 

[TUcandoit]

We keep missing 2 foot shots!

 

[TU1NNJ]

Some of our misses are way off. Hopefully we start to hit some.

 

[I.I.]

Got to play the Triplets with Barnes and Carrington. Quit trying everything else.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Our defense is keeping it close while we struggle to make any shots on offense.

I am sure shots will start falling but it needs to be soon before the score gets out of hand.

 

[mcane]

Berhend and Reed throwing up horrible open 3s
Where is the coaching to teach that they need to pass
Horrible effort so far
Playing scared?

 

[cmullinsTU]

Got to play the Triplets with Barnes and Carrington.

Agreed. This is a great game to be forced to play small ball. Missouri St doesn’t have any bigs to make us pay with Barnes at the 5.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

5-22 from the field so far. At least our defense is respectable.

 

[I.I.]

Behrend losing the game.

 

[I.I.]

Behrend loses his man missing badly.

 

[mcane]

Screw this
Another 3 from behrend

 

[I.I.]

Behrend loses man for the third time. Quit experimenting Eric.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Behrend is not a D1 player. He can’t keep his man in front of him and isn’t strong enough against bigs.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Finally a 3

 

[I.I.]

Lost at least 6-8 points with that substituting. We are still a better team if Odom can get us going.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Finally a 3

Finally a player who should be shooting a 3!

 

[nevadanatural]

One thing I’ve noticed about this team, they keep their heads about them. Something goes wrong they don’t have a fit, they keep on playing. I would like to see the fans adopt the same approach.

 

[drboobay]

Meed to make some shots and we can get through this.

 

[astonmartin708]

McWright should not play minutes where we are behind in score.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Very strong defense, especially since Amadi came in at the 5. Allowed us to get back in the game.

Need to get offense going in the 2nd half.

 

[I.I.]

One thing I’ve noticed about this team, they keep their heads about them. Something goes wrong they don’t have a fit, they keep on playing. I would like to see the fans adopt the same approach.

I don’t think we have many fans there.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

That wasn’t a flagrant foul!

 

[cmullinsTU]

I’m not even sure Barnes committed a foul there but absolutely no way it was a flagrant foul.

I am really liking Amadi! I hope he can stay healthy. He hits the ground a lot

 

[TU 1978]

If that was a flagrant foul on us then Mo St just committed one.

 

[I.I.]

Amadi coming alive.

 

[mcane]

Much better last 7 minutes
Defensive intensity
Better shooting

 

[I.I.]

Didn’t play well. No Willis but still in game. Behrend needs play when we have big lead. Amadi and Barnes are big enough against MSU. Amadi one of nations FG% leaders.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Glad we added Smikle, Carrington, Amadi, and Odom. Those 4 are what kept us in the half. They’ve got 15 of our 20 boards, 18 of 32 points, and 5 of 6 assists.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

The reason for this rotation is because we have so many with 2 fouls. Pay attention.

 

[I.I.]

Willis, Odom, Archie, Barnes and either Reed, Smikle, Amadi, or Carrington. But he will probably use only two of the triplets at a time till the end.

 

[I.I.]

I do like that Willis, Amadi, and Carrington can rebound. We had none of them last year.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Willis, Odom, Archie, Barnes and either Reed, Smikle, Amadi, or Carrington. But he will probably use only two of the triplets at a time till the end.

Won't want to chance it as much with all three in foul trouble at the moment. Triplets become twins.
