Michigan St. Spartans at Minnesota Golden Gophers, Dec 31, 2008 11:00 AM CST
Game preview is down a couple posts. Here is the official game thread. I believe PJS is at the game and GN is at work, those of you with a TV need to keep me informed.
One question I have...does anybody think the 11:00 start time will have any affect on the game? Is it an advantage for us that we are at least home? I would think that being on the road and dealing with a weird tip off time could be an issue. Althought Mich St is used to playing in big games all over the country (at Texas, at Ford Field for UNC, etc) in different venus so it isn't likely to affect them too much.
Go Gophs...

I snuck out to a TV
rebounding and transition D are killing us

Well Theres the ball Game
We Looked Bad. But those Refs sure were Generous to Michigan State Quite a big today…..
refs had nothing to do with it
18 fouls on MSU and 15 on Minn
Michigan State played great defense, as our offense struggled all day. And they killed us on the boards we won’t win many games if we get outrebounded by 15+.

Just Couldnt Make Tournovers today
If you look at the Louisville win..we won because we were able to create Turnovers…Just couldnt do that today.
well
it is a long season and if that is the worst we play things will still be OK

Yup -- Rebounding killed us
That and the fact that the Gophers seemed to come out flat for the second half. I thought with the first half comeback, they would be ball hawking it all over the court and off the glass. Alas, that was not meant to be.
John Maynard
proof that halftime momentum is meaningless
didn’t Louisville end the half on a short run capped off by a dunk at the buzzer?

Ugh
Terrible second half. A lot of the problems tend to come from some of our lesser bench players. I cringe every time Joseph or Fatty Williams come on the court. They rarely make plays and their only contributions tend to be mistakes. Johnathan Williams is way outgunned in the Big Ten, he needs to spend some time in the weight room and on a treadmill.
The worst part of the loss is that we lost simply because we were out hustled. Mich. St. was always first to the floor for a loose ball, we had a hard time getting out to the perimeter to put a hand in their face even though they clearly could shoot, and not to mention we gave up 23 offensive rebounds.
