Official: SMU vs. Midwestern St. Thread

[tristatecoog]

9 boards and 9 blocks?

[Mustangs_Maroons]

Love Ben Moore's contribution on the boards but can this kid make a freaking layup? Soooo frustrating. Dunk the damn ball...same for YM. Our bigs are too soft. MK is not but he's just not in game shape yet.

Pre game mk missed a lot of his warm up shots,walked around ,appeared disinterested...I don't know much about the technical stuff,but I expected a lot more from him...post game Larry expressed himself as I would expect...poor play,etc...larry was happy with the crowd.

Great shot there and the crowd is absolutely silent. Need some type of video before the game differentiating the golf clap from actual applause and cheering. Something funny that makes the point that you are expected to be loud and part of that home court advantage. How do we get that shot, force MWS to call their last TO, and their coach doesn't have to even raise his voice during the TO because no one is making noise?!?

Can't do it before the game, no one shows up early.

And good lord, people, clap for the fight song like EVERY OTHER FAN BASE IN EXISTENCE

Wondering when the E. Mudiay talk is gonna stop. He's not here the team has moved on. Will someone send the annoucers the memo.ijs

All of the same problems we have had all season are still in full force.

The defense is really good and allowing us to win, but somebody who shouldn't beat us is going to shoot lights out and win if we don't clean things up on the offensive end.

We have to have the worst shooting percentage inside five feet in the nation by a mile.

Is there a blown layup stat? We might have set a record tonight.

Man all looked horrible. Ben is soft as can be, sterling is slow, Keith hit some big threes but contributed nothing else, Ben e still not putting it together, yanick went 3-9 against a midget front court, nice Moore played well tho

[Stallion]

It is amazing how well we get the ball to our bigs down low and they can't finish. If you remember last year Ben Moore was hitting almost 70% from the field about 10 games in. This year the ball will roll all around the rim and drop out. So frustrating because he so aggressive (13 rebounds) and makes the team better in so many way. We got to get the ball to drop down low

[GiddyUp]

We played asleep and they hustled all game. Let them drive in the lane almost every possession. poor ball movement and turnovers. Im shocked that LB doesnt do something for them to play smarter by now. 20 TOs against this opponent??

not to mention they drop the ball down low and dribble.. Certainly have missed a s-load of layups so far this season

Not an excuse but I will say that Midwestern St earned some respect from me tonite. They were poised and definitely not intimidated like a team that has made 6 straight NCAA Division 2 appearances. Stepped up to a bigger stage tonite and despite a lackadasickle start SMU was actually pretty aggressive for the final 10 minutes. I had no problem with SMU's energy level down the stretch especially from B.Moore, Sterling Brown, Frazier and Moreria we just could execute down low

Non conference is over, and the turnover problem is still terrible.

MSU was ready to play and brought it for 40 minutes. Very impressive.

When players are trying to get in shape after a long layup, the legs go and the energy goes. It won't come back until he is fit again.

This type of thing happens in soccer a lot - first game back from injury, you are fresh and have a huge impact in limited minutes. Then you go through some horrible games until your fitness comes back and you start to ramp up again.

On the broadcast, they said MK indicated he would be back to 100% mid-conference. They also said he hadn't practiced for several weeks because of his focus on school. So, I would expect more sub-par games from him until he gets his legs under him in a month.
