Run an in bounds play! Seriously??!!!
 



I've never been one to harp on this, honestly, but we really need to work on the inbounds play.

OMG did you guys know that Keith Appling is playing in this game? I feel privileged that my eyes are allowed to see such a sight.

I'll just say what's on everyone's minds, we should rename the Wooden Award for Keith Appling.
 

It would help if we both (1) ran an inbounds PLAY and (2) actually moved fast with intent to get open. Inbounds play looked awful against the likes of Lafayette, but they weren't athletic enough to cause much damage. This is not hard. Also, get someone taller to throw the ball in.
 


Izzo's a good coach but one of the biggest whiners in college basketball.
 




Defense is the only way we get back in this one. Defense leading to transition buckets. That has to be #1 focus right now, have to start rebounding better on the defensive end to spur that.
 







Nix should have fouled out in the second half on over the backs alone
 

We are just too clumsey with loose balls...Mbakwe too...Still a winnable game but we have to start to value the ball a lot more than we have.
 



As I feared, we aren't getting enough dribble penetration from Andre...Our offense is stagnant and reliant on offensive rebounds, which are starting to dry up.
 

Our half-court O still sucks and we don't have anyone that can shut down a big time pg.

He's easily the biggest whiner in the B10, but for some reason always gets a free pass. Maybe because he's such a short, little b*tch.

Compared to Bo, or Matta? I know we're emotional right now but this statement is just silly.
 

Instead of pushing the ball down court we just bring it down to carefully....geesh

Agree. The halfcourt offense is just too predictable right now. Michigan State knows what we're doing before we do it. Need to refocus on defense, get some turnovers and get out in transition. Right now, our offense is getting practically nothing.
 

Chance to get a lead again!! HUUUGE possession here! The tide is starting to turn!
 


Izzo knows it. Tide turned over the last 3-4 minutes. Gophers with all the momentum. Coming out of this TO and keeping it up will be CRUCIAL
