MSU basketball at 6-1

Tillman is losing us this game single handedly

Jesus Tillman is killing us

 

[MSUMatt28]

I think we've had 5 different chances in the second half to get it to a 1 possession game. In that time 3 missed Tillman layups, a dropped pass out of bounds wide open under the hoop, and now stuffed at the rim.

 

[MSUMatt28]

Tillman 3 for 15 from the field. Its not like Wisconsin has rim protectors either.

 

[gotime909]

I've never seen a big man have a worse shooting game

 

[SpartyNash]

Make Tillman walk back to EL. Dude is way too soft and plays below the rim. Learn to jump for gods sake

 

[MSUMatt28]

If you fall behind by 15 in the first half every time you play an ok team on the road, you get what you get, I guess.

Need to play Brown and Watts more, and less Henry. Have Tillman less involved in the offense.

Brown had the flu or something, I?m guessing that?s why he only played a couple of minutes

Didn?t see the game but from what I?ve read here and on espn, I miss Ward. One thing I noticed is they only drew 9 fouls and shot 4 FTs - looks like they weren?t very aggressive.

In the time I watched in the second half they got just about any shot they wanted, a lot of them in the paint. But did a horrible job of finishing. Tillman as mentioned, and Cassius missed a lot of shots going to the hoop too.

Is Wisconsin even ?OK? really? They have a losing record in B1G play, as does IU. Purdue is only team with a winning record in B1G play to beat us and they?re only 1 game above .500. Everybody talks about how tough it is to win on the road in the B1G and maybe it is but that doesn?t explain why we struggle mightily against mediocre teams. Is it more accurate to say sure, it?s tough to win on the road but it?s not so hard that a team that?s supposed to compete for a national title should lose to 3 roughly .500 teams - we?re obviously not nearly as good a team as we were hyped to be.

 

[gotime909]

The team has the same problem as most of the players. Consistency

 

[Spartanmack]

If that’s all or most of it then there’s hope - they just need to get hot at the right time.
