They certainly play a different level of defense than what occurred under Fran

They need to learn how to play through contact and rebound. Quite a soft performance tonight.

I have it but this fucking app sucks so bad. Accidentally hit the back button? No game for you for awhile.

I'm kidding / trolling with this, but it's not a binary choice. You can think this style of play sucks to watch while also thinking Fran's style sucks to watch. Going to be ugly against teams with size when shots not going.

They had more offensive rebounds than we had defensive rebounds.

Gonna need to work on that.

Stirtz had 14 points. No one else had more than 7.

They rebounded like shit and shot poorly. Both things are fixable to some extent. MSU, Michigan and Purdue are obviously terrible matchups, but they can’t get pushed off spots and play tentative like that.

I’m anxious to see what McCollum might have up his sleeve for this one. Breslin is a different animal, especially when they’re really good as they appear to be.

I also wonder when’s the last time he was on the losing end of a blowout.

Oops!! Time to dial it back a bit Feltch. I still think this team ends up on the right side of the bubble but please take McCollum's cock out of your mouth. TIA!!!

Hausen comes in, scores 7 points, gets subbed out, doesn’t play again.

I don't think most teams will be patient enough to consistently throw it in the post like MSU did. They were a terrible matchup with their 2 bigs and the rest of their team being better. Didn't help that everyone on Iowa played like shit but maybe not a bad game to lay a turd in.

I actually was asking the blowout question because I thought it was a possibility

Yeah, if you are going to lay a turd, might as well be early in the season against a very good opponent

I would like to know what that is about. If he’s hurt then it’s whatever but if he’s not Ben needs to find some minutes for him.

How was that only a 19 point loss. They were consistently one run away from making it a game, which is amazing they couldn't muster one run.

Not going to get too worked up on this one as I think MSU is really good but the deficiencies all surfaced - lack of size, lack of offensive shot creators, and lack of perimeter shooting all were very present

They beat North Carolina by 16 and Kentucky by 17 on neutral courts.

Maybe not playing well and losing by 19 at their place isn't so bad

Yea but it’s the WAY they lost.

Fears and Carr are studs, and the rest if that lineup are Izzo meatheads. The fucking thing sucks.

That really sucked. The talent level in the big ten at the top is crazy. We are 2nd or 3rd tier and still a good team.

He definitely gave the Hawks a spark but then got a little chucky with deep ones after his first couple fell. You could tell he was one of the few not intimidated by that type of environment.

Probably because he’s one of the few that has played serious minutes in a road game in front of more than 6500 people before.

Rebounding was tough. Our O was way too much 2 man ball screen with little movement and MSU steadily drove that farther from the 3 pt line. Glad to see them battle.

Stirtz recovered in the 2nd after a brutal 1st. We need to find a way to get easier shots. Points in the paint differential was embarrassing.

Hausen stepped up. Tate isn’t afraid to compete.

A 58 possession game is usually going to suck to watch, even if your team wins.

Annual post about how annoying Izzo and his bitching is. Refs need to T him up early so he’s not in their fucking ear every second that the game is in doubt.

With any luck we won't be playing them again this season. Or if we do, we should be a hell of a lot better

I'm very surprised at the lack of ball movement from this team and not just last night. Wasn't that supposed to be one of Ben's big things?

That and rebounding have been the two biggest disappointments so far.

He mentioned the offense in post game about how it’s been off since Ole Miss.
