Game thread.

A win will be a miracle. Petticoats is here but in street clothes and boot.

 

[ScarletteK80]

So that brings us down to 7 bodies, not that we stood a chance.

 

[Brisket and Bourbon]

Next years 5* and other recruits can’t get on campus fast enough. The key though is the portal…

 

[hoquat63]

Not bad first Q. 18-22, MSU hits lucky three pointer at buzzer ray acually ahead by 1 with minute to go.
Wow - just announce them at 3 pointer at buzzer was late. Only 18-19

 

[hoquat63]

2 MSU starters with 2 fouls

 

[ScarletteK80]

18-19 MSU end of 1st.

 

[hoquat63]

RU foul trouble
Thompson 3,
Huerter, Brown, Bates 2 each

 

[hoquat63]

35-42 half

 

[ScarletteK80]

16 for Destiny.

 

[hoquat63]

Adams having good game 16 points, 6 rebounds and I don’t think she has any of our 9 to
MSU only 1/8 free throws but64% shooting and 50% from 3
Outrebounding MAU 16-13

 

[hoquat63]

Hopefully the ladies don’t wear down or foul out second half.

8 counting Brandt

 

[ScarletteK80]

8 counting Brandt

I know Brandt is on bench, but it would be her 1st minutes of the year I believe. I could be wrong.

 

[RUcrazee]

Coach needs to emphasize to them to stop reaching, period! 99% of the time is ends up being a foul. The other 1 % is when the refs missed it.

Also, ......can we stop trying to make that lob pass into the post from straight on at the top of the key. The worst angle to make an entry pass like that.

 

[hoquat63]

I know Brandt is on bench, but it would be her 1st minutes of the year I believe. I could be wrong.

I think Brandt has been in at least once, but not often and not Big Ten game

 

[hoquat63]

Just jinxed Adams, turnover

 

[RUcrazee]

Why does everyone look scared to shoot the ball??

 

[RUcrazee]

Antonia has got to be more of a threat.

 

[hoquat63]

I think Brandt has been in at least once, but not often and not Big Ten game

Had 2 points against LaSalle, played but did not score Wagner

 

[hoquat63]

Antonia has got to be more of a threat.

Yes very hesitant

 

[RUcrazee]

Too many bodies in the paint for MSU. We need to hit some open threes to open it back up for our bigs.

 

[hoquat63]

Brown picks up 4th foul

 

[hoquat63]

So does Thompson

 

[hoquat63]

Adams gets T

 

[hoquat63]

3rd Q story, too many turnovers, MSU started making free throws
46-67

 

[RUcrazee]

Seems like we missed the adjustment. They converge on our bigs when the ball is entered and they are missing some highly contested layup attempts .... when maybe they should be kicking it back out to a spot up three pt shot.

 

[hoquat63]

Brown fouls out

 

[hoquat63]

Final 64-82
Adams 28. & 10.

Antonia has got to be more of a threat.

Agree. The question is why . She had 5 assists in the first quarter. and than gets moved off the point . We were making a come back and down by 2 at that point .

 

[RUBOB72]

How many years does Adams have left to play?

 

[hoquat63]

I think 2

 

[RUBOB72]

Then if it is 2 we had better make sure she doesn’t going into the portal.

 

[hoquat63]

Just checked , I was wrong. She played two years at NC so this is her third year. One left

 

[RUBOB72]

Same… portal is possible.

 

[RUBOB72]

This seems to be WBB Destiny at this point. How many former Stringer players on Washington ‘s staff? To be shorthanded for 2 and could be 3 years after this season is where Hobbs needs to step it up.For Alumni and fans it is unacceptable what has happened to this once great program.

 

[RULoyal]

3rd Q story, too many turnovers, MSU started making free throws
46-67

We are 300th out of 348 in TOs/game with 18.6

 

[eso1989]

Just checked , I was wrong. She played two years at NC so this is her third year. One left

Maybe an extra Covid year?

Since she came home to play, I don’t see her going to the portal again. (Fingers crossed)
