So what’s formula for beating MSU??

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Value the ball, limit unforced turnovers

Hit open shots
Make at least 70% of FTs

Rebound, box out, that means you Eugene

Pray for a miracle

Need to go inside early and have success inside so that it frees up Geo, otherwise they’ll double pressure him all night. I’d play doorson and Myles in the first 8ish minutes

In the department of what we can control..........close out on the 3 point line.

Big focus of Pikiell practices.

Interesting take. I like EO away from basketball tonight. Pull their best asset rebounders out. Should be exciting to see what the game plan is.

So my halftime assessment based on what I thought would be the key...

Foul trouble forced us to slow it down last 8 minutes.

Our defense is good as people wanted but they have some guys who can shoot on the move. Makes it hard no matter how good defense is

Kiss seems to feed off Bakers movement. Much more gun shy when Baker is out. I think Baker moves the defense more which Ives Kiss just that little space he likes.

Would still like to see us push a little more with our #1 team on the floor, but Thiam has to hit a couple shots
