Leave it to the NCAA to turn Cameron North into Abject Generic Basketball Arena #4

Have I mentioned how much I hate the generic courts? They don't even look good.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I swear #13 from UConn takes an extra step every time he drives.

Appling travel. Appling misses rotation. Appling gets scored on not calling for help.

He's so highly overrated. Luckily for him Harris, Payne, and Dawson are not and Valentine is a good passer from the 3.

Actually he was destroying shit earlier this season, but he hasn't been the same since that wrist injury. It was the best I've ever seen him played in his MSU career.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

That was a travel.

What I affectionately call the J.J. Redick 3 Step Pull-up

 

[Buckethead]

Stop letting Valentine touch the ball

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Just put Harris on Napier. It's not that hard.

Edit: And Izzo does exactly that coming out of a timeout. Thank you!

 

[reKon]

Harris gonna fuck everything up for UCONN if he's going to be on fire this game. I love how we have different stars able to step up each game. From Dawson to Payne to Harris

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Now Sparty's are splashing and UConn is clanking

 

[Fjordson]

Harris so gud. If Appling can not be mediocre MSU will be unstoppable.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

3 pointer, challenge shot to force the miss, 3 pointer.

I want Harris on the Hawks so baaaaad.

 

[reKon]

too many commercials

 

[Grover Cleveland]

too many commercials

You know the NCAA's motto:

$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[iori9999]

Harris has that lottery ticket punched.. And Appling is not 100%

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Napier's such a ballhog.

Had 5 wide open in the corner. Pull up 3.

 

[Elfforkusu]

State is badass on the fast break.

You know the NCAA's motto:

$$$$$$$$$$$$

(but not for players, of course. Would ruin the purity of the game)

 

[inm8num2]

UConn dominating the interior on defense.

Gotta get Dawson involved down low.

 

[Servbot24]

(but not for players, of course. Would ruin the purity of the game)

damn straight it would

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Thomas looks and sounded like he popped a molly

 

[Mac the KNife]

UConn dominating the interior on defense.

Gotta get Dawson involved down low.

Gotta keep drawing them out with perimeter shooting. Interior will open.

 

[inm8num2]

Gotta keep drawing them out with perimeter shooting. Interior will open.

If UConn starts focusing more on Harris that could open it up for others.

I figured that UConn's height would be a problem. Payne and Dawson have been non-factors in the paint on offense.

MSU's frontcourt depth has been the primary weakness all year. Outside of Payne and Dawson, there just isn't much else. Costello showed some spark at times but he hasn't seen much action lately.

 

[sf2fanatic]

lol Kenny with the Space Jam handles

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

lol Kenny's the king at busting chops

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Napier gives no fucks

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Oh my god Appling has gone full retard.

EDIT: College players are pretty terrible at guarding the PnR.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Harris and Payne too strong

 

[DominoKid]

Payne is automatic.

 

[pxleyes]

Michigan State is in for a rude awakening when they meet UF's D (if this lead holds).

 

[Panda Rin]

easy mode for MSU from here on out.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Best Harbaugh!

 

[Brian Fellows]

Best Harbaugh!

They can both suck it.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Michigan State is in for a rude awakening when they meet UF's D (if this lead holds).

Nah. That's a 50/50 game. "the unofficial national championship" game, if it happens, since both teams are a cut above Wiscy/Mich/Kentucky.

Of course, anything can happen in single elimination, and I'd be surprised/impressed if MSU is able to put away UConn easily in front of this crowd.

They can both suck it.

Aw, come on. John is cool

 

[pxleyes]

Love the energy, but you can NOT miss easy layups.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

99 UConn champions

The fact that that 99 Duke team didn't win a title burns my soul to this day.

 

[Elfforkusu]

MSU is completely lost in the half court.

99 UConn champions

The fact that 99 Duke team didn't win a title burns my soul to this day.

Now imagine if that'd happened to your team twice... and you still hadn't won a NC.

</illini fan problems>

 

[Fjordson]

What the fuck. That's on Harris.

 

[Buckethead]

The fouls are bullshit.

 

[bucknuticus]

Hate above the head contact is auto flagrant. Stupidest rule in the book

 

[pxleyes]

Hard call on that. That was a serious downward swipe, but I'm not sure its a flagrant. And it isn't.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

wait that foul was on napier?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

These old ass geezers dramatizing every call are making this infinitely more entertaining.

God bless you Verne Lundquist

God bless you Bill Raftery

 

[reKon]

this is pathetic that we can't do anything inside

 

[Mrbob]

Refs gonna ref.

State offensive sets are awful.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Hate above the head contact is auto flagrant. Stupidest rule in the book

Manny says sorry but breaking Kramer's face was worth it.

 

[Laieon]

Michigan State was up by 10 points a little bit ago, I go watch something else, refresh, and now they're down by 2. What happened?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

HOW CAN YOU NOT CALL HELP?

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

Hate above the head contact is auto flagrant. Stupidest rule in the book

It can be waved off as incidental contact, but yeah, the current system hurts the game.

 

[DominoKid]

that should've at least been a foul on Harris

 

[Mac the KNife]

Cool another turnover.
