I'm missing 2 pts somewhere. I'll assume Booker has them. If so...

Niang has 8. Percy has 2. Booker has 2 (or 0)...and 2 fouls. Concerning?

EDIT: Ejim had my missing 2 pts, meaning Book got shut out in the 1st half.

I don't think Fred is going to be happy at the half at all. We were up by 26, then took the foot off the gas pedal, started playing REALLY sloppy, and let them climb back into it and now it's only a 14 pt game.

Rebounding is terrible on our part. And we actually have a lot more size than they do, so it's all about effort right now on the boards.

Good things.... Georges Niang is the real deal. He can score so many ways and has great basketball instincts. He needs to get in better shape though. Walks down the court a lot and has asked out of the game at least once due to being tired. Naz Long also looks solid IMO. Not flashy or anything, but gets the job done.

Clyburn is really trying to get on track, but can't find the groove at all.

11 offensive rebounds for MSU... that is just unacceptable! That has to get better.

Its going to take time. Just like last year it took awhile. We were only winning non conference games last year by 10-15 points...well we ended up making the Tourney.

This is ridiculous. Now we will need to worry about just winning this game it looks like? Pathetic.

They've got 4 guys on the offensive boards and ISU has three on the defensive boards. Needless to say, without a dominant rebounder like Royce, it isn't working so well for us. Guards gotta get in there and help. If they can get boards they should be able to get out and run.

Anyone think the players don't even want to play this game? It is pointless. We already played Nebraska.
