Slow start for both teams, but Birds dig themselves a hole in 2nd quarter with lack of defensive challenges to MSU shooters and poor shot selection on the other end. com’on birds!
MSU hitting the 3, but ISU is not guarding them. Half our turnovers are throwing to the wrong team. They are running our offense better than we are. Can only image what KG will be saying at half time.
They let the press do what its design to do, rush them- while I’m all for taking the ball to basket when you beat the press, they are not a team that shoots well on the move. Have to be able to challenge those 3 point shooters and IMO, Birds are playing guards that aren’t quick enough nor have the size to close and challenge- playing 2 of them at same time just creates too many open set-shots. going to be tough to make up points. Can’t TO the ball & need to take good shots if they want to get back in
