2024-25 Clown Team Thread

We had a rough 2nd half, and we played like shit with the iso ball. Still not concerned about this team, but we gotta finish game strong, especially in the second half on the road.
From what I’ve seen Self insists on playing Dickinson, Adams and Harris together especially in key moments. It’s a terrible lineup.
Harris is the least clutch pg for a 5th yr senior I’ve ever seen and KJ Adams is athletic but just not a good basketball player. The first half rotation vs Baylor was excellent and self completely abandoned that in the second half.
Fans are pissed that Bidunga didn’t play much in the 2nd half, but I’m guessing Self wanted someone with better ball handling skills to handle Baylor’s pressure.
The lineups and substitution patterns have been bizarre at times, but the bigger issue is the inconsistency in their focus/effort level. You never know what you’re going to get game to game or half to half.
Y’all need to kick Auburn’s ass and you’ll be good.
add Florida to the clown team list.
Meh maybe if we were at home. We've struggled biggly on the road in conf play so far. Shame most of our big games other than UT are all on the road.
I'll add that Mizzou was at home but we didn't get the memo of it being a big game until after we got punked lmao.
We are decent on the glass, but our bigs lack a lot of little things that keep them from being really solid. Wish we had Tyrese Samuel one more year.
There's always next week. Anything can happen week to week in this league.
MSU really isn't as good as their ranking indicates anyway though, imo. They haven't beaten anyone that's currently in the top 25. Schedule has been soft so far, but it won't be to finish out their conference schedule.
They have only played a couple ranked teams and if the refs didn’t just completely destroy Illinois, they lose that one too.
MSU is the poster child for teams that haven't played anyone. There are ACC teams with stronger conference resumes than MSU.
