Kansas vs. Michigan State Game Thread

[schoonerwest]

It’s fitting that they put the KU game in the primetime slot with them being the #1 team in the country and all. They’re obviously the team most people want to watch tonight.

Here’s to an injury free game, no officials ruining the flow (@IUfanBorden) and a KU asswhipping.

74-66 KU

Kansas 83
MSU 58

Hoping MSU can keep it competitive and hoping for a clean game that isn't a free throw shooting contest

Haha I actually think we may need to hack-a-doka since he's like a 50% FT shooter right?

I pray for 50%---looks a little less ratchet this season

 

[speedfrk]

I think Kansas wins given the early season nature of the matchup.

 

[J. Rambo]

kansas has no chance. i hate to say it but it’s true. 95-55 sparty.

 

[SpartyRBS]

I’m not expecting a ton out of MSU. Lots of youth and not at the level of Kansas. MSU has the chance to develop over the year and be a good team but it’s going to take some time.

First game of the year, big stage, 2 top 10 teams, gonna be fun whether it's great ball or a pillow fight.

So glad the season is finally here.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

How much did adidas spend on the game? then I'll tell ya who's gonna win

 

[schoonerwest]

Whoa, I only recognize like 3 faces on the team after seeing them warmup on ESPN. Haha

Ward looks pretty streamlined

 

[Noahtogo24]

Goins can shoot threes??

 

[WojoRising]

Fun speed and flow for game 1!

 

[SpartanJD]

Goins can shoot threes??

Stroke doesn’t look too bad right?

2nd one was half way down

 

[MileHighSpartan]

Ward looks pretty streamlined

Still a blackhole when he gets the ball in the post though

 

[schoonerwest]

Grimes looking good. I really liked the way he used his body on the defender for that layup. Seems like most of KU’s young guards have struggled with that for years now.

 

[ravenman10]

Teams will not win by playing iso in the post against Kansas. They will need to run all day and hit 3’s. They are just too big inside.

 

[Big_C_KU]

Reminds me of an old Bill Self team. Pounding it inside and giving up open 3s. Hopefully MSU doesn't shoot at a 75% clip.

 

[KYtotheCore]

Azibuike has really trimmed up.

 

[Big_C_KU]

Getting back on D definitely a concern. MSU best offense is beating KU down the court.

 

[WojoRising]

2 quick fouls on Dolph Lundgren

 

[SpartanJD]

6 fouls to 0 wut

 

[Big_C_KU]

MSU owning the whistle early.

 

[ravenman10]

But Kansas gets all the calls!!!

 

[SpartanJD]

Yo MSU guards...stop passing to Ward when he’s in a sprint thanks

 

[J. Rambo]

grimes is doing work so far.

 

[MileHighSpartan]

Yikes, getting sloppy. Grimes on fire

 

[toonces11]

Dickie v is atrocious.

 

[ravenman10]

Man this is when brining in desousa would crush teams. Such a drop off on the bench after him.

 

[Big_C_KU]

MSU isn't fouling. But they've called a good amount of ticky-tack fouls on KU.

 

[MileHighSpartan]

Kansas getting multiple possessions on these long rebounds

 

[MileHighSpartan]

Missing FT come on

 

[Mgkcbb]

MSU is so bad defensively. Basically have no shot at winning because they cant even pretend to defend. Langford and Mcquaid are lowmajor players. Goins shouldn't get any minutes.


Kansas may win by 40.

 

[Noahtogo24]

Both teams not looking good on free throws...

 

[Big_C_KU]

Let them play. They've called a ridiculous of touch fouls. Just called another touch foul on MSU.

 

[5thGenJayhawk]

Really like McCormacks confidence. He's gonna be a beast next year, maybe a little bit this year too.

Yup...too bad we won't see it.
