Tip off at 2:00.

TV: Game is on Raycom, aka Lincoln Financial, aka Jefferson Pilot. Brando and Dean are doing the game.

Radio: CTSN & Sirius 123.

It would be big if Ben Hansbrough didn't play...pretty sure he is out. And some nut job was out in front of Coleman at 8:00 am trying to sell his tickets, in the snow. :biggrin2:

This team would be better off playing in 1982.

Four threes by MSU to start the game?

As usual, they get easy, open looks from the three point line while we are in zone. I have never understood why we cannot have any semblance of a perimeter defense while playing zone. Others can challenge shots, why not us?

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Playing zone, you've got to get out on the trey. Can't just rely on their missing...

Zone and perimieter defense dont generally go together, for any team.
