*** Official Southern Miss VS IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

THT at the game -- wonderful an NBA is still connected to the program.

To those of you saying this team might suck --

I know we look janky right now, but we looked bad against MVSU and NIU at times, too. The only "real" game was Oregon State, and we looked okay.

Michigan will tell us a lot more than this game will.

Did not think Solo would be our go to guy today but its a reality I'll take

 

[helechopper]

we need more D and crazy sharing of the ball + a few shots falling and this team is gonna be deadly.

I wish Conditt would unleash the beast. This team goes as far as he does.

A fourth-year junior? The most experienced player on the team and the one with the longest tenure in the program? A guy who started two games in the NCAA tournament as a fresh? I do not see why that is such a bad reality... Solomon is good.

The guy is doing yeoman's work out there on the block on defense, on boxing out, on defending the pick-and-roll, and manufacturing a few shots for himself.

Referencing MVSU? It’s that bad?

His little jumper is at least something.

I’d add it seems his shot has improved quite a bit

I don't think that no look pass fooled anyone Hali

 

[pulse]

Good finish

 

[CysRage]

So.. Since this game is part of the Battle 4 Atlantis, if we lose does Southern Miss take our spot in the Bahamas?

Unable to watch but you’ve gotta be happy giving up 20 in a half, right? Looks like we’re shooting a decent rate but not much for points. Is USM slowing the tempo to snail’s pace?

 

[Hoggins]

Bolton is now 2 for 17 from 3 through 3.5 games. Ok.....

 

[helechopper]

Up by 13 at the break.

Let’s see if we come out and swamp these dudes second half.

 

[isualums]

Nixon is a huge liability on offense. Does not reverse the ball, shots too early in the shot clock, does not pass the ball inside to the post.

 

[madguy30]

This team has some players that I'm really curious to see where they are come January.

Repeating the gushing over Grill but he is an instinctual dude.

But oddly has shooting form that looks like he's practiced shooting...which I can't say for others.

Looking at the boxscore, MJ's not a factor. Is he not not on the floor much in the 1st half?

They got quite a few offensive rbds (8) and they play at a UNI pace.

And some of that 20 on OReb.
We’re competing, just lack shooting. With that in mind,?we need to perfect our ball-screen defense and rebounding.

He played 15 mins. Just wasn’t very active on either end.
