Folding down the stretch.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

No inside will be a problem.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I did not think I was going to sweat and feel this nervous about the end of an exhibition game but here we are. Hard to ever just watch a game and not care about getting an L even in an exhibition lol.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

No inside will be a problem.

They aren't really focusing on that for some reason

 

[cwbytruckers]

This has been one heck of a game. ZZ would be all over that #2 and would be a battle of quickness.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

4 guards plus Aidoo/Awaka?

Could only imagine ZZ and Santi finding Gainey and Kinect for the open 3s

I want them to win but like Coach said this helps them find out way more than a week of practice. This is definitely a top 10 team.

 

[sportsnut624]

Big shot mashack

 

[Larkin]

JJJ looks very slow

 

[sportsnut624]

This is unbelievably good for this team. Playing in this kind of environment where the result doesn’t matter is fantastic. Will make going into wisconsin a little easier. These exhibitions that college basketball has started doing is great for the game

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Huge bucket

When MSU players started to get chippy and wanting to throw hands I got emotionally invested.

Having a true road game against a top 5 team that doesn't count is great. It is testing our emotional ability to respond to every shift of momentum MSU gets.

Kinda nice that the MSU fans showed out. This is helpful to some of these new guys getting to play under noise and pressure.

 

[GoVols1998Yeah!]

This is a treat! We're getting to see what we have on the road without two of our best, and it doesn't even count!

 

[turbovol]

No inside will be a problem.

For how many years have we said this? Pretty much every year...

And Michigan State//Izzo always has at least a couple of bangers. We never have bigs who bang.

 

[Larkin]

mashack's ft is a moon ball huh?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Coming up empty on that possession sucked. 5-point swing there. Let’s see if we can close.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Man we gotta finish at the rim

Well..if we win...can we then make it count?

 

[sportsnut624]

People will get on mashack for the bad shot but at some point someone other than him has to be willing to shoot a low shot clock shot

We recruit guards very well. Forwards, not so much. Schofield and Williams were diamonds in the rough. We haven’t gotten another like them since. Wonder why
