A real struggle. Liddell is out with mono, not a lot of punch from this team.

Yikes, I didn't watch. Did CSU score a bunch of late points to make a blowout look close or did tOSU look THAT bad?

No, it was like a 3 to 5 pt game the entire time.

Ugh.

Oakland had a dude who reminded me of Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Along Came Polly.  Anything within half court was within range.  And he hit more of them than you'd expect...which was still a low percentage.  It resulted in some bad basketball and a game where you allow 90 points and still win by 20

Everyone has played with the guy who hits just enough bad shots that it gives him the confidence to keep taking them.  He’ll miss 4 in a row but when that fifth one falls he’s like, “See?  I can hit that.”

Ugh.

fwiw OSU pretty much had the lead the whole time.

He actually hit more than he should have.  I think they showed he was 10-12 against Oklahoma State, and I think he was still like 9-16 today.

They reminded me of Brad Underwood's first couple Illinois teams.  They'll hit some bad shots, create a bunch of turnovers, but give you a ton of run-outs and open shots.  MSU scored 109, won by 20, and didn't seem to play that well.  They just kind of let Oakland do their thing.

Im not sold on how this OOC slate prepped them. They played against a ton of zone, and Detroit and Oakland played as loose as AAU teams.

Yeah, if he’s shooting at that clip it might be hard to make the case he is taking bad shots.

UNI canceled their remaining OOC games, including UW this week. UW managed to get Loyola (Chicago) on the schedule for tomorrow.

UW has been pleasingly nimble on this front.

They are a mediocre team without Liddell. They have some talent, but they were getting destroyed on the boards. However, that freshman Key stepped up pretty well. He looked promising.
