MSU @ Texas Tech 11/22

[glm38]

Disappointing to me as well. Texas Tech isn't that good but they do have some size. We didn't handle that well at all. They killed us inside and on the boards.

We do have a couple of studs in Marshall and Ruder. Need other guys to step up especially our bigs. Boone disappeared tonight and Tmac was a liability in the 2nd half.

Tere was a HUGE free throw disparity and we were out rebounded badly. It looks like the talent is there but just too soft around the basket.

What a pathetic day for the Valley across the board.

MSU should be a top three Valley team and they get blown out by a bad B12 team. Drake looks pathetic against Western Michigan. Indiana State LOOKS like they played like s#it against an Ivy League school, but I'm sure there's a lot of promise going on there somewhere, and Lord knows I'm not allowed to have opinions about their box scores. And SIU gets handled by an Ivy League school.

Bad. Bad, bad, bad.

Go WSU. Go UNI. The rest of this conference can burn.

I think people that were expecting MSU to compete at the top of the league going into this season were kidding themselves a bit. They have weak post play, no defense, and a star player that can't stay healthy for more than a half season. I don't see that recipe adding up to a very good team. They might still finish in the top 3. If they do, Simmons and/or Jacobson should be fired.

I guess I missed the 4th place vote I believe there are 32 votes that determined the 5 spot . but they don't have an opinion on 4.

45%of all voters vote for Ill State in 5 th position.
100% of voters got no vote for 4th.
That 45% could put MSU in 4th but no one knows now

DJ Balentine imitation for Ruder. Good luck on the expectation in conference

They were 4th in the Valley last year without their star player for most of the conference season, and didn't lose much. And Indiana State clearly got much worse going into this year.

Western Michigan might be good this year, that might be a tough road ask for anyone but UNI and Wichita.

The rest of the conference is indeed burning. Except for Bradley, of which has already been burned and I'm not sure what's left to set ablaze.

WMU returned 4 starters from the team that won the MAC last season....they're a very solid team. Bulldogs will get better when Ricks and Madison return (Tuesday). Not saying they'll be good, but they'll be better.

I don't mind the loss. The blowout part is depressing.

I miss the days that the Valley was at least COMPETITIVE with half decent teams. Even pulling off wins now and then against teams percieved better. This conference has fallen so quick it is mind boggling. Multiple bids seem like a million years ago at this point.

I don't think the conference is ANY better top to bottom this year as a whole.

Good luck to UNI. You are our ONLY hope at another at large worthy team.
