Missouri State Preview and Game Thread -- 1-23-2019

[Johhnyfingers]

What a terrible half. We need to rebound and also shoot more threes.

Is it just me, or does it feel like we play horrible on CBS Sports Network this year

[01grad]

They’re 11-19 from the field (6-10 from 3) with 4 offensive rebounds. So of the 19 shots they’ve put up, only 4 haven’t resulted in a basket or them getting the rebound. Somehow we’re only down 6.

All year long, we've been one of the best teams in the league at defensive rebounding percentage (e.g. keeping other teams from getting offensive rebounds). It looks like Missouri State is trying to challenge our training and resolve on that count.

We can't win with only Krutwig, Townes, and Custer in a funk as all of our offense. I'd like to test out running Custer, Uguak and Agunanne or Negron at the same time with Townes and Custer. I don't know if we've run our offense in practice with a lineup like that, but we should see what happens.

Yes. We beat Richmond, but I think that's it.

Not an ideal start to the second half

[ahunte1]

Pretty bad defence to start the game.

Also on offense we don’t seem to be running our normal sets. Doesn’t look right, pretty ugly, causing a lot of forced shots

Pretty much our typical CBS Sports Nerwork game. It is a curse.

[goramblers2011]

We are so inconsistent. Looking like this will fall in the St. Joes/Maryland/Evansville camp of games.

[01grad]

So the narrative coming into tonight was MoState struggled shooting the 3 and guarding the 3...

[JCT]

You have to really dig deep to win a mid-week road game in the Valley. We evidently thought they'd hand us a W. Just like at Evansville.
