This Utah team might not win a road game all year unless they can rebound and get to the line (and knock down free throws). I was impressed in how close they kept it without the three going in all that much especially from Gabe Madison but just wayyy too many fouls down the stretch. No reason your opponent should have more than double the amount of free throws as you.

Also a lot of weak fouls being called. Our whole team might foul out by the end of this game.

It could easily a close 10-7 type game if they were to play again. Utah state has a decent offense but their defense has been abysmal at times while Utah’s been quite the opposite.

Someone reported that They’ll be in attendance

Yeah. was at the game as well because some friends invited me and clearly had special packages for him since he’s a real running threat and Petras is slow as dirt. Was fun to finally watch a win in person.

Arizona won last Saturday but yeah your point remains.

Agreed, most freshman aren’t gonna earn respect by being the alpha, too many egos on the team will be bruised that way. Freshman usually earn respect by working hard in practice, in film, and the weight room. The leadership has to come naturally and can’t be forced. Part of me thinks Isaac was trying to hard to be a leader after he had some success and once things went down hill he came across as entitled or arrogant. Just one possible theory as to why nobody likes him.

Maybe this is where the mono rumor came from..? It’s definitely cold and flu season but I’m almost positive whatever Lisa Wilson says is mostly false. If Isaac is/was sick at all it probably was very mild and something all athletes deal with throughout their seasons.

Both teams had similar bonehead mistakes (missing easy/foul shots, dumb turnovers, etc) but what really helped Mississippi state pull away was the amount of free throws they had. Both teams missed some free throws but when your shoot almost 40 FTs you’re almost never gonna lose especially if the other team shoots less than 15

[Rick Walker]

Honestly Miss St’s PG has a really quick first step and took advantage of the five out offense when we didn’t have anyone playing inside. Erickson is just slower than that guy and the defense has to adjust, someone’s job has to be to drop down and force a kick out.
