BZ playing well. 9 of the 15.


Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14, but 34-11 will do.

Who's this Goraski the announcer keeps referring to? 😂

It’s getting hard to see any reason to play Walker. I’ve been a believer but..
He doesn’t rebound well
He’s a liability on defense
He handcuffs the offense

The cats just aren’t as good when he’s on the court.

He has been a different player this year....

Great to see the hustle, and I have seen Walker do some serious blocking out for rebounds.

I agree. He has a spurt now and then, but overall, a liability.

Given that the regular season title is well out of reach I've started watching these games with the mindset of "Could MSU beat these guys on a neutral court?". The answer for UNC is absolutely.

I don't disagree with the premise, however when they need a few points mid game he does seem to be able to find them.

We've seen flashes this year of his ability to be a complete player, which makes it that much more frustrating when he isn't.

We really need to stop having bad ball-handlers try to dribble up court by themselves and predictably get the ball knocked out from behind every single time.

Walker has 5 rebounds at the half. I did see him play some nice defense on one possession.

As much as I bag on BW, I support this statement. There’s been a slow but steady increase of his ability to up his game on both ends.

How can the P x P guy pronounce "Agnonkpolo" but totally butcher "Goracke?"

It's really embarrassing/disrespectful. Big Sky conference should really demand better.

Been checking the score now and then. Seems like we're always behind by just a little bit. When we do get a lead we can't hold it. We're good at matching what the other team is doing but can't surpass them and ultimately a little spurt does us in.

Just can't get a stop and a rebound right now.
