Cats vs Grambling

[BelgradeBobcat]

I expect them to be most like Portland State in teams we've played. They can and will shoot threes and they are very tenacious on defense and will probably press some. They don't shoot it as quick as Portland State from what I've seen. I think Brandon Walker can do some damage on their big, but not super athletic center. Patterson's length on the perimeter should hopefully hurt their outside shooting. Probably the type of game where no lead is safe and no deficit to great to overcome.

SWAC does not seem like a good conference based on records. But, maybe they all play tough OOC schedules. Grambling States was pretty good leading to a poor record but then 14-4 in conference. Winnable game especially if play like last week of reg season and tourney.

Will Roger have a Grambling is not a State poster.

Grambling had the #4 strongest non-conference schedule out of all 336 D-1 teams. They went 0-10 against that schedule but when you look at the list of teams they played and take into account that all of them were road or neutral site games, it's hard to imagine MSU doing a whole lot better than that. Is it 4:40 yet???

They played 6 schools that made the tournament this year in non-con, including a 92-37 LOSS to #2 seed Iowa State. Woof

Pregame on Trutv now. Already more coverage and discussion than we got last 2 years. Big John and Ford getting some love.

To be fair, Iowa State just beat Houston (ranked #1 in the country at the time) 69-41 last week.

The best 2 teams in my opinion ended up in the same quadrant. The UConn/Iowa State game will be worth watching.

Let’s go Cats!!!

So far so good! Gotta keep them out of the paint.

[tetoncat]

Good start but golly the ball gets stuck when it goes to walker. 12-9 first time out

[msu_agfan]

Great that Goracke hit the 3 after getting blocked.on his first shot, they look locked in!

It's called going to the sure score, and it's working.

Just a different offense when Olmstead comes in. More ball movement, get outside shots. I don't mind him getting it but when they triple him it needs to get kicked.

Help. Watching the game on my computer on the NCAA free site and I got timed out. I didn't know that was possible. I thought I could watch all the games for free on the NCAA live stream. Now what?

I think you have to log in with a tv provider.

It's supposed to be 3 hours free but it seems like it's only 10 minutes instead.

Initial impressions:
Cats look to have a better overall team
They aren’t playing very crisp. A bit out of rhythm.
Refs calling tighter than Big Sky Tourney
Grambling St.’s inability to finish at the rim is why the Cats are leading right now
