Game on ESPN U tonight....

I can't say that I think a player is playing poorly today. Everyone is playing there role well and playing aggressively. Orr is doing what I thought he would do. He clearly belongs on a D1 court. Won't be the best player but is solid.

Crawford is afraid to shoot last 2 times down.

BG down 7 now....gotta keep it close.

I am sitting 4 rows behind the bench. At the 8 min time out Coach Hopson and Coach Orr was in Crawfords ear about not taking a layup and making a bad pass that was tipped out of bounds. And then Crawford took a bad three out of the time out and the coach called another time out, and chewed out Crawford for an excuseable three point shot. Crawford is only 3-14 shooting so far.

He is not playing badly. You keeping stats...you are always bitching about something.

There were at least two times Crawford was a foot from the basket and made an errant pass. Another time he went for a reverse layup on a break away. Go for the layup and try to get fouled. Quit just flinging up three's and feed the big men.

He definitely had 2 times he should have shot it and passed off. I wouldn't say the passes were errant, just weren't caught. Certainly weren't perfect and he should have shot it. I think he is a bit gunshy after that swat.

Crawford in the doghouse. And MSU on a 15-2 run after Orr came out of the game. Once again *wonderful* coaching down the stretch.

[Globetrotter]

Need to get Crawford back in there. Our offense has not been the same with him out. So stupid to take him out.

Why in the world are they keeping those 2 out. Not playing to win.

[Globetrotter]

No fg last 8 and 1/2 minutes. How many of those have Crawford or Orr played. What is going on?

[gmartin]

Kraus is a D-III player.

[Tricky_Falcon]

BG had plenty of chances, just couldn't capitalize on MSU mistakes.

[Globetrotter]

I have never seen in my entire life of watching basketball a coach be within striking distance and take out his 2 leading scorers for the final 5+minutes. I am completely baffled. I would mutiny in the locker room if I were Crawford or Orr. Nuts. There is no way he doesnt lose whatever connection he had with this team after that. I can't believe it. Thats playing to lose.

[Falconfreak90]

Gotta agree with GT. No reason in the world for our two leading scorers to be sitting late in the game within striking distance. Yeah Crawford messed up but we looked totally lost out there. Kraus? How does he play so many minutes????? Frustrating as hell. Overall, I thought BG played pretty well....much better than I thought.
