[NU Sports] the MSU Game

[Steve Fridley]

Here's my take on what happened:

* We played a better team, on their home floor, where they rarely lose.
* we played without TJ Parker, who started but could not continue 
playing after 5 minutes because of his illness
* we played without Davor Duvancic, who is also ill.
* we played a long stretch without Vedran, who left the game in severe 
pain with a shoulder injury.  Fortunately, it wasn't a recurrence of 
the shoulder injury that plagued him for two years but a severe bruise.
* We got into serious foul trouble with Mike Thompson, and Vince Scott 
had to play for a huge part of the game.  Tolic wasn't an option - he 
didn't travel either.
* We committed 9 turnovers in the first ten minutes (and 12 in the 
first half) largely because MSU's defense was so good that we had a 
number of shot clock violations when, without TJ, we didn't have a good 
look during the offensive possession.
*Hachad and Jenkins also found themselves in foul trouble.

that's about it.

Jenkins can help us cover for the loss of Parker for a while, but 
nobody on the team can make up for the loss of VV, especially when DD 
is out and MT's in foul trouble.

Does this mean that MSU beats Indiana by 50?
