More of the same - failure to guard the 3, ineptitude on offense against a zone, ill-timed turnovers. Minnesota is a very mediocre team but we're making them look like Final Four material. MSU can climb back in by making some open shots and attacking middle of zone, plus challenging their 3s.

That was huge, mid-air decision

This is really ugly to watch, MSU looks clueless...

He's out of sorts, let's see if he rallies.

CC had a great game at both ends.

I'd love to see more Teng and Fort at the 2, with Ugo sliding to the 1 when Fears is out.

Ugo saved them today. I could see shifting Ugo between the 1 and 2, and then subbing Teng and Fort for either Ugo or Fears, but Wojcik should not be a part of that rotation unless very limited.

Great move by Scheyer going to the zone, MSU with no answer.

Duke's defensive adjustments were the difference, and of course down the stretch MSU had no real answer for the Duke zone. Fears and Teng ice cold. Props to Cooper, Kohler and Scott for good games.

Are you kidding me? With a history of Nassar and Tucker & we seek out Fitzgerald? The hazing evidence during his coaching time at Northwestern was strong, even if he didn't know personally the optics are horrible. And he was 4-20 his last 2 yrs at NU. Terrible choice!

Actually feel sorry for the players, they fought hard. And not to make excuses, but another major homer job (think Minnesota) on the no-call on obvious PI on McCray over the middle late.

McCulloch 's 3 at the 9-min mark was huge, it blunted UK's comeback.

I'm sure UK is better than they showed, but MSU put it all together and displayed some serious depth. What a beat down.

Fantastic half by MSU, shooting, defense and boards, can they keep it up?

What a class. Hoping that they will have good chemistry together, and play defense (I think Tom will take care of that).

Hope these were first-game jitters, Fears and Kohler played well, but this won't cut it against good teams.

What was happening was PJ Fleck was throwing a tantrum on the sidelines which got the crowd involved, and the refs caved and picked up the flag. There are advantages to having a demonstrative coach constantly in the refs' faces, unlike the statue that we have on our sidelines.

3rd down run call was ridiculous, throw the ball, nothing to lose

Disagree Chris, looked perfectly timed and replay confirmed. My question: why not reviewable, like potential targeting or ball spot? Why not give each team one challenge for any penalty called like that?

Bad first possession for Chiles, he has to crank it up and play with no turnovers.

Not much risk at this point to go for it on 4th from the IU 32, disappointing decision to kick it (and miss it anyway).

Entire OL was a sieve most of the day - Chiles under siege almost every dropback.

In the 4th qtr we had 3rd stringers at DL and LB, and those guys played with heart in a tough situation - that was encouraging.
