ND vs. #21 Missouri

[irishfan]

ND vs. #21 Mizzou on ESPN2 in 10 minutes. I'm on a train right now with shaky wifi, but I'll try and post updates. We're supposedly at full-health tonight, and Abro is back.

It will definitely be interesting to see how Brey dishes out playing time.

 

[NDPhilly]

If Atkins and Grant play as well as they have so far I like the Irish. They are very quick, Missouri.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Abro not taking long to get going,

 

[BeauBenken]

I have a good feeling about this game, but I had a good feeling about the begin of this football season too...

 

[BeauBenken]

I don't want to get into a quick game battle with these guys.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

As a former "Big man", I cannot stand when players throw chest passes at an angle into the post.

 

[BeauBenken]

This Mizzou team is aggressive that's for sure.

 

[BeauBenken]

As a former "Big man", I cannot stand when players throw chest passes at an angle into the post.

You were a "big man"?

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I'm 6'1" and cant dribble so I always play down low or floated around in the inside. Same in HS and college intramurals and stuff...

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Hoping Brey slows the tempo here.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Damn, this Mizzou D makes ND look frantic.

 

[NDPhilly]

This could get ugly.

 

[irishff1014]

Missouri doesn't waste a second.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

This is a game I never thought we would win. Missouri is good and practically playing at home. Our young guys will be overwhelmed.

 

[BeauBenken]

So why was Dragovich sent out there? I'm still trying to figure that out.

Let's move back to the 2-3 and make them slow it down some more.

 

[BeauBenken]

Grant is looking like the only guy we have who is able to challenge Mizzou in the quickness department.

 

[BeauBenken]

Damn, we needed that three.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

and one. I like that the last 2 plays that sort of used the baseline to attack rather than driving to the middle. Missou guards seem to be falling back into the middle of the paint.

 

[sportallyr]

Big three by Atkins. And an answer by Mizzu. Thank God we have Abro back. He looks great, but our inside game both offensive and defensive is pathetic. Not bad, but pathetic. Dragicevic is pretty bad too with the ball in his hands. We need to find some people that can handle the rock so we can work it around and get some open looks outside. The way Missouri has played defensively, it seems like 90 percent of our makes have been contested shots that we just hit.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

And no, Mizzou is not this good IMO. Their style of D gets old fast when you miss shots. Theyre shooting 70%--what the freak.

 

[NDPhilly]

Abro is so much better than last year.

 

[BeauBenken]

Drago just looks goofy as hell out there.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Dude gets swiped then slides in underneath for an and1...

 

[NDPhilly]

Dracevich does not look like a Big East caliber player.

 

[BeauBenken]

We were back within 7. You can't let them get easy points and you can't foul like an idiot.

 

[BeauBenken]

10-0 run for Mizzou. This is ****ing ridiculous.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Need to somehow get this to 12 within the next 50 secs.

 

[BeauBenken]

Closing seconds three by Abro coming up?

 

[NDPhilly]

There remind me so much of FSU last year. Super athletic. Don't usually shoot this well but do against ND. These next few recruiting classes can't get here fast enough. We desperately lack athleticism.

 

[BeauBenken]

If I was getting played so aggressively on defense I probably would have demolished more than a couple of these kids with my offensive fouls.
