josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 06/09/2026The rarest outcome in all of sports. Lose the game in regulation and then win it in OT. Wish I’d had that parley bet. #MSU 000
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Valuable lesson for the Western players. “When you go into Michigan Stadium you to go hard for the full 60 minutes + 1 extra play” #MSU 0122

josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Haven't seen it mentioned much, but the switching on D has really improved since the start of the season. I'm not seeing the miscommunication anymore. This is what a well-coached team does, they improve as the season goes on. #MSU 020
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Is this the real reason Trump went after Venezuela? Maybe it wasn't about the oil. Did Machado promise to give her Nobel Peace prize to Trump if he removed Maduro and made her President? 000
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Cooper autobenched after picking up his 2nd PF around the 13 minute mark. Izzo mostly went small after that with Carr at the 4 and Scott/Teng playing the 3. Worked offensively and didn't hurt defensively. #MSU 000
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Izzo is evolving. Last year he extended the D to prioritize contesting 3 point shots. This year the team is taking 20 three point shots/game (not sure of the exact stat but it feels like that many). Tonight, he abandoned his 2-fouls-in-the-first-half-is-an-autobench policy. #MSU 020
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 09/01/2026First half D was bad. First 15 minutes of the second half, D was great. Last 5 minutes of the game D wasn't that bad, but NW scored on almost every possession. They got a big assist from the refs. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Officials have completely lost control of this game. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Unwatchable. They just stopped calling all those fouls. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Only reason to watch the 2nd half is to see how many 3s in a row Teng hits. #MSU 000
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Surprised how far out Izzo is letting the guys defend the perimeter. They're going 25ft out. Also surprised Iowa coach is letting his guys shoot 25ft contested 3s. We can see which coach is winning this battle. #MSU 030
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Volume of 3s today stands out. 28. I've never seen this many 3s attempted by an Izzo team. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 22/11/2025Shooting 35% from 3 tonight. If we average 35% in B10 play we win the league title. 000
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Everyone knows Ward and Carr had great games. Less obvious is how well Cooper and Kohler played, especially off the ball. Kohler had some great seals on Carr's drives, the seal on the opening dunk was a thing of beauty. Cooper gives us a PNR threat that we haven't seen since Tillman. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Izzo has switched up the D this year. Used to be the guards always fought through picks. Other defenders knew this, so little communication was required. Now the guards often switch, and the bigs often hedge on picks. This requires a lot of communication, guys still learning. #MSU 020
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 29/10/2025Following the game thread on YouTube, so this is based purely on stats. We are giving up 40% on 3s and allowing them to rebound almost 50% of their misses. This is an uncommon combination as you generally tradeoff 3 pt D to control your own boards. Want to see the replay later. #MSU 000
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Thoughts on the BBall game. 1. Fears has improved, can create his own shot to some extent. 2. Ward further along than I expected. 3. Perimeter D sets up way beyond the arc and switches more than I've ever seen an Izzo team do. Lots of breakdowns but this is coachable and will work eventually. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 07/09/2025The way they won matters. They came back from a couple deficits. They played better in the 2nd half. Guys made mistakes and shook it off. Key players made big plays when it counted. These are all good signs. Go #MSU 050
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 30/08/2025First impression of 2025 MSU Football. DBs and RBs are better than last year. Oline and Chiles about the same. Dline is probably better, but still requires a blitzer to get pressure. Best unit is the punt coverage team. 000

josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Might just be an April Fools joke. If not, good luck Tre. College basketball is a job for these guys and following the money is a rational financial decision. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 31/03/2025I took a look at some of the Jaxon Richardson highlights. This kid is a clone of his dad and is going to be a very good college/NBA player. He hasn't selected a school yet. Hoping he chooses #MSU. 030
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 30/03/2025So, the Republican leaders won't tell their base they want Greenland because the Arctic ice is melting causing the sea lanes to open. Could be because they don't want to admit climate change is real. Or because they really don't know what causes ice to melt. Probably a little of both. 011
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 30/03/2025This is how I see our lineups today. 1. Fears 25/Holloman 15 2. Richardson 30/Holloman 10 3. Akins 30/Carr 10 4 Kohler 25/Carr 15 5. Cooper 25/Zapala 15 When Carr is at the 4, we're going to have problems when Broome and Cardwell are both in. Which is most of the time. But we have Izzo. #MSU 031
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 29/03/2025The player from the past that Coen Carr most resembles is Jason Richardson. Same height and frame, same insane athleticism, same skillset, same highlight plays on ESPN. Crazy that he reminds me of Jason more than Jase does. #MSU 221
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Overlooked because of his offensive production last night, but Jase's 2 defensive rebounds in the last minute were huge. We probably lose if he doesn't get them. #MSU 060
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Not sure who I want to win the other game tonight. Reasons to prefer either team winning. But it's easy to be ambivalent knowing it won't affect the outcome anyway. #MSU 040

josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Watched some Ole Miss games and I saw what they do. Create turnovers and force shots late in the clock. Everyone beats them on the offensive glass. Everyone shoots more free throws than them. They still win most games. The key is to limit turnovers while getting a high % of shots in the paint. #MSU 060
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 24/03/2025We face a Chris Beard team again. Most of you probably remember the 2019 Final Four when we couldn't score on his "no middle" defense. Held us to 51 points. This isn't that T-Tech team. I watched replays of UNC and ISU games. They give up more penetration, a lot of O-boards and don't run well. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Jase struggled but stayed in the game mentally. The and-1 with 49 seconds left was a bigtime play. So was the rebound that sealed it, he took it from 2 UNM guys who are 6'10". #MSU 041
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Best player struggled against a good team. Team was 4-15 on 3s. Fell behind by 10 early. Yet team kept their composure and still won by 8. This team can make the FF. #MSU 040
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 22/03/2025UNM matchup thoughts. They only go 6 deep. Against Marquette, 90% of their minutes 100% scoring and 33/36 boards came from those 6. Their only bad loss was to St. Johns, a clone of us. That said, I think they're a tough matchup. Bigger than us and St. John's did not wear them down. #MSU 030
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Feeling good about this matchup. Bryant lives off of offensive boards. We do not give up many offensive boards. #MSU 030
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Tourney thoughts. 11 auto bids already decided, 3 more today. As a 2 or 3 seed, we're going to play one of those teams. They'll have 8-9 days rest. If we play in B10 title game, we get 3-4 days rest. We're better off winning Friday and then losing Saturday. That one day could matter. #MSU 110
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Continuing rant about All B10 selections. One 2nd team selection averaged 12 PPG, and gave up 15-20 PPG to guys he was defending. Against us he scored 18, and gave up > 20 to guys beating him off the dribble. Akins averaged 13 PPG and never gave up more than 10. Akins should've been 2nd team. #MSU 010
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Saw clip of Dusty May asking reporters if his guys are allowed to stand on the logo. Obviously not Dusty, at least not at that time. That's why the ref walked your guys back off the logo when Akins went to kiss it. #MSU 020
josephdavid.bsky.social @josephdavid.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Of course they knew about the tradition. That's why they stood on the logo at center court when the seniors came out. They didn't stand on the logo during free throws before that. #MSU 0121
