BASKETBALL Middle Tennessee (4-1) vs South Florida (3-2) (Myrtle Beach Invitational)(ESPN2), 1PM, Friday, 11/22/2024

[MTTim]

my god I cannot stand Cam Weston sometimes. turnover machine then pathetic lazy defense on the other end.

Counter's injury is going to cost us this game because Weston has to play now

I said this last year. Weston is a turnover machine and not a reliable scorer.

 

[sWiley]

I'll never understand how this shit happens when it's the most predictable F'ing thing in sports that you see happen every day. How do you let them back in like that when you know they are desperate and will be playing at 110%

 

[sWiley]

we are definitely losing this game and probably by double digits. Unless we get another miracle barrage of 3's there is no way we can stay ahead

 

[altshauf]

Gotta get Cam out. No confidence.

 

[sWiley]

You have to get Weston out. I don't care if a walk-on is next man up. He's literally playing for USF right now

 

[altshauf]

We are in meltdown mode. Where do you go when you need a bucket?

 

[sWiley]

We are in meltdown mode. Where do you go when you need a bucket?

I'll tell you where you don't go. Nick McDevitt. Zero ability to call timely time outs and help his team with good plays and team substitutions (How on earth do you leave Weston in the game that long? The second he turns it over and gives his man a free open 3 on the other end HE IS DONE FOR THE GAME GTFO KID)

I cannot stand this coaching staff. I will never understand how they allow Weston to play in the fashion that he does (wreckless, careless, selfish, trash, street ball hero ball GARBAGE).

Kermit Davis' head would have literally EXPLODED if Weston played like that under him. He most certainly would have never been allowed to check back into a game until he played like a responsible team player (Ball protection, actual defense on the other end)

 

[altshauf]

Loofe from out of nowhere stopped the drought. A bank 3 and a tough bucket inside that should have been an “and 1”.

 

[altshauf]

Mostafa will need big minutes down the stretch. Reynolds is too much inside for loofe.

 

[MTTim]

Loose is playing over his head. Good to see.

 

[altshauf]

Officials have changed how the game is called too.

 

[altshauf]

Every time they have driven over the past 5 mins it’s a foul on us.

 

[sWiley]

Hopeless

 

[altshauf]

Big save by Mostafa and bucket by Porter. These have been timely buckets.

[sWiley]

Look how much better this team looks with Weston out and a supposed inferior Jacob Johnson taking his place.....

I'll take Jacob Johnson every day of the week over Weston and twice on Sundays. At least he plays defense and doesn't give up extremely untimely turnovers

Grind this one out!

 

[TrueBlue147]

Anyone else sick of the announcers constantly talking about what previous school players played at?

Counter sitting normally on the sidelines......Maybe there's some hope there. Maybe just a sprain ?

 

[Hop45]

Gotta hit the free throws down the stretch! Let's go!!

 

[altshauf]

Anyone else sick of the announcers constantly talking about what previous school players played at?

I said that 2 years ago. At some point it will be “PG transfer from …. Passes to the other transfer from ….. then dumps it in to the big transfer from …. And it is blocked by the transfer from….”

 

[sWiley]

Anyone else sick of the announcers constantly talking about what previous school players played at?

Just par for the course. They do it in every game you watch these days unfortunately.

And yes, it is very annoying. Maybe one day they will get a hold on these transfer shenanigans so it's not musical chairs every off season.

 

[altshauf]

Counter sitting normally on the sidelines......Maybe there's some hope there. Maybe just a sprain ?

Lord I hope so.

 

[sWiley]

How is that a foul on Porter?

 

[sWiley]

HE PUT WESTON IN THE GAME?

 

[TrueBlue147]

Get Weston out!!!!!

 

[MTOleBlue]

Mostafa has literally changed the direction of our program. Outstanding piece of the puzzle. Great win today, not “hopeless” after all, was it?

 

[altshauf]

Game!

 

[sWiley]

Lord I hope so.

He's got his leg elevated again

 

[altshauf]

We owe this to Porter and Mostafa!!!

 

[SpaceRaider]

95-88

MT hangs on

It was with Weston in the game. USF's run and momentum instantly vanished when Johnson replaced him. Not sure what took McDevitt so long to get him out....

 

[TrueBlue147]

Nice to see the team gather themselves after the big run by South Florida. Good win!

Weston did not have a great game, but with Counter out he will be needed. Porter can't run the point and score for us all game long.

 

[kingaling42]

They are 4-1. Where the hell is Ring-A-Ling??!!

👀 never left.. just don’t go into roller coaster mode like many of y’all

 

[blueraider315]

Got a little scary in the second half, but we weathered the storm and kept playing. So that is great!

Onto the Championship!

i know nothing about the other schools in the other game.

 

[SigmaNuBlue]

Can we just be happy about being 5-1? This "sky is falling" narrative gets old.

 

[jakeboldenbrp]

Happy to see the Raiders play with a lead against a good team. It got scary for sure but South Florida getting 14 FTs in the first 8 minutes helped tremendously. Couldn’t play defense for about a 6 minute span without fouling.

Weston was a liability just trying to do too much with 2 quick turnovers and not playing defense on the backend. McDevitt proceeded to sit him for the next 10 minutes and rolled JP back over to PG. I would’ve loved to see us create more shots for JP like we did in the first, but with Counter out, there isn’t another good ball handler.

They did exactly what I thought they needed to in that first half — shoot the 3 and not turn the ball over. They did the opposite in the second but kudos for them for never giving that lead up. That speaks volume to the maturity of this group.
