Is he serving a one-game suspension, or injury?

This has been the ugliest game I've seen in quite some time. Even worse than the Winona game last year, which was an abomination. If MSU plays like this all year, they'll win 8 games at best.

Eckerd leading 72-63 with 1:21 left

Eckerd is no slouch though - 3rd round of NCAA's last year....assume they have some solid returners and newcomers. At least it wasn't a loss to Waldorf or something like that!

Agree. And without Kirksey, a talented player, I suspected their chances of winning there last night were not good.

Eckerd was a decent team. They had a couple of nice players for sure. Neither team shot the ball well at all. Defense was alright from both sides, but overall, an ugly game from both team for the most part. I think both teams (and certainly coaches) were frustrated with the officiating. I thought they equally less-than-good for both sides and had no impact on the result. Mavs shot under 40% overall and under 30% for three. Young guys looked young in this game as well. Agree, certainly missed Kirksey in this game for sure.

The Eckerd campus is beautiful though, maybe they were a bit too relaxed on the trip :)

Mavs got the OT win yesterday, but Kevin Krieger went down with an injury and didn't return. The USF radio guy made it sound like he didn't want to put any weight on his knee. Hopefully it's a sprain and he can be back this year...

Re: 2018-2018 Minnesota State Thread

Yes, hopefully Krieger's injury will allow him to return to action within a few weeks. Big loss without him even for that long, and hopefully won't keep him out the rest of this season. I'm impressed by the new players from what I have observed to this point.

Per Courrier it's a strained hammy:

You have to think they'll be cautious. MSU has 3 games coming up. Winona, UIU, and North Central U in a D-III matchup. After that, they have 11 days before their next league game.

Thought that I better give this a bump. It had almost disappeared.

Let's give the MSU basketball cheerleaders a little love.

Re: 2018-2018 Minnesota State Thread

I wish that Carlos Anderson would simply just play defense. He is way above average on that end when he wants to be, but his offensive game is simply offensive.
