[Cloak]

Man it's tough being a State fan. Bring on baseball

Miss State has won 2 of last 12 vs Bama in football.

Miss State has won 1 of the last 12 vs bama in basketball

Do anything in the first half, we win the game.

We Did not have a decent offensive play that worked after any of the time outs.

[cheewgumm]

HARD to watch because we soils befood.

We find a way to lose.

[LC Dawg]

I finally had enough and gave up on this team in the first half. They showed some heart and came back in the second half but it doesn?t really matter because they didn?t do the simple things at the end to win.
Got to put two halves together and got to do the simple things. I love Bulldog basketball and it is killing me to keep watching this. I know we?re young but I want to see some better results soon.

[msstate7]

We don?t have a go to guy with a killer instinct.

Peters got us back in the game, and got I think 1 more shot. Q completely tried to take over the game and really should have passed more

I thought peters this year would be that guy but he’s just had a terrible start this year. Hope this is the turn around.

Pardon Me, but wasn't it Q that hit 2 free throws to tie the game. I want Q taking over the game. Hasn't he already won 2 games with clutch shots at the end, I guess he should have passed. The last possession , Q didn't touch the ball, I wish he had.

They actually showed some heart by fighting back from the ginormous hole they dig themselves during the 1st half. The announcers were right, if you can win four minute segments of the half you can win basketball games. Props to Peters for playing up to his potential and firing up everyone else. Still a ton of crap to work on but this, albeit LATE, is a start.

[Liverpooldawg]

And good teams find a way to win, Preds 4 Panthers 3.

[Bdawg]

Tough not to complete the comeback but hopefully peters has some confidence back and Ado has got to find a way to stay on the court. Good fight in the second half but why do we have a first half like that? Hopefully we carry our second half effort with us the rest of the season

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Could be a turning point for us. Excellent 2nd half. Peters played like we all hoped he would play all year. Might need to cut X loose.

I don't know man...we've consistantly played one horrible half and one good half all season.

[Goldendawg]

Why can we not play two good halves in a game?

Why can we not play two good halves in a game?

We did and we won by 18. Howland should burn the first half film and forget about it. No need to look at that. To have been able to tie it up with a lot of time left in the game was remarkable. We just couldn’t get over the Hump and get a lead. I felt like if we had just gotten a lead we would have won. We didn’t so we lost. I thought Peters should have taken over the game and he gave it to Q and Q missed the three pointer. Peters needs to shoot that. I thought he had it in rhythm but he passed it to Q. I take it back what I said earlier. We absolutely need Peters and we need to start him. We need to bench Carter and start Peters. It’s time for the Peters/Q/Nick W 1-3 starting five to be united again. Please stop starting Carter. We need Peters to start.

you get that with young teams. it's been a struggle this year, but if Peters can get going it's a game changer. Howland just need to let Lamar be Lamar. You have to take the occasional bad with the good, but our best chance with this group is to turn him loose.

[Commercecomet24]

We don?t have a go to guy with a killer instinct.

I agree. We just don?t have someone we can turn to in those situations. Gotta find a dog!

[Commercecomet24]

Love the fight and effort in the second half. Gotta find a way to play 2 halves.

[msstate7]

Pardon Me, but wasn't it Q that hit 2 free throws to tie the game. I want Q taking over the game. Hasn't he already won 2 games with clutch shots at the end, I guess he should have passed. The last possession , Q didn't touch the ball, I wish he had.

Q did some good things for sure, but his 5 TOs were huge. He has to quit turning the ball over so much... over 2.5 per game as a guard

I'll agree. but remember He isn't a point guard--we are asking Him to be the leader. on 2 of the TO's he was fouled. The other Ado bumbled the ball away. If Peter's steps up then Q can play where He is supposed to. The play that hurt was the steal where Q loses control on the layup and had to pas back the Nick where he missed the layup-then I believe it wasn't Q who touched the ball out of bounds underneath the goal. I'll stick by and ride or die with Q at crunch time. The person that handles the ball alot and tries to make plays has more turnovers than the dude that sits and the 3 point line and jacks them up.

[cheewgumm]

We can?t shoot.

Peters got fire hot and brought us back. Otherwise we'd Have lost by 20.
