    Agree. But this thread has become about his defense.

    Q is about the 4th most talented guy on our roster, but we treat him like he is supposed to be an all American.

    When has Eli hit a tough jumper?

    Not sure your name fits, tbh
    for defense genius.

    So... the if Q is out of the game, what guard is going to take a big shot? Peters is better as a facilitator. That leaves Nick? Again, who is going to take a big shot? I get defense, but you also have to score.

    If you score more, you win. Genius.

    Ever heard of a defensive substitution?

    End game against Mizzou: Q drops off his man when not necessary and his man hits the winning 3 in the corner
    End game against Vandy: Q inexplicably leaves the man with the ball and he hits the game winning 3
    End game against South Carolina: Guard blows right by him for the game tying 3.

    End game scenario, he doubles Silva and gets a huge steal

    Yep. And he's a calming precense that can make big shots. But let's replace him with a guy that has shown spurts. Lol

    So what do you do when you are out of timeouts (like we were)?

    Genius

    I think Peters actually fell down and He was to be the one to foul ole Red. Q fouled Him and the Refs did not call it. What is the argument, his job was to foul him and he did. Q made some mistakes but he also made huge plays to win the Game. I still don't get the Q bashing. I want him to have the ball at crunch time. Also maybe you noticed he had 4 steals, and made some big time free throws.plus he get the rebound when we need it.

    And I certainly agree with that part of your post
    What was the call on Peters the play before? Same play.

    My problem is blaming Q at the end of the game peters is by the guy at 4.2 with us up 1. No foul called there the game is over. We hit 2 free throws go up 3. Q makes the same play and no foul called. They hit the 3. Why are we bashing our guys??

    Please shut the **** up. You are maybe the worst MSU fan on this board. We heard what you said the first time. Saying the same shit 100 more times doesn't make you right. The majority of people on this board with an ounce of basketball IQ, think you are ignorant, and I think they would be correct.

    Because we have the worst fans ever. A select few would rather be right rather than be wrong and us succeed. It's truly sad

    Exactly! Don’t blame the guys for inconsistency by the officials.

    The only ones against me are the ones that think Q hung the moon. No, I’m one of the more realistic posters on this board. I mean you are an idiot when it comes to basketball. I said earlier that I’m done talking about this, BUT YOU WANT TO CALL ME OUT! I’m no expert, BUT I HAVE SENSE. Its okay to say our guys aren’t perfect. I know I seem like I’m bashing Q, but I’m not. I expect more from him- he is supposed to be the leader of this team. He is supposed to be our leader. I gave him props in the game thread. Like I said, make him prove me wrong, and I’ll never bash him again. I PROMISE!

    Why would I want him or anyone on our team to fail? I support anyone who wears a state jersey/ uniform. If it makes y’all feel better, I won’t say anything bad about him AGAIN. I’m dropping it. I just want us to win and get to the NCAA tourney.
    At the end of the day, we’re all state fans and have the same goal- to see Ms state succeed in any and all sports. Hail State!

    It’s a 40 minute game, sometimes 45. We weren’t playing against air. Mistakes made?? Of course. Everyone play perfect? Nope? Did we battle and win a game we absolutely sucked for the first 15 minutes? Yep!the last 5 years we fold up and quit after that start. We are a team that fights and plays hard! Every play? Hell no but we are getting closer than we ever have. I’m proud of the way each has fought! Wish we could appreciate the effort

    Y'all need to give Q a break. He is what he is- a solid player that makes us good.

    Edit to add:
    You can say he should have fouled him "harder," but then you risk an intentional foul and he did enough to get what was called a foul all day. Can't fault him for doing his job.
    My thoughts exactly. The refs should?ve called the foul but they didn?t. I thought the refs were harder on Q tonight than anyone else on the floor.
    It?s great to see Wright take the ball strong to the basket on those three possession. Other people saying that he should take minutes from Q are stretching it but it?s great to see depth on our bench. Lack of depth has plagued us for years.
