Win or lose, scrap and battle for it.

I think we saw that agaisnt Ole Miss, but want to see it on the road against a top team.

Tomorrow is a big test.

That Kentucky game is going to come back to haunt us because we have a tough SEC schedule. We actually played better than them and stats back it up. They just could not
miss.

Look at OM conference schedule, they got hooked up.

I hate these quick Tuesday turnaround games. I expect us to be emotionally flat after beating OM in OT and get run out of the building. Probably didn't help our cause that TN dropped a heartbreaker to Vandy on the road. I expect them to have their hair on fire for this one. SC road game is likely going to be critical.

Afraid you are right.

I?m hoping we battle.

If we want to play with the big boys we have to show up and steal some of these road games

If we can win this game that pushes things to another level

Tall order, but we are capable.

I think completing tall orders is the expectation for this team. Excited for tonight

Hearing chatter that Harris and Kugel are now listed as Probable with undisclosed injuries. Anybody hearing anything else?

Both listed as probable , so should play.

Harris was out most of end of OM game so figured he was banged up.

I know Zigler is a good defender and all, HOWEVER

If the legnth is the issue for Hubbard, tonight he faces someone he can definitely confidently shoot over.

Does that make a difference for him tonight?

Yeah- tonight could be a good one for him. Tenn's other 2 guards have to match-up with Harris and RJ- pretty much making Zeigler have to guard Hubb

It's not a must win game but it would surely help if we could get another road win, especially against a good team like Tennesse. With our schedule being so tough we have to protect home court and try to sneak a couple wins in on the road

Our schedule is brutal. The whole month of Feb, specifically.

YES!!!

Have to view every game as 50 / 50. Just fight to win every one, and hope there are more wins than losses in the end.

Their schedule isn't ours but it's by no means easy. Their next 5:

vs A&M-rock fight
@Mizzou-I would expect they lose that one
vs Texas-they probably can win this one
vs Auburn-loss
vs Kentucky-can they stop Kentucky enough

Right.

Every game on all SEC schdules is a loss waiting to happen.

Went about like I expected. Came out totally unprepared to play. Hopefully we are ready on Saturday.

This is NOT a sweet 16 team like many of you claim.

It never is. Our basketball fans get really excited early every year. We are about what I expected. Maybe a tournament team.

At this point i'm not sure Brick City 12 finishes the season over 35% shooting overall.

We do this in all sports as we want a winner so badly. Not easy being a State fan at all.

No it's not. It's a tough life. In bad about doing this in baseball. I think we are a CWS team every year, then reality sets in.
I know better in football. We are going to suck.
Basketball is just meh to me but I can't not watch it when we are playing. I just don't expect much.

Know what you mean. Son and I went to last year's Spring Football game (57 consecutive years of family having season tickets) for the first time in a few years and I was so excited watching the offense and predicted 7-5 floor and 8-4 ceiling for Lebby's first year. Didn't stop to think that I was also looking at bad defense against that offense and an "On the job training" staff in many positions. Didn't realize I was looking at "Tech and 10, 2.0". Oh, well, won't be long until Spring Training and we have no losses for '25 at this point.*** Hail State!
