Bama @ State Men's basketball

[NCMSTFAN]

We are 1-8 against Bama since the 2020-2021 season and a lot of those losses we got blown out. We have to protect the house tonight and its time to get a win against one of our rivals.

Is this the break out Josh Hubbard game we have all been waiting for? He is due one for sure. I'd love to see Kugel, Harris and Melendez play alot tonight, I think we need their size and length will bother Bama some. Nwoko and Murphy will have their hands full also, Bama plays 10 guys 14 minutes or more so they have the depth.

[msstate7]

I expect 8 3-pointers from sears tonight since the lsu deal

[Homedawg]

I expect 8 3-pointers from sears tonight since the lsu deal

Almost a certainty

[msu15]

Bama ML

[Coach34]

State -1.5/165

Sears will probably go off tonight for 2 reasons- Hubb has to guard him and he had his ass put on the bench vs LSU for not defending like Oats wants

I bet on Bama to try and help us tonight.

[Brobi-wan]

State -1.5/165

Sears will probably go off tonight for 2 reasons- Hubb has to guard him and he had his ass put on the bench vs LSU for not defending like Oats wants

I bet on Bama to try and help us tonight.

Thank you for taking one for the team.

[StateDawg44]

Career night from behind the arc for Sears & mama incoming.

[parabrave]

Why do you torture yourself.

[msstate7]

State -1.5/165

Sears will probably go off tonight for 2 reasons- Hubb has to guard him and he had his ass put on the bench vs LSU for not defending like Oats wants

I bet on Bama to try and help us tonight.

Line was bama -1.5 this morning, so pretty big swing. Guess others more confident is us than me

[civildawg]

If I were near a casino I would load up on Bama. I just don't see this being that close with our offensive woes and our inability to guard the 3 point line

[msstate7]

If I were near a casino I would load up on Bama. I just don't see this being that close with our offensive woes and our inability to guard the 3 point line

They're actually 13th in 3pt% in sec

[civildawg]

They haven't played us yet though. Aren't we near the bottom in all of D1 in defensive 3 pt%?

[gtowndawg]

I just had to transfer extra money to my freshman daughter to get an aftermarket student ticket. I guess the Hump really is back.

[Ranchdawg]

Yes the Hump is definitely back! My granddaughter the cheerleader at State said everyone on campus is fired up. She is cheering tonight! My son that lives in Starkville and my daughter that lives in Tupelo with her husband and son will be their tonight.

[Brobi-wan]

Being ranked and having a shot in every game will do that for us.

[StateDawg44]

Being ranked and having a shot in every game will do that for us.

Not directed at you but why does this logic not work for the people who complain about how empty the football stadium was this year?

[Brobi-wan]

Not directed at you but why does this logic not work for the people who complain about how empty the football stadium was this year?

I mean, it does work and it is true. The atmosphere is still atrocious. I have season tickets and love going, but there are some improvements that are needed. Plus a better stadium will help with recruiting. The kids do care. Especially the ones who will stay.

[RockyDog]

Good start for Brick City 12! It’s the dreads

[mparkerfd20]

Alabama getting away with murder around the rim

[LC Dawg]

****! We can't lose Melendez.

[msstate7]

Boy, this could be bad

[EdwardDrayton]

Boy, this could be bad

Very

[HoopsDawg]

Boy, this could be bad

Just looked like a rolled ankle. It's going to mean more Jones minutes

[RockyDog]

Some of yall bitch about announcer bias, this dude has been nothing but complementary of the entire team

[HoopsDawg]

Jans can't sit Harris for the rest of the half.

[msstate7]

I feel like if we play at this pace, we will lose by 15+

[mparkerfd20]

Alabama is pushing and bulling their way through the lane every trip. No doubt they are keeping it close when they getting away with that bullshit.

[HoopsDawg]

Jans going with Warren.

[msstate7]

Dangerous stretch

[msstate7]

Thank God

[LC Dawg]

Warren?

[msstate7]

Maybe clary was the better choice. Holy crap

[HoopsDawg]

Harris is not going to foul out. Put him in for Hubb!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Did Hubbard really just airball a wide open transition 3??

[CarolinaDawgs]

Hubbard has gone blind again.

[LC Dawg]

I hate SEC officials.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hubbard has gone blind again.

He found it pretty quickly.

[HoopsDawg]

Jans not happy with Kuegal. Wow.

[R2Dawg]

Total shitshow by these Bama refs. We have not chance if this continues.

[msstate7]

This pace is not our friend. We will be dead tired by the under 8 in 2nd half, and their depth will lead to a blow out.

[LC Dawg]

Are we not aware of the big white guy that plays for Bama? Seems like he would be easy to notice.

[msstate7]

Are we not aware of the big white guy that plays for Bama? Seems like he would be easy to notice.

We just can't defend bama. To be fair, hardly anyone can.

[CaptainObvious]

If we don't find a guy in black willing to make their big guy earn it from the free throw line. He may outscore State by himself. I've never seen a guy so open on almost every trip

[R2Dawg]

Bullshit call on Cam; Bama has done that 10 times and no foul

[R2Dawg]

Another BS call on Cam. They fouled him

[msstate7]

Just a terrible game plan to try and run up and down with them. Do better Saturday, jans... this is probably already over

[LC Dawg]

I'm just glad we got Melendez back. This one may get away from us but we have a lot of winnable games left.

[HoopsDawg]

This pace is not our friend. We will be dead tired by the under 8 in 2nd half, and their depth will lead to a blow out.

Nah. You overrate depth.

[HoopsDawg]

Jans biggest flaw is over protecting players with 2 fouls. He has sat Harris for the entire half. Who cares if he fouls out.

[cheewgumm]

We need to learn from how Bama gets open shots

Inside OUT

Get to the lane and dish

[Saltydog]

For all our "defensive prowess" our D actually sucks. We don't draw charges at all. They have too many shooters and guys that can create. We can't hang with them in a fast paced game. Our only shot was to ugly it up in a lower scoring game.

[RezDog7]

Same ol msu. Can't win a big game.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Great. Just 17 great.

[msstate7]

For all our "defensive prowess" our D actually sucks. We don't draw charges at all. They have too many shooters and guys that can create. We can't hang with them in a fast paced game. Our only shot was to ugly it up in a lower scoring game.

No one told our coach. This pace is a bama easy win

[mparkerfd20]

Season just ended if that's broke

[StarkVegasSteve]

We need to go ahead and pack this one in. And probably resurface the 17 court.

[HoopsDawg]

For all our "defensive prowess" our D actually sucks. We don't draw charges at all. They have too many shooters and guys that can create. We can't hang with them in a fast paced game. Our only shot was to ugly it up in a lower scoring game.

Jones has left guys open. You have to stay with their shooters on the wings.

[msstate7]

Jones has left guys open. You have to stay with their shooters on the wings.

And if we do, they lay it up. We can't defend this team, but again, hardly anyone can

[msu15]

Man we need to do a better job of maintaining our floor!! Guys are slipping and sliding all over the damn place!

[EdwardDrayton]

Same ol msu. Can't win a big game.

We simply are not a top ten team. To have an expectation that we are will only be frustrating for folks.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Orthopedic is in the tunnel with Hubbard accd to people in the building.

[msstate7]

Sears has back-to-back off rebs. This is embarrassing

[HoopsDawg]

We simply are not a top ten team. To have an expectation that we are will only be frustrating for folks.

Settle down. Bama is the 2nd best team in the country

[Saltydog]

Cam Matthews should audition if there's another "Invisible Man" movie......

[msstate7]

Orthopedic is in the tunnel with Hubbard accd to people in the building.

Clary may have been healed at church tonight

[LC Dawg]

Sears has back-to-back off rebs. This is embarrassing

Yeah, that's lack of effort by our guys. And throw in a horrible turnover by Kugel.

[EdwardDrayton]

Settle down. Bama is the 2nd best team in the country

As in top ten. Thank you for making the point.

[R2Dawg]

We are not boxing out and poor D tonight.

[HoopsDawg]

Yeah, that's lack of effort by our guys. And throw in a horrible turnover by Kugel.

Kuegel has to play better.

[R2Dawg]

I didn't think Hub looked like a bad turn. Maybe he returns.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Clary may have been healed at church tonight

Hubbard is back. Clary can go back to whatever he was doing before.

[HoopsDawg]

As in top ten. Thank you for making the point.

What is your point? Bama is a national champion contender

[CaptainObvious]

We need to learn from how Bama gets open shots

Inside OUT

Get to the lane and dish

I don't believe they would be that open if our guys truly understood what man to man is. Our guys look like 5 year olds with all 5 chasing the guy with the ball.

[msstate7]

Kuegel has to play better.

Man, that dude has insane ups-and-downs

[cheewgumm]

I don't believe they would be that open if our guys truly understood what man to man is. Our guys look like 5 year olds with all 5 chasing the guy with the ball.


If they dont protect the goal, we'll get layups.

[msstate7]

Hubbard is back. Clary can go back to whatever he was doing before.

Therapy for that "injury"

[HoopsDawg]

Warren and Jones on the floor. Tells you how pissed Jans is at Kugel

[EdwardDrayton]

What is your point? Bama is a national champion contender

Can you read? We are not a top ten caliber team so it is an unrealistic expectation to win games against top ten teams.

[RockyDog]

Sean Jones has decided to take the role of terrible game tonight.

[msu15]

Man, that dude has insane ups-and-downs

It's all internal for him. No motor, no drive. He just gets by on talent.

[1eyedog]

I’m old school, but I remember anytime you played a great athletic team is blocking out and not allowing offensive rebounding / second shots. Too many Bama rebounds and leaving the lane open....JMHO.

[msstate7]

What is your point? Bama is a national champion contender

Unfortunately for us, Auburn, Tenn, Florida, and Kentucky may be in or joining that group

[civildawg]

Bama is taking WIDE open 3's

[msu15]

Sean Jones has decided to take the role of terrible game tonight.

He's always sucked. I was hoping Jans would upgrade the roster better so he wouldn't be in the rotation.

[msstate7]

Murphy is coming up huge

[cheewgumm]

Warrren made a great pass to Murphy

[msstate7]

Good foul

[msstate7]

Warren may be growing up

[cheewgumm]

Warren is showing what he can offer..



AND IT IS GOOD

[HoopsDawg]

We go up 1 then get lazy on D.

[LC Dawg]

I hope this is a good sign for Warren going forward.

[CaptainObvious]

Why are our end of the half possessions so sloppy and unorganized?

[msstate7]

I dread seeing this 3

[R2Dawg]

Didn't even touch the guy but a foul

[1eyedog]

Lane wide open

[R2Dawg]

Warren is showing what he can offer..



AND IT IS GOOD

He has looked good.

[HoopsDawg]

Murphy with a breakdown. Damn.

[RockyDog]

Getting punked by Will Forte’s porn stache twin

[LC Dawg]

Bama's ball movement is so good.

[cheewgumm]

I'd play Warren more in the 2nd half.

In fact, I'd make him the PG going forward.

[HoopsDawg]

Lane wide open

Bad hedge by Murph.

[msstate7]

On the bright side, we held up without cam out there.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Losing Hubbard and Melendez for 4 minute stretches a piece and only being down 5 is a small victory. Still need to defend a lot better in the second half.

[cheewgumm]

He has looked good.


He's the only player on our team that will take it to the lane to create openings.

And he's good on D.

[HoopsDawg]

I'd play Warren more in the 2nd half.

In fact, I'd make him the PG going forward.

Hell no. He gave us good minutes but he'll no.

[msstate7]

Getting punked by Will Forte’s porn stache twin

That guy is one of the best players in the country

[R2Dawg]

He's the only player on our team that will take it to the lane to create openings.

And he's good on D.

Hub has driven it tonight, Harris some too. We've looked much better on O. D not been good.

[R2Dawg]

Hell no. He gave us good minutes but he'll no.

Agree he ain't ready for that.

[cheewgumm]

Hell no. He gave us good minutes but he'll no.

Why not? He's made two of the best plays iv eseen this year from a PG playmaker standpoint.

[R2Dawg]

Our O been good enough but the D has been poor. Fix D and continue the O and we can win.

[cheewgumm]

I don't see what people are seeing to say Warren is not ready.

What is he diong to show you that?

We dont have to debate it here...ill start another thread on a non game day. Ha

[PGHBulldogBG]

We just don?t have the players to compete with this unless they have a horrible night shooting like against ole miss

[CaptainObvious]

That guy is one of the best players in the country

Yep. I wish we had him. In the other hand I don't know if we have a guard that understands what should happen when the big is 5 feet from the point guard and gives him the ball and then breaks right down a wide open lane. I can't remember our SEC opponents defense leaving the lane that wide open for us.

[HoopsDawg]

Our O been good enough but the D has been poor. Fix D and continue the O and we can win.

We have to get better play from Kugel. He raises our ceiling. Sometimes he's just lackadaisical out there. Almost like he's playing pick up basketball.

[CaptainObvious]

Bad hedge by Murph.
Most if our post hedges have resulted in the pornstache having a wide open lane!

[cheewgumm]

We have to get better play from Kugel. He raises our ceiling. Sometimes he's just lackadaisical out there. Almost like he's playing pick up basketball.

Yes

[LC Dawg]

Bama is very good. We've played ok to keep it close but we won't win unless one of our guys gets very hot. We usually start the 2nd half very well so hopefully we do tonight.

[msstate7]

Bama is very good. We've played ok to keep it close but we won't win unless one of our guys gets very hot. We usually start the 2nd half very well so hopefully we do tonight.

Probably need 2 to get/stay hot - kugel and Hubbard

[StarkVegasSteve]

Probably need 2 to get/stay hot - kugel and Hubbard

Kugel has to be one of them. Hubbard or Harris probably need to be the others. Also would be nice to get Matthews going a bit. He has 3 pts in the last 65 minutes of gameplay.

[R2Dawg]

What is wrong with Cam? An other time he dunks that ball?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Cam needs to dunk the shit out of that. Put it on that kid’s head.

[msstate7]

Cam, can you dunk?

[LC Dawg]

Why does Cam not dunk that?

[msstate7]

The big 3s won't fall

[StarkVegasSteve]

The big 3s won't fall

And that will probably be the story of the night.

[msstate7]

And that will probably be the story of the night.

Yep, and they hit the big shot anytime they have to

[HoopsDawg]

Good grief Kugel. Come on man. Play ball.

[HoopsDawg]

Good grief Kugel. Come on man. Play ball.

You can't go under the screen!!! Bama does not take midrange shots.

[LC Dawg]

Looks like it's one of "those" games from Kugel.

[msstate7]

I wish the earth would open up and swallow the entire bama basketball team. Those guys from the HC down are the biggest crybaby bitches in the world about the refs

[HoopsDawg]

The big 3s won't fall

RJ is supposed to be money on the corner 3s.

[MoreCowbell]

Kugel either plays with extreme swag and confidence or like he forgot they had a game that day. Like no in between.

[msstate7]

Looks like it's one of "those" games from Kugel.

Just sit him: you can tell what you will get from him in about 5 mins.

[CaptainObvious]

Good grief Kugel. Come on man. Play ball.

He gets a steal and then pusses out in his way for a layup and then gets the ball taken away then loses his many for an open 3. Drugs are a turrible thing!

[StarkVegasSteve]

RJ is supposed to be money on the corner 3s.

Well he hasn’t been for a few games now. It really is only Hubbard, Harris, and Kugel.

[RockyDog]

Not a good game for crap Kugel to reappear

[StarkVegasSteve]

We can’t keep trading 2s for their 3s.

[RockyDog]

It’s the same as all previous Jans teams. We don’t have enough BASKETBALL players to compete in the top quarter of the conference.

[MoreCowbell]

Dude Bama is so good. Sears is rock solid. Will likely go with them for my usual Tournament champ futures bet

[parabrave]

Dam hub where haa this been the last month.

[msstate7]

Anytime they need a basket, they get it. Story of this rivalry since oats got there

[R2Dawg]

Sears walks all the time and they will not call it.

[StarkVegasSteve]

It is incredible that we have a huge run and they pan to behind Bama’s basket and over half that area is sitting. We are playing the damn number 4 team in the country. If you are able to, for the love of god stand up and make noise.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Dude Bama is so good. Sears is rock solid. Will likely go with them for my usual Tournament champ futures bet

They are not the same Bama team. I watched North Dakota light them up with one guy early in the year. Hell we are basically doing it with Hubbard and Murphy.

[msstate7]

Dude Bama is so good. Sears is rock solid. Will likely go with them for my usual Tournament champ futures bet

I'll probably go with Tenn. I think Auburn and bama are better, but I think Tenn hasn't peaked like the other two

[LC Dawg]

I like our fight.

[msstate7]

Wish we could get Bama like OM got em. We never get a top team to play like complete crap

[EdwardDrayton]

Well, the first three of the top four teams in the SEC starts #1, #4 and #5 in the nation. Almost no one in the nation really has the players to compete.

[MoreCowbell]

They are not the same Bama team. I watched North Dakota light them up with one guy early in the year. Hell we are basically doing it with Hubbard and Murphy.


I mean Bama is elite but ok

[StarkVegasSteve]

Wish we could get Bama like OM got em. We never get a top team to play like complete crap

OM’s D caused a lot of that. They have not played D like that since.

[MoreCowbell]

I'll probably go with Tenn. I think Auburn and bama are better, but I think Tenn hasn't peaked like the other two

Barnes teams are soft. Shows up in tourney

[StarkVegasSteve]

We need 40 from Hubbard.

[msstate7]

Tying or lead 3 won't fall

[StarkVegasSteve]

Bama giving away that TO could be something to monitor moving forward. Only one left now for the final 10:30

[StarkVegasSteve]

Man you can tell Jans wants this one BAD.

[msstate7]

Barnes teams are soft. Shows up in tourney

I like the Lanier and zeigler combo

[R2Dawg]

Hubbard is Back

[StarkVegasSteve]

Tying or lead 3 won't fall

Old school 3 pt play did the trick though.

[parabrave]

Way to drive and get the foul.

[EdwardDrayton]

We need 40 from Hubbard.

Yep

[R2Dawg]

Need Cam to turn into Cam now.

[parabrave]

Fuc67uhb

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well well well. Welcome back Josh Hubbard

[StarkVegasSteve]

Yep

Might need 50.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Every. 17. Time. DAMMIT

[msstate7]

When Hubbard is great, we're really damn good

[parabrave]

Nwoko

[StarkVegasSteve]

Don’t worry everyone. All the geriatrics are all STILL sitting on their ass and sitting on their hands. IMO this and the OM game need to be the indictment to move the students behind both baskets.

[msstate7]

Kugel and cam, we need you

[StarkVegasSteve]

Kugel and cam, we need you

Probably need both. And Melendez too.

[CaptainObvious]

Don’t worry everyone. All the geriatrics are all STILL sitting on their ass and sitting on their hands. IMO this and the OM game need to be the indictment to move the students behind both baskets.

Naw. Give the students the sidelines and put the geriatrics in the rafters. That way they don't have to yell "down in front"

[StarkVegasSteve]

Naw. Give the students the sidelines and put the geriatrics in the rafters. That way they don't have to yell "down in front"

I agree with that as well.

[LC Dawg]

Whatever they gave Hubbard for the tweaked ankle they need to double up on.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Bad possession there.

[HoopsDawg]

Why is Hubbard and our guards sagging on D?! Get in their grills.

[msstate7]

Youngblood entering the game...
8 pts/game
30% from 3

[StarkVegasSteve]

Update: In all honesty we are probably going to need 45-50 from Hubbard to win this one. They have so many weapons that are of course careering it tonight and Hubbard is basically it for us.

[cheewgumm]

Williams just said Yoingblood has 18 threes on the year?

6 tonight

[msstate7]

I hate that jones 3

[StarkVegasSteve]

I hate that jones 3

Bad shot selection but great job by Nwoko.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hubb puttin' on a show

[HoopsDawg]

Hubb playing awful D

[msstate7]

Youngblood turning into Reggie miller is the most Miss state thing ever

[mparkerfd20]

Time to take one for the team and take out Youngblood

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hubbard is just on another level tonight. Unfortunately as per usual, a guy that has not shot well all year is careering it from 3. What’s new.

[msstate7]

Hubb playing awful D

He's probably gassed

[StarkVegasSteve]

Guy averages just a little less than 2 threes a game on the year and has 7 tonight. You cannot make this shit up.

[msstate7]

Hubbard
Harris
Melendez
Cam
Murphy

Roll with them the rest of the game

[EdwardDrayton]

Hubb playing awful D

I'll forgive him if he sinks the winner. :)

[msstate7]

It's ok to shoot, kugel

[StarkVegasSteve]

Kugel just cost us the game.

[msstate7]

Hubbard
Harris
Melendez
Cam
Murphy

Roll with them the rest of the game

He went kugel instead, and he was terrible

[LC Dawg]

Why is Kugel in the game?

[StarkVegasSteve]

111 seconds left. They cannot score again.

[HoopsDawg]

Youngblood turning into Reggie miller is the most Miss state thing ever

Cam! What the heck!!! Close out. Can't be flat footed

[msstate7]

They actually reviewed bc bama told them to. WTF

[StarkVegasSteve]

They actually reviewed bc bama told them to. WTF

They wanted a free TO so they convinced them to review it. That was bullshit.

[msstate7]

Get kugel out!

[StarkVegasSteve]

GET KUGEL OUT OF THE GAME.

[msstate7]

Kugel over Melendez was the nail

[StarkVegasSteve]

This feels like the UK game all over again.

[EdwardDrayton]

This feels like the UK game all over again.

^^^^^^^

[msstate7]

GET KUGEL OUT OF THE GAME.

Again, you can watch his first 5 mins to know whether he should play or not. Complete dog shit or future nba guy, and there is no in between

[StarkVegasSteve]

Again, you can watch his first 5 mins to know whether he should play or not. Complete dog shit or future nba guy, and there is no in between

I feel like Melendez injury must have really started bothering him again because we have not seen him again.

[msstate7]

I feel like Melendez injury must have really started bothering him again because we have not seen him again.

Could be

[msstate7]

Murphy was squating down yo the floor on that block out

[StarkVegasSteve]

Of course. Cannot block out.

[EdwardDrayton]

Unbelievable

[StarkVegasSteve]

JUST 17 DUNK IT GD

[msstate7]

Cam and Murphy both tried to lay it up in the 2nd half instead of slamming. That's the loss

[R2Dawg]

Typcial State finish

[msstate7]

They won't allow a 3.

[R2Dawg]

We are the most cursed program ever

[RockyDog]

What a choke. No excuse for THIS team to lose 2 or more home games. JOKE

[Quaoarsking]

We are good, just incredibly un-clutch.

[R2Dawg]

We gave this game away. Will costt us in post season

[StarkVegasSteve]

Why the 17 is that ball even in Kugel’s hands to begin with.

[msstate7]

Kugel is in the middle of every TO

[msu15]

I feel bad for anyone who expected a different outcome. Better coach. Better program. Better style,

[RezDog7]

Like I said, same ol MSU. Just another choke job. Just expect choking at this point.

[Dawgology]

As usual. Moment is always too big for Mississippi State. Always.

[msstate7]

What a choke. No excuse for THIS team to lose 2 or more home games. JOKE

Will you please jump off a building?

[StarkVegasSteve]

We will let that loss beat us on Saturday and probably in the next one as well.

[CarolinaDawgs]

Cannot keep allowing teams to shoot 40%+ from 3. It?s almost impossible to win.

It?s actually insanely impressive we?ve been in these games.

[EdwardDrayton]

What could've been. Love the fight in our guys nonetheless.

[MoreCowbell]

Kugel just cost us the game.

He really did, no hyperbole. This loss is legit on Kugel. He had at have had 5 turnovers

[LC Dawg]

Better program won the game.
As bad as it sucks I think games like this will help us later in the year and in the NCAA tournament.
If we win Saturday against Missouri we're still in good shape.

[Political Hack]

That sucks. We're really good.

[Saltydog]

MSU basketball always the bridesmaid.

[EdwardDrayton]

Will you please jump off a building?

I'd prefer to push him.

[BankerDog]

Cam not contesting Gavin Nelson?s 3 changed the ending. Cannot believe Murphy missed that layup at the end. Just unbelievable. Someone said it earlier?we are the most un-clutch athletic program in America.

[NCMSTFAN]

Sick of losing like this! We can't seem to beat the better teams!

[msstate7]

We will let that loss beat us on Saturday and probably in the next one as well.

I think this is the springboard Hubbard needed to get us at the level we should be. I think we take care of business Saturday... mizzou ain't bama

[MoreCowbell]

UK all over again. We will never beat a 3 point team

[ZedFedder]

Murphy was fouled.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Better program won the game.
As bad as it sucks I think games like this will help us later in the year and in the NCAA tournament.
If we win Saturday against Missouri we're still in good shape.

We will not win Saturday. You can put whatever amount of money you want on Mizzou and will win. We did the same thing last year with the Kentucky game. We let it linger. We will do the exact same this time. Very real possibility we lose the next 6. No game to get our confidence back. Is what it is in this league.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Murphy was fouled.

If he would have dunked the damn ball like every other 6’10 player in the GD country it would not have mattered.

[cheewgumm]

As much as that?s sucked, the more important fact is

HUBBARD is BACK!

We can now try to reach our potential at full strength.

[HoopsDawg]

Cam not contesting Gavin Nelson?s 3 changed the ending. Cannot believe Murphy missed that layup at the end. Just unbelievable. Someone said it earlier?we are the most un-clutch athletic program in America.

Very disappointed in Cams effort on that corner 3. And he's my guy.

[StarkVegasSteve]

As much as that?s sucked, the more important fact is

HUBBARD is BACK!

We can now try to reach our potential at full strength.

For now he is. I mean how many more games is he going to have to shoulder all the offense? Matthews has reverted back to his non offensive self, Kugel is Jekkyl and Hyde, Melendez all of a sudden cannot make a shot, and Harris barely shoots. That leaves Nwoko who cannot shoot outside of 6 ft and Murphy. And it is no telling where Murphy’s confidence will be after tonight.

Very disappointed in Cams effort on that corner 3. And he's my guy.

And his breakaway that he tried to lay up like Danny ainge

Sick of losing like this! We can't seem to beat the better teams!

This would have been a huge win for seeding but we are good. The tournament is all about your draw and getting hot at the right time. I just want to avoid the Auburn and Alabama bracket.

As much as that?s sucked, the more important fact is

HUBBARD is BACK!

We can now try to reach our potential at full strength.

I hope he is but not sure one game is enough to know he will continue to be.

And his breakaway that he tried to lay up like Danny ainge

That was inexplicable.

He just has not played like the same player since about Kentucky.

We will not win Saturday. You can put whatever amount of money you want on Mizzou and will win. We did the same thing last year with the Kentucky game. We let it linger. We will do the exact same this time. Very real possibility we lose the next 6. No game to get our confidence back. Is what it is in this league.

We?ll see Saturday

And would have been a huge win to ease the pressure of having to win every single game we're supposed to win.

Really doesn't matter as long as we stay 4 or 5-line. Sweet 16 is my realistic goal

We are on that border already. I think we probably end up a 7. We have 3 potential but the clutch factor of an under .500 team.

Take a step back from the ledge.
