The northern Tiger game

[parabrave]

2-2 to start. Quit popping up 3s Melendez. Well they don't miss 5=2 now.

[EdwardDrayton]

Melendez needs to add some lbs in the offseason.

[EdwardDrayton]

We better find some defense in a big hurry.

[parabrave]

Hubb you're going to have to get into the Key tonite and get the old fashioned 3.

[chef dixon]

Melendez needs to add some lbs in the offseason.

Isn't he a real senior?

[EdwardDrayton]

Isn't he a real senior?

Not sure. Thought he has another year of eligibility. But not sure.

[parabrave]

Dam they are killing us on the boards.

[LC Dawg]

Kugel should probably sit the rest of the game.

[Dawgology]

Kugel needs to chill on the bench a couple games. Jeez. He’s been off for like a month or two

[EdwardDrayton]

We are hanging on to this game by our fingertips.

[PGHBulldogBG]

This is just an awful match up for us I would?ve much rather had Ole Miss aTm or even Tennessee

[HoopsDawg]

Kugel should probably sit the rest of the game.

Jans begs him to play defense and he just won't do it.

[EdwardDrayton]

Clawed our way back.

[chef dixon]

I've got a feeling we are going to take control in the second half

[R2Dawg]

Shawn Jones is dominating both ends of the floor. Dude just gets after it.

[EdwardDrayton]

Jans has the right mindset. He needs us to play full on gladiator. This is a war.

[HoopsDawg]

These reviews are out of control

[chef dixon]

Hubbard needs to quit doing that hook shit. He got lucky there. He doesn't even need to do it

[EdwardDrayton]

Murph keeping us in it.

[LC Dawg]

I've watched this entire half and I have no idea how we are this close.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Saw that three coming from the time we were inbounding

[cheewgumm]

How do you leave him open?

[EdwardDrayton]

I've watched this entire half and I have no idea how we are this close.

Gospel truth

[R2Dawg]

How do you leave him open?

Dumbest team IQ; one guy you can't leave open and hes wide open.

[parabrave]

I've watched this entire half and I have no idea how we are this close.

Keyshawn Murphy is he reason.

[EdwardDrayton]

Clawed our way back into off some turnovers. But Hubbard those last ten or twelve minutes, oof.

[EdwardDrayton]

Keyshawn Murphy is he reason.

No doubt

[HoopsDawg]

Mizzou is pretty damn good

[EdwardDrayton]

Mizzou is pretty damn good

Yes they are and they are a physical matchup nightmare for us.

[Ranchdawg]

And zoo plays straight up thug ball.

[Tater]

Can we come out of a half swinging. Maybe take the lead back. We really need the confidence boost here. I expect our dead legs will show even more than the fast break disparity already shows in the second half. So can we give the last spurt this first 4.

[EdwardDrayton]

Absolutely need to come out swinging. We stepped up our defense but we need to stop the fast break points. Continue to pound the paint for our points.

[EdwardDrayton]

DAMN!! We can be so stupid at times.

[EdwardDrayton]

STOP WITH THE 17ING THREES!!!!

[Tater]

Absolutely need to come out swinging. We stepped up our defense but we need to stop the fast break points. Continue to pound the paint for our points.

Came out swinging. Still have the cursed open 3 miss. But good first four.

Let's win the next four.

[Saltydog]

Riley Kugel may be the worst passer in the history of the game of basketball.........

[EdwardDrayton]

Came out swinging. Still have the cursed open 3 miss. But good first four.

Let's win the next four.

Yes! We started so well and then Murph tries to take on a double team. And then we jack threes. Stay with what's been working.

[Tater]

Yes! We started so well and then Murph tries to take on a double team. And then we jack threes. Stay with what's been working.

Kugel has had a bad O Kugel game. But his defense is starting to pick up.

lol at their white boy thinking he's Max McClung

[EdwardDrayton]

I swear this team is going to cause an alien to emerge from my skull.

[LC Dawg]

Has Kugel even hit the rim on a shot?

[Tater]

Has Kugel even hit the rim on a shot?

nope. was very clear early on he doesn't have the O and is a black hole there tonight. but he has gotten better at being another cam matthews lite with his defense on his bad O nights.

[EdwardDrayton]

Gotta get Claudell out.

[Tater]

I swear to **** I can't wait to not have SEC refs. I hate the dumbassery they officiate with. Officiate the result and over review.

Harris ****ed up us winning that four. Legs are starting to look dead.

[R2Dawg]

How many times every game do we give up O rebound on FT? I'd make them run up and down the Hump stairs 3 times every time that happens. Peewee leagues know how to box out on FT.

[R2Dawg]

I swear to **** I can't wait to not have SEC refs. I hate the dumbassery they officiate with. Officiate the result and over review.

Harris ****ed up us winning that four. Legs are starting to look dead.

You got that right. They have called some BS fouls on us and we've been hammered in the paint all night are won't call it.

[R2Dawg]

We have poor effort by too many players. We've seen it in the SECT when Jans has lit them up they respond. I knew we used up too many 3s last night. We can't hit jack tonight.

[Tater]

How many times every game do we give up O rebound on FT? I'd make them run up and down the Hump stairs 3 times every time that happens. Peewee leagues know how to box out on FT.

This official hasn't called an elbow to the rib (on either team) inside the paint all night. It's harder than you think.

[Tater]

OH MY GOD THAT SHRUG. ALEXA CLIP THAT

[Tater]

I've never seen something that encompasses SEC refs more than that

[EdwardDrayton]

MELENDEZ!!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

LOVE THE FIGHT IN OUR DAWGS!!!

[Tater]

This has been 10 of the hardest effort minutes I've seen outside of games against Ole Miss this year for us. Not pretty. But some serious heart.

[Tater]

God if we could hit an open 3 at a 50% clip we would be a top 5 team.

[EdwardDrayton]

This has been 10 of the hardest effort minutes I've seen outside of games against Ole Miss this year for us. Not pretty. But some serious heart.

AMEN!!! It's a war. It's not our type of game and we don't match up physically very well but oh what heart!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

God if we could hit an open 3 at a 50% clip we would be a top 5 team.

I'd welcome even 38%.

[Tater]

Won that four.

Win this next four.

[Tater]

Hell. This sets up like basically an OT scenario. Let's build confidence and win a close game. We didn't come this far just to come this far.

[Saltydog]

I hope it doesn't happen but I'm preparing myself for a heartbreaking loss.....

[Tater]

This really does feel like a sweet 16 slugfest.

5:18 left. Basically OT

[chef dixon]

In your ****ing grill white boy

[chef dixon]

T his stupid ass up

[Tater]

Josh ****ing hubbard.

Crazy guard play carries cinderella in march

[LC Dawg]

Ha! **** you Crews!

[Tater]

bruh. fire this ref

[R2Dawg]

LOVE THE FIGHT IN OUR DAWGS!!!

Agree. These Dawgs got some fight and bite. Gives me hope for next tourney.

[R2Dawg]

Hang on last possession game coming.

[EdwardDrayton]

What a game.

[msstate7]

Mizzou is shooting 50% at the under 4 time out. We are horrible defensively

[Tater]

Mizzou is shooting 50% at the under 4 time out. We are horrible defensively

I'm gonna assume this is sarcasm and you're mocking someone that I'm not up to date on. Let me know if it's actually a sped post

[chef dixon]

As always. Coming down to shooting. 24% from 3 and 68% from the line. If we are 33% and 75% we are up by 10

[Tater]

Alright. We won first four, they won second, we won third, they won fourth.

Let's win this last four. And by 3+. We need the confidence of closing out a close win.

[R2Dawg]

As always. Coming down to shooting. 24% from 3 and 68% from the line. If we are 33% and 75% we are up by 10

Yep win easy if just an average shooting night for us.

[Tater]

This ref swallowed the whistle to keep Shaw in the game. Ridiculous. Watch the elbows

[msstate7]

Again, our D is pathetic

[Saltydog]

We can't beat them.........

[chef dixon]

And gets away with an arm bar on that lay up

[HoopsDawg]

Don't get the rebound then blow a layup. Ballgame

[Tater]

We gotta learn to use off arm more when refs decide to screw us.

[maroonmania]

Oh well, too bad we can't play LSU every game.

[LC Dawg]

Don't get the rebound then blow a layup. Ballgame

And we do that multiple times in games.

[EdwardDrayton]

Again, our D is pathetic

That's just not been the case in this game.

[HoopsDawg]

I was really hoping to get off the 8/9 line

[EdwardDrayton]

And we do that multiple times in games.

Just can't miss point blank in the paint in the closing minutes. Especially and allow it on the other end.

[Tater]

We can't beat them.........

We've never been able to beat SEC refs. They took over when Shaw just shoved Keyshawn to the ground for what should have been probably his 12th foul and foul him out on a 5th called foul.

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh well, too bad we can't play LSU every game.

Make no mistake, Mizzou is very good but, yes, LSU is not.

[msstate7]

That's just not been the case in this game.

I guess. They're shooting 50%, and no team in the sec avgs that number.

[StateDawg44]

We've never been able to beat SEC refs. They took over when Shaw just shoved Keyshawn to the ground for what should have been probably his 12th foul and foul him out on a 5th called foul.

You blame the refs for this finish?

[msstate7]

And then when they miss, we can't get rebound, and get lucky they miss a gimmee

[chef dixon]

Did that actually touch?

[maroonmania]

Our rebound positioning is horrible. We don't block out anyone.

[EdwardDrayton]

I guess. They're shooting 50%, and no team in the sec avgs that number.

Think you'll find the fast break points in the first half skews that a bit.

[Tater]

lollololololollllll

[LC Dawg]

Our defense is bad but there are many times that bad offense leads to easy points for our opponents.

[msstate7]

We couldn't get a stop if they let us use 7 guys

[Tater]

You blame the refs for this finish?

Yes. The pivotal 4 point swing of giving Shaw two FTs instead of us 2 FTs and him fouled out swung the game.

If you can bull in china shop on rebounds then you're going to win.

[maroonmania]

Basically destroyed after we got the lead at 68-67

[msstate7]

Our defense is bad but there are many times that bad offense leads to easy points for our opponents.

Haven't they scored like their last 6-7 possessions?

[maroonmania]

Our worst basketball ALWAYS happens in the last 3 minutes of regulation in every game.

[HoopsDawg]

We played horribly but still had a chance so I guess that's a positive

[CarolinaDawgs]

No stop Jans back at it again.

[State82]

Oh well, too bad we can't play LSU every game.

LSU will be our last win this season.

[EdwardDrayton]

We didn't do quite enough to win but this is a far cry from the embarrassing loss to them in Starkvegas. We fought with everything we had. Proud of our Dawgs.

[HoopsDawg]

Our rebound positioning is horrible. We don't block out anyone.

Several times we had 4 guys blocking out and 1 guy blocking air.

[HoopsDawg]

We didn't do quite enough to win but this is a far cry from the embarrassing loss to them in Starkvegas. We fought with everything we had. Proud of our Dawgs.

Ready to see us play a non-sec team

[LC Dawg]

Haven't they scored like their last 6-7 possessions?

I was referring to earlier in the game. We miss wide open shots or point blank shots and they rebound and run the floor for easy shots.

[EdwardDrayton]

We played horribly but still had a chance so I guess that's a positive

No we did not. We just didn't do quite enough to win.

[civildawg]

I can't wait to bet against this team next week

[msstate7]

Ready to see us play a non-sec team

They'll pair us with a team that shoots 50% from 3 for the season haha

[ZedFedder]

Team played hard and well tonight.

[EdwardDrayton]

Our worst basketball ALWAYS happens in the last 3 minutes of regulation in every game.

Don't know about ALWAYS but certainly this last three minutes killed us.

[HoopsDawg]

They'll pair us with a team that shoots 50% from 3 for the season haha

Probably

[Tater]

Haven't they scored like their last 6-7 possessions?

Lebron, MJ, Rodman, Olajuwon, and Pippen would struggle to get a stop if the other team could moving screen at will and shove them to the ground on rebounds without being called.

Oh well. Win the next six. That's it.

[maroonmania]

Don't know about ALWAYS but certainly this last three minutes killed us.

Have you watched our games? ALWAYS, even when we win we are hanging on for dear life.

[EdwardDrayton]

They'll pair us with a team that shoots 50% from 3 for the season haha

That's what nightmares are made of for Dawg fans.

[HoopsDawg]

No we did not. We just didn't do quite enough to win.

We were 6-30 from 3. That's horrible. But we still had a chance if we had rebounded. That's my point.

[HoopsDawg]

Kugel, RJ, and Harris were a combined 3-21 from the field. Killer. Those are our transfers.

[chef dixon]

0 buckets from Kugel hurts

[Tater]

We were 6-30 from 3. That's horrible. But we still had a chance if we had rebounded. That's my point.

Can't rebound when you're shoved to the floor and the ref is staring at the back of the backboard seeing if a ball gets within 2 feet.

[EdwardDrayton]

We were 6-30 from 3. That's horrible. But we still had a chance if we had rebounded. That's my point.

And THAT is just mind numbing. If we had consistently stayed with what was working and not resorted to the threes, we had a real chance. Not sure about the rebounding; seemed like we did OK on the offensive end rebounding for the game.

[maroonmania]

Most unclutch 'good' MSU BB team I've ever seen.

[msstate7]

I just want one more win. One win. 1 damn win! Please pull it off, and I'll call that progress...

2023 - play in game (loss)
2024 - 10 seed (loss)
2025 - 8-9 seed (hopefully win)

[msstate7]

Kugel, RJ, and Harris were a combined 3-21 from the field. Killer. Those are our transfers.

Way too inconsistent. We need to find a power 4 scorer that can do it consistently to pair with Hubbard and Murphy next season. Also get a true point

[EdwardDrayton]

Yep Hoops. We won the rebounding on the offensive end and got smoked on the defensive end. And I'd venture that it got lopsided on the defensive end late.

[Goldendawg]

Kugel, RJ, and Harris were a combined 3-21 from the field. Killer. Those are our transfers.

Those three were also 1-13 from the 3 point line. Hubbard was 3-11 from the 3 point line. Missouri shot 49.1% for the game.

[CarolinaDawgs]

And THAT is just mind numbing. If we had consistently stayed with what was working and not resorted to the threes, we had a real chance. Not sure about the rebounding; seemed like we did OK on the offensive end rebounding for the game.

The threes are so F$&cking wide open it?s tough to not shoot them. It?s the best shot we get most possessions. Just don?t have the jimmys and the joes

[chef dixon]

I just want one more win. One win. 1 damn win! Please pull it off, and I'll call that progress...

2023 - play in game (loss)
2024 - 10 seed (loss)
2025 - 8-9 seed (hopefully win)

We were an 8 last year

[EdwardDrayton]

The threes are so F$&cking wide open it?s tough to not shoot them. It?s the best shot we get most possessions. Just don?t have the jimmys and the joes

But we were having a lot of success down low. It was working. Until late when we missed point blank.

[msstate7]

We were an 8 last year

Who asked you? lol

Ok, a win shows progress. Dang, I thought we were a 10

[EdwardDrayton]

I just want one more win. One win. 1 damn win! Please pull it off, and I'll call that progress...

2023 - play in game (loss)
2024 - 10 seed (loss)
2025 - 8-9 seed (hopefully win)

Just would like the guys to be able to enjoy the feeling of a tourney win.

[msstate7]

Just would like the guys to be able to enjoy the feeling of a tourney win.

As would I. I've gotten to basically not being able to stand one of my all time favs (cam), but I really want him to get one before he goes

[Tater]

Most unclutch 'good' MSU BB team I've ever seen.

SCar 2, OM 1, Georgia, McNeese, SMU were what exactly?

[EdwardDrayton]

As would I. I've gotten to basically not being able to stand one of my all time favs (cam), but I really want him to get one before he goes

I love Cam Matthews and he will always be one of my favorites. So, yes, would like to see that smile of his celebrating a tourney win. But to be a better team, we must upgrade when he's done.

[Tater]

As would I. I've gotten to basically not being able to stand one of my all time favs (cam), but I really want him to get one before he goes

Cam helped build a foundation. His leadership and intangibles far outweigh his shortfalls.

Something tells me he's gonna be an NBA role player for the next 10 years. Just sit in a gym and shoot 1000 corner 3s a day then 1000 FTs.

[EdwardDrayton]

I would be thrilled if Cam could elevate to that level; I just think the probability is low.

[NCMSTFAN]

Rough loss. And for some reason it seems there is alot of emotions attached to this one.

[msstate7]

I need some tater juice. Or i need ears like you to have to hear something telling that fable. He is just a slightly more skilled football player than anything. Love what he plays for and stands for, but let?s not kid ourselves.

[Saltydog]

He could shoot double that and his chances of making an nba roster would still be about the same as mine for winning the Powerball.

[tcdog70]

Hub can't defend--when he shoots shitty we lose. we have had plenty of guards better than Hub. the fact we don't have a good point guard is killing us. I wish we would play 23 and Murphy at the same time. Kugel, should be replace by Russell. What does Kugel do that anyone else can't do better? the positive is we are DANCING--where strange thanks happen.

[gtowndawg]

Something tells me he's gonna be an NBA role player for the next 10 years. Just sit in a gym and shoot 1000 corner 3s a day then 1000 FTs.

I love Cam but there's zero chance of him making an NBA roster. None.

[Goldendawg]

I love Cam but there's zero chance of him making an NBA roster. None.

He might get an NFL free agent deal and become the next ex-basketball player to become a very good tight end.

[Tripp McNeely]

He might get an NFL free agent deal and become the next ex-basketball player to become a very good tight end.

Or edge rusher. I could see him being a terror versus an OT. I honestly wish that he'd walkon the football team in the fall.
