NM game thread

[msstate7]

It's game 5, so I won't say it's a must win, but... ok, it's a must win. Come on state, man up

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm here against my better judgment to watch Mississippi State sports. *****

[msstate7]

Jones shooting early in the shot clock should land him on the bench for at least 5 mins

[msstate7]

Jans, I support you being a total ass... but if that's you, jones should sit for a long time for 2 early shot clock 3s. He should be last resort from there

[MoreCowbell]

Man we suck

[msstate7]

We should never have a lineup working Epps or Hubbard, and unless it's a lay up, no one should shoot till one of them touch the ball

[msstate7]

We aren't good, but God absolutely hates us... 3 guys in position for a rebound, but ball does stupid crap and goes straight to them

[EdwardDrayton]

Once again we are getting our a$$ handed to us in the paint.

[DawgFromOxford]

Reminder that we are a 6.5 point favorite tonight

[msstate7]

Peacock should just admit they f'n suck and never carry a game again. Don't show a highlight of 5 mins ago... show the goaltend

[Young dawg]

Our big men have to play better there is no reason for that aspect of the team to be as bad as it is

[msstate7]

Only positive I can give you is we have 5:1 assist to TO ratio so far, which is massive improvement

[LC Dawg]

We look tired but that's understandable since we've had to play 5 games in 16 days.*

[BeardoMSU]

We not very good, lol

[msstate7]

My tv will only live thru 1 more Ali 3 attempt

[msstate7]

If we lose this, and there's no reason to think we won't, let's just send Jans to games around the country to scouting for next year

[msstate7]

Epps or Hubbard ONLY!

[msstate7]

If anyone shoots before Epps or Hubbard touch the ball, pull their scholarship

[HoopsDawg]

I guess just play Hubbard and Epps 35+ per game. Develop JDF who I like, but isn?t ready for this level. And whatever on everyone else. They will all be gone next year.

[msstate7]

Take Ali's jersey

[LC Dawg]

Brandon Walker plays defense exactly like Brandon Walker would.

[msstate7]

Hubbard, Epps, wnd the 3 best defenders. None of therm can shoot unless it's a Layup.

[parabrave]

Just let Hubbard shoot. And Sorry but I have to say it even though he just made a dam good drive to the basket but Brandon Walker looks like a slimmer version of Renaldo.

[msstate7]

If Ali would stop shooting, he's ok. He's long and athletic. He isn't steph curry though, so stop f'n shooting3s

[msstate7]

Just let Hubbard shoot. And Sorry but I have to say it even though he just made a dam good drive to the basket but Brandon Walker looks like a slimmer version of Renaldo.

Epps can shoot too. I like him

[EdwardDrayton]

We not very good, lol

But we're improving. Doesn't look like they'll quite hang ninety something on us. *****

[LC Dawg]

Nice end to the half.
I don't know what Jans can do at halftime other than threaten some NIL deals if anyone other than Hubbard or Epps shoots.

[Young dawg]

Hubbard and Epps are a really nice duo. Really need one of the big men to step up

[msstate7]

I think Ballard will be fine. The problem is jones and Ali shooting it 7 times from 3

[parabrave]

Only 2 should be shooting 3s Hubbard and Epps. Ali shouldn't even attempt any shot.

[msstate7]

Only 2 should be shooting 3s Hubbard and Epps. Ali shouldn't even attempt any shot.

Unless it's a layup, right

[msstate7]

No #11 in first half. Kinda surprised by that. He and Ali sorta do the same thing though in rebounding... Ali just won't quit shooting

[EdwardDrayton]

We did get better in the last ten minutes defending in the paint. Only 2 given up after giving up 12 in the first ten.

[msstate7]

Jones just passed to a guy on the floor. Jams, do your job

[HoopsDawg]

He?s hurt

[msstate7]

He literally stood there. That wasn't a foul

[LC Dawg]

The halftime break was not good for Epps.

[msstate7]

He?s hurt

Of course he's hurt. F

[HoopsDawg]

Im predicting 3-15 conference record this year.

[msstate7]

Atta boy, McGhee

[msstate7]

Im predicting 3-15 conference record this year.

Love the optimism

[HoopsDawg]

Love the optimism

I could be too optimistic. Just my maroon colored glasses.

[msstate7]

Alternating possessions may be the gayest thing in MBK

[msstate7]

I could be too optimistic. Just my maroon colored glasses.

Haha

[EdwardDrayton]

Love the optimism

LOL

[msstate7]

Jans, jones is jokes! Sit his ass

[EdwardDrayton]

Sooo Hubb drops thirty and we're in a game. If not, well.......

I think I've seen this movie before??

[msstate7]

I'm so ready to never see jones again

[Young dawg]

10 for New Mexico is having a night dude can play

[msstate7]

Do we have anyone that can stop an unathletic statue of a big man?

[msstate7]

10 for New Mexico is having a night dude can play

He can jump literally 4". Ballard is a bust

[msstate7]

How the f is that a shooting foul

[msstate7]

How many times do we have to see jones is trash before he sits forever?

[msstate7]

This team is 100% better if jones gets cut right now

[msstate7]

Are we challenging that?

[msstate7]

Great pass, Josh,

[msstate7]

Recruiting rankings are right: jones is a trash player, and he should be cut

[msstate7]

Jans lost this game by keeping jones around. If Jans thinks jones should be here, I was probably right about Jans to start with. If jones plays again, f Jans

[HoopsDawg]

They started 3 freshmen and beat us. Ugly loss. Long season incoming.

[EdwardDrayton]

We're going to lose more than a few games. And some of them will be by ugly margins.

[msstate7]

They started 3 freshmen and beat us. Ugly loss. Long season incoming.

If jones keeps starting, I want Jans gone. Jans lost this game by playing a player that doesn't deserve to be here. F them both

[Young dawg]

The two goaltending?s came back to bite us, but that never should have mattered. Have to have more that 2 players contribute on offense

[msstate7]

Jones 25 mins 2 pts 5 fouls, missed all shots, and fouled them over and over while getting abused defensively. He's the weakest link, and Jans is too stupid to sit him

[NCMSTFAN]

If jones keeps starting, I want Jans gone. Jans lost this game by playing a player that doesn't deserve to be here. F them both

I said this a long time ago!!

[Goldendawg]

I said from the introduction of the starting lineup for game one that if Jones was one of the best we had and a starter, that this was going to be a long, losing year. He is at best the first or second man off the bench to provide a few minutes of energy and a shot in the arm if he's playing well. At this point, he is Mullen's Holloway or at this moment, taking the chance to be torn apart on this site, Lebby's Shapen.***

When I said this people told me he was our hard nosed player, our glue guy etc.. Ive said this all along about Jones

He's not one of our best. Ali, even though he shot way too much, out-produced jones. I'm a Jans' guy, but if he can't be a man and stop playing a guy he likes, send him on down the road. Jones is jokes, and we can't win shit with a juco player getting starter mins

[PGHBulldogBG]

I truly don?t think any of these players even have much potential to be that good outside Hubbard and Eppes not counting the 2 freshman. I just can?t figure out if Jans just completely missed in the portal and did bad evaluations or if this comes back to a NIL problem and we went cheap.

[msstate7]

This season is over. Here's your mulligan, Jans. I want the house cleaned though. This isn't acceptable, and you better win next season or grab a woman's ass and get on down. I'm pissed

[BeardoMSU]

Yup. We blow.

Yep, 5 games in and this season is essentially done. Going to be easy to get a ticket in the Hump this season. At this point I will be surprised if we win more than 6 conference games.

He is also a walk-on, but I guess Jans saw a potential starter that no one else did in a year or two, since he seems to be his favorite.

[maroonmania]

6 sec wins? lol

Well, just trying to leave some room for optimism that Jans can pull this crapshow together. 6-12 would be on the top end with significant improvement. Without any improvement we will lucky to win any SEC games.

That would be a miracle. My over/under is 3.5 and I?m taking the under.

Id probably start Hubb, Epps, Ali, #11, and JDF. See if those last 3 are worth keeping and try again next year. We spun the NIL wheel and lost.

I agree Jans deserves a mulligan. We will see if he can course correct.

[Thick]

We should keep him another 2 years, bc that?s the most MSU thing EVER! He sucks, and you can take that ?we made the tourney 3 straight years??..and file it in the ?nobody who knows anything cares?! **** the Dentist (terrible bball nickname)! It?s funny how Jans gets a break after being here 4 years (we suck), but Lebby who inherited a real shit show and we?ve definitely improved after 2 years dumbasses want his head on a pike! 17ing retarded MSU fanbase!

I feel like we are as lazy as Jans scouting the portal calling #11 #11. Haha

Why is his name so hard to remember?

Shut up. He deserves another year. Hopefully he takes advantage of it

Not sure how you can move on from a coach that has 3 straight NCAA tourney appearances prior to this year but we are definitely spiraling in the wrong direction.

We're terrible. Still, he deserves a chance to fix it

[tcdog70]

Our best 5 IMHO

11, Hub, Epps, Ali, 15
