State vs. SMU Men' basketball thread

[NCMSTFAN]

We need this game badly. SMU is 7-0..

[NCMSTFAN]

Epps is back and is starting.

[msstate7]

Big swing in line the last couple hours. It was smu -1.5 and now it's state -1.5. Glad some believe in us.

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh geez. Another Mississippi State sporting event to cause me consternation and heartache. In the same day. *****

[cheewgumm]

We have to start 3 guards because we decide to recruit defensive ( supposedly) players so we don?t even have 3 guys who can score enough to keep us in games.

I?ve every team triple teams Hubbard we?ll be lucky to score 59 a game.

Yep.

[msstate7]

Hubbard just giving us nothing again tonight in the first half. His inconsistency is annoying

[NCMSTFAN]

Glad Epps is back, we need him playing this way.. hoping we can pull this one out, we need it

If Hubbard gets it together, I like our chances

We're controlling down low. Hubb not feelin' it yet from three but with three rebounds and two assists. Epps picking him up with 15. Just need to keep on.

[HoopsDawg]

Jans has tightened up the rotation and made some defensive adjustments. Working so far.

[msstate7]

Ballard and achor combo makes my eyes hurt

[msstate7]

McGhee playing well in back-to-back games is getting me excited. We know Epps and Hubbard can score, but another scorer could turn this season around

[msstate7]

Jans, you have to sit jones for taking 3s

[msstate7]

Just dumbfounded that jones keeps setting up from 3 and we keep passing it to him

[msstate7]

Achor gets pulled down and has a foul called on him. That horrible call leads to 4 points

[msstate7]

Jans, tell jones to never shoot a 3 again

[msstate7]

These refs. Man, seriously

[msstate7]

Unbelievable. Jans, that's the best you can come up with there. And you better jones the next 3 he takes will have him throwing up a thumb hitchhiking back to Houston.

[State82]

That was an abysmally horrible last possession. Awful.

[msstate7]

Jones is a plague on this program

[msstate7]

Hubbard disappearing again.

[msstate7]

Josh Hubbard is a joke

[msstate7]

The last 13:11, Hubbard has 3 TOs and 2 pts

[EdwardDrayton]

Once again, we just need to open up our wallets. It's us fans fault we don't buy enough talent. For a coach and players. *****

[State82]

What a 17ing clown show.

[Charlie_Sheen420]

Just shut all athletics down and put us all out of our misery

[BeardoMSU]

We suck shit.

Our entire identity is based around an undersided defensive liability that is only effective when he drops 40. Yay.

[msstate7]

Had a chance to turn this season around, and Hubbard shit his pants. He last scored with 8:55 left in 2nd half. Way to go, AA.

And Jans, sit jones forever. Dude is constantly taking shots in big spots and missing them. He sucks, and if you can't see that, get on down

[Saltydog]

We need this game badly. SMU is 7-0..

We're the worst team in the SEC. 4 to 5 wins in the league, shades of Ricky Ray.

You're not wrong

[PGHBulldogBG]

Our wins are against 3 bad teams, one of those being in OT. Basically anyone we have played with a pulse we lose. We are about to be 6-7 going into SEC play and that?s assuming we can beat Memphis which is probably 50/50 at best.

Hubbard.

This $hit is getting 17ing old.

I agree with all of this.. its absolutely ridiculous

[PGHBulldogBG]

Outside of maybe South Carolina and possibly pull a win out against OU, UGA or OM at home I don?t see any other possible wins on the schedule.

Preach brother.

Yes sir it is... I used to take up for Hubbard but I can't anymore

[msstate7]

You know what's gonna happen. We will make a regional and get ousted the first weekend. I seriously wanna visit a hyponotist that can make me sick any time I even think of this god forsaken athletic program. This shit is beyond pathetic. I need to take my NIL contribution and give it to Shriners or someone that will do something with it other than bend me over

[NCMSTFAN]

Please God let baseball season deliver us from this hell....**

Basketball is my favorite State sport so this pisses me off more than anything else.

[NCMSTFAN]

Dont write our girls team off, they are 6-1 with a good win against a very good Davidson team who only lost by 2 points to #7 Baylor. Our only loss was against an undefeated Texas Tech team that beat us by 7 and we had a huge lead in that game. We will take some lumps because of the youth and inexperience but our girls can be good... they need the support more at this point

[NCMSTFAN]

Alot of yall were worried about Jans leaving. He isnt going anywhere anytime soon. And what makes this worse in Ole Miss looks really good in basketball too

[maroonmania]

Exactly, surprised anyone thought we had a legitimate shot at winning tonight. Gonna be a long season.

Ole Miss doesn?t look that great so far. They lost to a bubble team in Iowa and a bad Utah team. To be fair, I am sure we will lose to Utah too but they still aren?t very good and 120 in KenPom

[HoopsDawg]

Tonight was our best played game of the year. Jans finally made some adjustments to our rotations and how we have defended. Unfortunately, we missed some key free throws late and crapped the bed on the final possession.

[NCMSTFAN]

I didn't know they lost to Utah but they did beat Memphis and beat SE Louisiana by 30.. we barely beat SE Louisiana. Ole Miss will have a good team, Beard will have them in the thick of things. Id take 5-2 over 3-4 all day

[Turfdawg67]

Please God let baseball season deliver us from this hell....**

Knowing us, BOC will have some issue and have to step down or something and we'll miss a regional. Lolz

They are good. They signed a pro that is really good + a good player from Kansas

[DawgFromOxford]

Didn?t catch all of the game but looking at the box score we made 3 FGs in the final 11 minutes. Pitiful

[EdwardDrayton]

Wouldn't that be as Course says so Misipy Tate.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Beard will probably have them rolling some SEC play, but that Utah loss is going to be a quad 3 loss and they don?t have any quad 1 or 2 wins yet. So they are essentially in the same boat as us right now.

[NCMSTFAN]

Im watching LSU vs Depaul.... Nwoko has 13 points right now and is leading the team in scoring at 19 ppg. They know how to use him! They run offense through him and he delivers. I ask again, how are guys leaving State and going elsewhere being the go to player?

Yea, wish we still had him but looks like he made a good decision for himself. He definitely wouldn't be scoring like that in our offense.

Because other teams actually run offenses unlike Jans, and guys tend to play better when their coach is not constantly chewing their asses out. Jans needs to change his approach or this will continue to happen annually. The portal giveth and the portal taketh away and it?s all on players terms!

I completely agree bro! I see the difference, Jans is a hard nosed coach but it doesn't translate well. The yelling and cussing at kids doesn't work

[msstate7]

McMahon at lsu: 51-53 (14-40 sec)

Yeah, he's much better than Jans

[EdwardDrayton]

The issue is it can't be a SINGULAR style approach. Some kids will be motivated with that approach and others won't. It can't be just one way. All good leaders understand this. It was Bobby Knight's downfall because he wouldn't change either.

Well Jans ain't Bobby Knight. The yelling and cussing with losses looks bad. No one will want to play this way. Jans has to figure it out but yelling at players obviously isn't going to get us wins. Players are leaving his program and performing so much better. Thats on him

[msstate7]

Epps is scoring more than last year under Jans. I think it's way too early to compare full season stats with less than 20% of season stats.

Winning can hide a lot of sins. Losing gets scrutinized.
