Anybody watching bball

[Thick]

We are actually looking pretty good right now. 24-17 us still in the first half.

[msstate7]

I'm watching. Achor shooting too many 3s.

[msstate7]

God almighty. We have Hubbard and Epps out there, and jones and walker wanna play one on one. Sit both of them, and chew our guards out for not going and getting the ball

[HoopsDawg]

Few thoughts:

Best energy we?ve had all year. Officials letting them play. GT sucks. Jans has taken a couple of guys out of the rotation and that has helped.

[KB21]

I'm watching. Achor shooting too many 3s.

He came in with the reputation of being a good three point shooter. Heck, he played for Bucky Ball McMillan at Samford.

Someone needs to work on that shot release though. I?m not convinced we have a shot doctor on the staff though.

[Thick]

We look better on the defensive end, especially our rotation out of the double team. Rebounding is good so far too

[Quaoarsking]

Anyone else getting a "You are not authorized to view this content." message?

Davis-Fleming might be big time before long

Yeah, I remember him in that tourney run. When we 3-4 and he's shooting 15% from 3, I want him to chill

[Thick]

Hubbard looks like shite!

[msstate7]

Hubbard just cannot score in the 1st half of games now. Unbelievable

[KB21]

Do we even have an offensive system?

[Thick]

Do we even have an offensive system?

No we don?t!

[msstate7]

Hubbard and Epps, blow this team out in the 2nd half. I want double digits from both of you in the 2nd half

[NCMSTFAN]

Davis-Fleming might be big time before long

Fleming will be a force at some point. He has all the tools you want a big to have.. He and Brandon Walker are actually the best two post options we have as of now. They both should continue getting the majority of the minutes at the 4 and 5. I know Walker can do too much at times but Ill take what Ive seen out of them 2 over what Ballard and Achor have shown us.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Walker and Davis-Fleming having good games so far is the big difference. I?m surprised we haven?t seen Ali yet. We desperately need to win this game

[CaptainObvious]

Has Jans EVER designed a successful play on the last possession of the half? I cannot remember 1. Maybe with 24.5 seconds, just go immediately into scoring mode. Even if you miss you may get the offensive rebound or put back. Whatever he draws up for the final play never works! And we all know having a Big bank a 3 pointer for the win last week was not the play drawn up!

[Thick]

We need to come out in the second and attack the basket, and avoid the patented 5-7 minute scoreless run that Jans? teams seem to always possess. Of course, we need Hubb & Epps to heat up.

[msstate7]

Epps
Hubbard
...
Davis-Fleming
Ballard/walker

Man, if we had a good option for that spot, this team's outlook would be so much better. Maybe 11 will be that guy

[msstate7]

Jones does some great things, but he's just terrible shooter

[msstate7]

I want Epps running point, not Josh

[LC Dawg]

If we can find a third consistent threat to score there is still time for this team to make some noise.

[HoopsDawg]

How the f do we keep losing Reeves

[LC Dawg]

Seems like we always make stars out of opposing players. Reeves is at his season high with 14:00 left.

[HoopsDawg]

Not happening

[msstate7]

Hubbard 1-10 from 3 last 2 games

[KB21]

Elephant in the room. Josh Hubbard is a great player, but Josh Hubbard's lack of size and point guard skills makes him a very difficult player to build around.

[msstate7]

I was feeling better, but that's over. This stretch makes my eyes hurt

[Thick]

Big 3 from Hubb

[msstate7]

Hubbard 1-10 from 3 last 2 games
And he gets 9 pts after this post in a hurry.

[msstate7]

Finish strong, dogs

[CaptainObvious]

If they can finish this one strong, they may be finding something. Aggressiveness on both ends is kind of nice to watch.

[Thick]

I like McGhee off the dribble.

[HoopsDawg]

You go get a big guard to pare him with. Instead we sign Clary last year and Epps this year. Puzzling. And definitely should have signed a 3 and D small forward.

[HoopsDawg]

No Achor this half. Interesting

[msstate7]

I really like Davis-Fleming

[parabrave]

And he gets 9 pts after this post in a hurry.

Hubs main strenght is that he is a 90+% FT shooter and he needs to lay off the 3s and go for the old fashion 3s. Which ne is deadly at

[CaptainObvious]

I like what I?m seeing tonight. The transfers have figured out it is still Josh?s team but he will feed them and let them eat if they work hard to get open or get to the goal!

[Thick]

We need to invite Lawrence Roberts and Mario Austin back to Starkville to teach our bigs how to post up?..spread out, wide base, and demand the ball. Ballard plays straight up, never bends his knees! It?s a head scratcher how we coach our bigs in my opinion.

[HoopsDawg]

Tech is really bad. And we were favored. But a road win is always a good thing.

[msstate7]

Ballard has 8 pts and 7 reb, but I feel like he's been great tonight

[HoopsDawg]

I think Jans has finally figured out who needs to be on the court and more importantly who does not.

[Thick]

Not bad, but he missed a few gimmes tonight in the post with his shoulders square to the basket. This game keeps my interest, and by far the best effort I?ve seen this year on both ends of the court. Little ?maroon & white? chant, I like it.

[msstate7]

1 down. Gotta have all 5 of the rest of our OOC games. SF next on Sunday

[DawgFromOxford]

Effort was great tonight. Both the team and the fans needed that win

Hopefully that?s a sign of what?s to come and not an outlier

[LC Dawg]

Nice win. Not sure how much to take from it. I really want us to be good at basketball and Jans has us close but this team has to get better quickly.

[NCMSTFAN]

Best win so far which really isnt saying much but I feel like we found a solid rotation with this group Jans played tonight. We still have Utah, San Francisco and Memphis left to play in non conference so we still have opportunities to get a couple more decent OOC wins before conference play starts. Those teams arent playing the greatest but we are where we are at this point and have to win games regardless.

[NCMSTFAN]

SF plays tough too

[parabrave]

I really like Davis-Fleming

And how about Brandon Walker. He has had a strong showing in his appearances so far this year. I'm glad he got the start. 11 pts 7 rebs

[msstate7]

SF plays tough too

They lost to north Alabama last night. We better win

[msstate7]

He played well. I would prefer less shots from him though

[PGHBulldogBG]

I would hope we win the rest of our non conference considering they will all be quad 3 or quad 4 games. We got the tough part behind us but I?m just not convinced outside South Carolina, Ole Miss and maybe Mizzou and UGA at home that we will win very many

[msstate7]

No one is. We need 11 and Davis-Fleming to be players by sec schedule.

[msstate7]

Don't look now, but we up 33 spots in NET this morning....






To #143 haha

For real though, keep winning and hope that number is in 70s/80s by sec play

[gtowndawg]

It's really hard to tell who the best 5 are...I think it's going to be a mix and match situation all year.

[99jc]

I thought this was a good win until i saw GT net was worse than ours.

[basedog]

Winning is all that matters right now. There are no bad wins. We played pretty good last night especially on the road. Glad to see Hubbard come alive, he and Epps are a good combo for us.

[Goldendawg]

I thought this was a good win until i saw GT net was worse than ours.

Early in the season, but have y'all noticed how well the players who left us through the portal are doing for their new teams? Heck, LSU is running their "O" through Nwoko and are undefeated with some good wins. Did they just outbid us for his services and see something in him we didn't see?
