MBK sec opened at Texas game thread

[msstate7]

Please surprise me

[PGHBulldogBG]

Not much success for any SEC teams outside Vandy so far today on the road.

[Tater]

Shawn Jones starting. Jans going back on an idea that worked. Cool

[msstate7]

Pretty solid start. Gotta get something from our bigs

[Political Hack]

Our G's have to defend and rebound defensively. Seeing balls hit the floor off the rim with no G's moving toward the ball pisses me off more than anything else on the court. If you're too lazy to rebound, go sit your lazy ass on the bench.

[LC Dawg]

16 of our 18 points from guards. I don't think we have even passed the ball inside on most of our possessions.

Apparently they only play offense.

[Tater]

The **** are we reviewing.

[PGHBulldogBG]

The **** are we reviewing.

I was wondering the same thing

[Tater]

Hubbard - Epps - McGhee - Macura - Ballard feels like it's our best lineup and should be the closing lineup / dominant lineup going forward.

[mparkerfd20]

Texas is bulldozing, pushing and fouling like a mother****er with no calls

[Tater]

Pull Macura and immediate 6-0 run. He seems to be a glue piece that fits well with the rest of the roster. Achor just doesn't mesh as well.

At least to my casual observer eye.

Gonna need 40+ from Hub to get the W tonight I feel.

[Quaoarsking]

Jans isn't going to finish last in the SEC, despite our financial disadvantages.

[Tater]

Took some coaching pills. Jones only played 8 minutes.

Hubbard having an amazing offensive night can't be the only winning recipe for us. Have to imagine they'll continue to double him at half court pickup and make us beat them elsewhere. So keep black holes on offense on the bench. We need 4 guys who can hit open buckets around Hubbard because they're gonna get plenty of opportunities second half.

11 from Epps and 7 from McGhee. We're pretty tough to stop when these 3 are scoring

[Tater]

Hubb scoreless for the first 5 minutes of the second half. Really gotta have more from those around him.

[msstate7]

He's hooking Walker too

[Tater]

Both should get a flagrant 1

[Tater]

That's lame that they get the ball when we had a free basket.

[LC Dawg]

#8 should be fouled out by now. They finally started calling on him.

[Tater]

BWalk with a hell of an oldhead draw the foul there. Great mental fortitude. That's hustle defense + some talent. He just took over the game after the flagrant. Love it.

[msstate7]

Can't push the lead out past 5

[Tater]

Shawn Jones is a losing basketball player.

Ball watching - lost his man - no box out - free open look for 2.

But his hustle defense Jans!

No surprise they go on a run with him in the game. Bench him forever Jans

[Tater]

Hubbard has to play the last 11 and Jones has to sit the last 11 or we will lose.

We may lose anyways, but we will definitely lose if not.

Not a jones fan, but I'd say Hubbard on the bench was the fuel for that run

[Coach34]

Jans isn't going to finish last in the SEC, despite our financial disadvantages.

Shit- we are middle of the pack in basketball funding. Basketball NIL is in solid shape.

[LC Dawg]

WTF Achor and Walker??!!

[msstate7]

Are these the Texas announcers? Holy shit they want Texas to win

[Tater]

Not a jones fan, but I'd say Hubbard on the bench was the fuel for that run

Nope that wasn't it

[msstate7]

Yeah, sit McGhee. He probably just lost the game

[LC Dawg]

Hubbard is going to have to get on a hot streak.

[msstate7]

I feel like acne boy gets to play push, bite, finger out guys, and we can't touch him

[PGHBulldogBG]

Outside of maybe USCe I?m not sure we have the ability to win road SEC games this year

[msstate7]

Announcers hate a Texas foul, surprising

[Ranchdawg]

I said it the other day, it is going to be extremely hard to win in Austin, Tx.

[Tater]

****ING OW

[msstate7]

Ball game. Hubbard, you have to hit one of those shots! F

[LC Dawg]

How many people have set career highs against us? It seems like a lot.

[Tater]

Ok yea I wasn't fully convinced but that last one - this announcer is biased and it's bad.

[msstate7]

Announcer wouldn't call a foul on a clear hack on elbow. Holy shit, guy... just say I want Texas to win

[msstate7]

Ok yea I wasn't fully convinced but that last one - this announcer is biased and it's bad.

This is terrible. He should be fired

[Quaoarsking]

That's just objectively a foul. Of course the ref blew the whistle.

Refs aren't supposed to just decide that "the situation" didn't warrant a call.

[Tater]

You are getting all the tic tac calls against us and you're crying about Texsa getting (both coach and announcer) getting similar calls against.

They have more FTs than us

[msstate7]

That's just objectively a foul. Of course the ref blew the whistle.

This color guy's love of Texas makes blacksails love of Lebby look like kids stuff

[Quaoarsking]

Now the announcer is gloating about how Hubbard missed his FTs...

[LC Dawg]

2 missed free throws by Hubbard should do it.

[Tater]

"I wouldn't call that foul - the situation doesn't warrant it" - where's that energy for us?

Ugh. Just obvious we would lose. Couldn't weather the Jones negative minutes.

[msstate7]

Hubbard is flat out choking late. You get all our money, so I will be critical of 6/22 shooting and 3 missed FTs

[Tater]

Took some coaching pills. Jones only played 8 minutes.

Texsa did what I said they would. We didn't do what I said we needed to do. Basketball is hard when you're carried by your NIL budget - not coaching.

[msstate7]

ESPN,, fire this clown

[Tater]

LOL THATS SO OBVIOUSLY A FOUL AND YOU ARE CRYING !!!

Good lord fire this guy. This is the SEC Network not the longhorn network

[Tater]

Josh ****ing Hubbard

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Josh

[Tater]

Two Hubbard FT misses hurt.

But one more stop make stop make and we win.

[msstate7]

So how do we get a stop?

[Tater]

They beat us in OT last year. No Swain is huge.

****ing BWalk just has been a winning player tonight.

7-0 run to end. Huge.

[LC Dawg]

BFW!

[LC Dawg]

I like OT with no Swain.

[Tater]

WHY IS SHAWN JONES IN

[msstate7]

Achor double double

[Tater]

State takes the lead and now the announcer glazes our players a little bit.

Also Pope fouled out and they didn't notice.

[Quaoarsking]

Announcer whining about a foul on Texas

[LC Dawg]

I wish someone would shove a whistle down this guy's throat.

[msstate7]

Announcer whining about a foul on Texas

I wish I had the passion for state that he has for Texas

[Bdawg]

He’s still crying about the situation on the push on Epps

[msstate7]

Jones with 2 winning plays. Credit where it's due

[Tater]

And Sergej getting hurt. That really hurts if he's unable to get back out there.

[Tater]

Jones with 2 winning plays. Credit where it's due

Yep. I was wrong about OT lineup.

[Coach34]

What a damn game!!!

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Josh

[Tater]

Josh Hubbard would be so annoying to play against. He went to the SGA school of shooting middies and getting fouls this offseason

[Tater]

Texsa has shot 37 FTs. We have shot 29 FTs

[msstate7]

Josh or Epps, only

[Quaoarsking]

Announcer: "It's just so harrrrd to defend a guy like Josh Hubbard."

Guys, it's just unfair that he's good.

[Coach34]

Brandon Walker is dumb

[Tater]

Jones undoes 1 of his winning plays. Time to pull him before the second.

[msstate7]

Just a horrible possession by Josh

[Coach34]

Hubbard has def elevated his game since his freshman season by developing his scoring inside the arc

[LC Dawg]

That's not goaltending.

[Tater]

Brandon Walker is dumb

He has not been dumb tonight. Played a lot of smart basketball tonight. Part of why the V kid didn't takeover the second half and blow us out.

[msstate7]

That's not goaltending.

Not sure it's clear and convincing. It may have been going down

[Coach34]

Well we got the switch we wanted and he stayed there. He should have run to the opposite corner immediately

[Tater]

Just a horrible possession by Josh

He used a ton of clock and had Jones in a great position to go up for a great layup look.

But I agree that being the look is a horrible decision. Take that piece off the board. McGhee there makes that defender stay out to the 3 and Josh maybe gets a better shot attempt not having 3 there.

[msstate7]

Ok, nice

[Tater]

Horrific possession

[Bdawg]

Where was the foul? Geez

[Tater]

I was right about pulling Jones...

[msstate7]

I'm getting Epps a look here

[msstate7]

I'm getting Epps a look here
Or Josh

[Tater]

Shawn Jones with the third losing play. He's now a net negative in OT

[Coach34]

Wow

[Tater]

Jesus christ no one helping on the double. Shawn Jones the third guard nowhere around. Losing basketball player

[Bdawg]

So horrible Epps

[Coach34]

Can’t turn the ball over there

[msstate7]

What a terrible TO

[LC Dawg]

Jones was ok until OT and he's killing us now.

[msstate7]

Nuts don't give up a 3

[msstate7]

Jones was ok until OT and he's killing us now.

It's extended mins. He's ok in short stints

[Tater]

HUGE

[msstate7]

Gotta have em, Josh.

[LC Dawg]

Announcer when a foul on us: "Clear foul".

[Tater]

Sergei back. Huge

[msstate7]

Foul

[Tater]

HORNS ****ING DOWN BOYS

[Bdawg]

Nice dub!!

[Quaoarsking]

Devastated announcer: "This was not the Mississippi State team I prepared for!!"

[BulldogBear]

That soothes some of last night's pain

[LC Dawg]

Hell yeah! That was fun!

[msstate7]

Jans, that was stupid. Huge win tho

[SailingDawg]

Road win

[Bdawg]

Foul

Yeah could have fouled coming up the floor

[Tater]

First time since 1977 holy

[BeardoMSU]

1-0 in the SEC ain't a. bad place to be***

[MoreCowbell]

Did not get to watch just saw final score can someone give me a quick summary message board style

[EdwardDrayton]

Three scotches and never had a doubt. *****

[Tater]

[msstate7]

Q1 win

[msstate7]

Did not get to watch just saw final score can someone give me a quick summary message board style

They score. We score more

[BeardoMSU]

Game Summary: See my profile pic

Lolz

[Activated Alpha]

They score. We score more

We bitched about Jones, we bitched about Jan?s. Announcers sucked Texas dick. C34 threw in about how poor we are and should just give up.

Don?t think the last part is true but would not surprise me

[msstate7]

Jans and the team did work on that long lay otf. They look completely different this week

[PGHBulldogBG]

Wow I will admit I didn?t think we could do it. Hubbard saved us. Shame he got hurt and couldn?t play against San Francisco or we would be in a better place

[msstate7]

Wow I will admit I didn?t think we could do it. Hubbard saved us. Shame he got hurt and couldn?t play against San Francisco or we would be in a better place

Hubbard wasn't a one man show tonight... achor double double and Epps with 27. Epps and Hubbard are a handful

[Bothrops]

Great game tonight. I couldn't watch for luck, had to peer at the score constantly.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I just pray we can be aTm 2023. Terrible non conference and then place 2nd in SEC

[Coach34]

We are not poor in basketball or beisball. We are top tier of the SEC in Beisball and mid in basketball.

Why? Fewer players and less money needed

[DEDawg]

We are not poor in basketball or beisball. We are top tier of the SEC in Beisball and mid in basketball.

Why? Fewer players and less money needed

Why would that matter? That isn't unique to us, every team would have that "advantage"

[PGHBulldogBG]

The furniture guys support us in NIL in basketball thankfully. We just have to win our home games outside Vandy and Bama and beat USCe, Mizzou and Ole Miss on the road and we will make the tourney. It will be a tough challenge but if we play like we did tonight we can do it

[Coach34]

Why would that matter? That isn't unique to us, every team would have that "advantage"

Because every program has their level of support. We are mid tier SEC in basketball. The furniture guys and others make sure of that. Kentucky and UPig/Bama go around 20MM for a roster. Our guys give Jan 10MM per plus a tad over if needed.


In football- that’s not the case. We are way behind in football.
