We really need this game...

We have RTGDF in football...now we have ATMFB in basketball. (Attack The ____ ____ Basket)

#ATMFB

#ATMFB is now a thing. I wonder how Gregg Ellis would take that on a big piece of poster board?

#ATMFB is now a thing. I wonder how Gregg Ellis would take that on a big piece of poster board?

Can we put that on the front of our jerseys instead of the legal offices of Mississippi State

[TheRef]

Student presence is strong. Everyone else decided not to show up to this game.

[Coach34]

we need to get an acronym for baseball too this year

[Dawg61]

Bad start

[Dawg61]

Will James is #BTGDB

[Dawg61]

Never seen this technical before.

[MarketingBully01]

The team didn't either....

[Coach34]

Barbee gonna chew the damn scorer for Auburn out

[MarketingBully01]

And our 88% FT shooter missed both FT and looked like he didn't care either. I will be glad when we have depth so we can bench this shit when the team doesn't play hard and plays lackidasical. This team shouldn't do that with any team they are playing against.

[Dawg61]

Borchert still thinks he's Jimmer. Stop shooting 25 footers

GAHNSO

Get a hit not strike out

[Dawg61]

Roq Johnson hurt. Again

[Coach34]

****ing Ware screwed on a 2nd foul....gonna be tough to win this without Ware- he was our big advantage and the refs have taken him out of it

[Dawg61]

Bear spotting? Ware in foul trouble and Roq is hurt.

[MarketingBully01]

Luckily Densen got his second. Without Densen they don't have shot either.

[Coach34]

1 and 1 at 11:13- we have to #ATMFB and make free throws

[MarketingBully01]

We need Ready. Why did he have to get a concussion??? They wouldn't be able to press us if we had Ready which goes to show how shifty Bloodman is at point ..

[MarketingBully01]

Yeah, passing it around and taking a low percentage three is not good.

[msstate7]

We need Ready. Why did he have to get a concussion??? They wouldn't be able to press us if we had Ready which goes to show how shifty Bloodman is at point ..

Ready appears to be very fragile.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Don't like to complain about about the refs and rules but DAMN. These new rules are making college basketball a lot less desirable to watch.

[Coach34]

Ready is small- just like Dunlap will be

[Brahmabull]

What channel is it on

[Red Sox Dawg]

ESPN 3

[Dawg61]

Jimmer made one

[MarketingBully01]

What sucks is that Auburn is arguably the worst team in the SEC and we came out like we didn't give a shit. This team can not do this and expect to win any game much less against the SEC. We gave them 6-10 points to start the game. We may come back and win it if we get our act together but we dug ourselves a shit hole.

[Dawg61]

Missed FT killing us. 3 for 9

[MarketingBully01]

Not giving a shit early is what is killing us.

[Coach34]

#ATMFB

[Coach34]

Not giving a shit early is what is killing us.

Just like Mullen didnt earlier this season? Just because someone doesnt cry for missing a FT doesnt mean they dont care

[Red Sox Dawg]

Dawgs are fighting Thomas for 2

au 23. MSU 22

[MarketingBully01]

I agree especially against this team. They suck. If Ready were playig this would be a comfortable win.

[Dawg61]

Jimmer gonna Jimmer

[Red Sox Dawg]

And another. Dawgs 25 au 23 3:29 1st half timeout

Jimmer (Borchert) with 2 threes

[MarketingBully01]

Auburn started this game 8-0 and we were throwing lackadasical passes and turning it over AND the announcer even said we were a content team...that translates to not giving a shit early. If we played hard this whole game, we would win this comfortably.

[MarketingBully01]

Wow, after giving a shit the score would be 25-15.

[Dawg61]

Jimmer!!

[Red Sox Dawg]

Borchert again 28 23 dawgs

[Coach34]

great finish to the half

[Red Sox Dawg]

Borchert or Jimmer is on fire

[DudyDawg]

Seen Bear doing a lot of clapping and pumping up the crowd. Good to see that he seems excited about the team without getting much time yet

[Red Sox Dawg]

Dawgs lead 34 - 25 halftime

[FlabLoser]

Well that turned around quickly.

[MarketingBully01]

If we played like we finished to start the game, this would be a 20 point blow out. Auburn is shit. We need to keep playing like we finished and blow them out.

[Dawg61]

Borchert or Jimmer is on fire

Jimmer is killing the Barn!!

[TopDog58]

Wow what a gutty last 8 minutes. Two huge things. We put them in the bonus with about 6:30 left and didn't commit another foul the rest of the half. Also Roq kept them honest inside drawing some key fouls and keeping the ball alive on the offensive rebounds.

[Dawg61]

If we played like we finished to start the game, this would be a 20 point blow out. Auburn is shit. We need to keep playing like we finished and blow them out.

Are you saying we started like we didn't give a shit?

[Coach34]

If we played like we finished to start the game, this would be a 20 point blow out. Auburn is shit. We need to keep playing like we finished and blow them out.

Dude just stop- Auburn came out hot and we survived the storm...we made some adjustments to how they were playing us and did we this team has to do to be successful- #ATMFB

[Red Sox Dawg]

We get it. We started bad. No argument.

However we blew them up the last 8 minutes and are ahead by 9.

Sword needs to drive the lane more in the 2nd half and draw some fouls. He hasn't been able to get inside much.

[MarketingBully01]

We are good enough to beat the average teams at home when we play scrappy and hard. We will beat no one if we don't play with effort or are lackidasical. Hopefully, Coach Ray can point to the start and finish and tell them don't play like we started but do play like we finished. Borchert/Thomas will always be key with their perimeter shooting. If they hit some shots, it opens up Ware and Sword at the basket and we suddenly become a very good offensive team. When they struggle, it makes us have to win ugly.

[WPDawg]

Do you work in customer service during daylight hours? You seem to have a lot of frustration built up.

[CadaverDawg]

I wonder if Mullen tells Dak after a TD.."Dak, do more of that, and do less of throwing it to the other team".

Jeez

[Red Sox Dawg]

Do you work in customer service during daylight hours? You seem to have a lot of frustration built up.

I chuckled.

[MarketingBully01]

Haha good one. But as a teaching Coach Ray ihas a great example to show his players what they need to do and not what to do. We are up 9 and hopefully will continue the streak. I will shut up now. ;)

[Red Sox Dawg]

Dampier named to the 2014 SEC Basketball Legends Team.

He was good and a lot of fun to watch play.

[MarketingBully01]

Was just frustrated we were losing to the worst team in the SEC by far at home by 8. Luckily, we started playing and are up by 9 at halftime. I will shut up now. This is also an important game in the fact that I don't see another win for us until we play UGA at home so we need this win in the worst way.

[MarketingBully01]

Yeah, he was. The 94-95 and 95-96 teams were a lot of fun to watch...

[bully99]

The barn has lost 14 straight sec games. And they really don't care over there.

[Dawg61]

Drunk Chicken

[MarketingBully01]

Exactly, I think they want Barbee to tank so they can hire Bruce Pearl.

[Dawg61]

Jimmer looking like CP3 with that pass

[Dawg61]

Exactly, I think they want Barbee to tank so they can hire Bruce Pearl.

Hope not. Pearl will win.

[Coach34]

Exactly, I think they want Barbee to tank so they can hire Bruce Pearl.

Stands may be their next coach

[Coach34]

I'm totally shocked we are having this kind of success without Ware. He would be killing them if they would just let him play for 5 minutes

[Dawg61]

Stands may be their next coach

Nah Noah the oldest son though...

[Red Sox Dawg]

Lost my connection.

Dawgs 40 au 32

[MarketingBully01]

Yes, I concur. They have no answer for Ware in the paint.

[engie]

This is also an important game in the fact that I don't see another win for us until we play UGA at home so we need this win in the worst way.

This should be taken as gospel. You've been spot on about the basketball team thusfar**

[Red Sox Dawg]

Dawgs 40 au 36. 13:16

Sword drives and draws the foul. Makes the first and the second.

Dawgs by 6

[Red Sox Dawg]

Jacoby Davis for 3

[MarketingBully01]

What is score now? Is it still 45-39 us?

[Red Sox Dawg]

Man au is getting away with some contact. Aub with a 3 point play the old fashioned way.

Dawgs 45 au 39. 11:44 left

[Coach34]

We are so well-coached. I love it

[Red Sox Dawg]

Having a little trouble with my connection.

Roquez with 2 free throws

47 -39

Au scores 47-41

[Red Sox Dawg]

Ware scores first basket
Auburn turnover
49-41

[Coach34]

Stands keeps telling all our boosters Auburn wants him as their next coach

[Dawg61]

Roq is underrated imo. He's slithery and quick. Can jump faster and higher than most. Good player.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Ware makes a baby hook from 5 feet, 10:20 left in the game State leads 51-41

Timeout

[Dawg61]

Stands keeps telling all our boosters Auburn wants him as their next coach

Oh man that dirty bastard at that dirty ass school will be pulling in 5*

[MarketingBully01]

It's not an insult. We have some hard games coming up. When you have winnable games at home, you have to win them.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Ware has played only 7 minutes

[Dawg61]

Off topic but LSU is going to be nasty really soon. They have 2 players from Montverde committed and both are very good.

[MarketingBully01]

Our boosters need to start helping Ray or we need the club to start doing what they need to do. I think Ray could give Donavan and Cal a run for their money with a lot more talent.

[Dawg61]

Choking right now

[Red Sox Dawg]

Auburn with a 3.

Auburn presses almost a turnover but Ray calls timeout.

State 51-44

[Red Sox Dawg]

State turnover, Auburn misses State with the ball

[MarketingBully01]

I agree talent wise they are on par with Kentucky and Florida but how good is that coach of theirs? They have two MickeyD's guys on their team right now and are going to have to fight and scrap just to make the tourney. Not impressed with that coach so far.

[engie]

It's not an insult. We have some hard games coming up. When you have winnable games at home, you have to win them.

Big difference between saying "we've got tough games coming up" and saying "I don't see a win in the next 6". You have consistently short sold us at EVERY opportunity.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Another turnover, Auburn basket and a foul mad makes the shot.
State 51-47

[Dawg61]

Our boosters need to start helping Ray or we need the club to start doing what they need to do. I think Ray could give Donavan and Cal a run for their money with a lot more talent.

What? How many lottery picks has MSU ever pulled?

[Red Sox Dawg]

Jimmer misses auburn scores 51-49

[TopDog58]

Media timeouts and these ticky tack hand checks suck all the enjoyment out of college basketball. I'd love to see them come up with some kind of rule like if a coach calls a timeout within one minute of the media timeout, it counts for that, except for the under 4:00 mark in the 2nd half. It would cause substitution choices to be more important and wouldn't bore the tv viewer to death without all the damn commercials.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Auburn with an air ball 7:40 left media timeout,

Dawgs lead by 2

[Red Sox Dawg]

Borchert layup 53-49

[Dawg61]

If they are going to call shit fouls they should reduce the shot clock to :30.

[Red Sox Dawg]

I know that some on here will take this as a shot and get their panties in a wad, maybe it is, but it is so damn nice to watch us not go into a stall with the lead. The tacky fouls help out, but shit at least we are still attacking before the shot clock ticks to 1.

[Red Sox Dawg]

It's taken 10 real time minutes for the clock to run from 2:37 to 1:28, and this is not a 1 point game. THIS is why college basketball is losing fans.
