MSU vs. TSUN basketball: Part Deaux

[TheRef]

Well...here we go again. We are at the epitome of disgrace, aka the Sad Pad. TSUN students and players are wearing "Beat State" shirts (yet, we're not their real rival). Marshall Henderson will be playing for TSUN, and IJ Ready has been medically cleared to play and is dressed out.

[HancockCountyDog]

CHat?

[TheRef]

I can do both. I'm in the chat room.

[MarketingBully01]

Excellent! Glad Ready is cleared. He is a big difference maker for us. Let's shock the world and beat Ole Miss!

[drummerdawg]

Y'all are about to see a lot of love from the fans at the game**

[Fader21]

Wjtv is showing Missouri and USC

[maroonmania]

Our team just looks like crap on the road. I look for OM to beat us by 20, already up 8-2 in the first 2 minutes of the game.

[preachermatt83]

15-7 already?!?!?

[maroonmania]

At this rate OM will have 60 by halftime.

[MarketingBully01]

Yep, especially with the TO tandem of Bloodman and Sword. We need Ready big time. They are half court trapping us basically. Sword really needs to develop a 15 foot consistent shot to expand his game. Continuing to go to the basket will draw offensive charges quite a bit especially on the road.

[Coach34]

We got to #ATMFB

[Coach34]

Ware got fouled...damn that was bullshit- then he gets the ticky tack on the other end...wow

[smootness]

College basketball officiating is a complete joke. And I know we've been on the good end at times...basically the home team does what they want, the road team gets called for freaking everything. Their big men basically just swung across Ware's body twice, nothing. Then they jump into aware, who has position, and foul.

[MarketingBully01]

That's the way it is on the road. It has been all year long in the SEC. In order to win, you have to beat the refs as well.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We are a terrible road team. I mean, absolutely awful.

[smootness]

We are a terrible road team. I mean, absolutely awful.

That's just the way college basketball is.

[Coach34]

We are a terrible road team. I mean, absolutely awful.

Wedont get the same calls on the road- it's pretty simple

[MarketingBully01]

We are not good enough to beat the mediocre to good SEC teams on the road. We can beat the Auburn's, Georgia's and USC's though. That should be our next step. To beat the bad teams on the road.

[Perpetual Underachiever]

I can't decide which looks worse, the dogs or the facial hair of both teams.

[MarketingBully01]

Oh and I still consider UGA a crap team even though they are 4-2. I have no idea how they have 4 wins at this point. That is a shit team. I forsee a big time losing streak for them. Kentucky wasn't really playing well today and still beat the shit out of them. I think in their two losses they lost by 50+ points combined.

[maroonmania]

Amazes me how we could have a team of SEC scholarship players that can't even come close to hitting a wide open 10 to 12 foot shot.

[smootness]

I've never disliked an athlete in any sport more than I dislike Marshall Henderson.

And man, he can shoot but you can't give him THAT much of a green light. He could shoot us right back in this.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

We really need another big man. Maybe we should start hitting the international circuits.

[MarketingBully01]

Uh, that was a goal tend...

[TheRef]

Uh, that was a goal tend...

Ball was still going up and never hit the backboard. No goaltending.

[smootness]

Uh, that was a goal tend...

Yep, clearly.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

I've never disliked an athlete in any sport more than I dislike Marshall Henderson.

And man, he can shoot but you can't give him THAT much of a green light. He could shoot us right back in this.

I cant stand how much the announcers talk about how he is this great player and how much he scores a game. Law of averages will tell you that if you take 40 shots a game, some of them will go in.

[MarketingBully01]

Really, you are going to argue about that? I give up with this crowd...

[smootness]

Ball was still going up and never hit the backboard. No goaltending.

It was coming down. It was pretty close to a line drive hook, was going down almost immediately.

[bully99]

The blackbear celebrities are at the sad pad. Eli and Shep. Weird and Weider

[TheRef]

Really, you are going to argue about that? I give up with this crowd...

I'm just telling you what I saw and what the refs most likely saw. You don't want the truth, too damn bad. I'm usually one of the ones complaining about calls so don't give me shit about this.

[MarketingBully01]

It was going down. But it doesn't matter because it wasn't called. When the ball is in the air that long they almost always call a goal tend. But it was a home call so it is what it is.

[TheRef]

Dammit I'm about damn frustrated with our FT shooting.

[Coach34]

We really need another big man. Maybe we should start hitting the international circuits.

We have them- they are redshirting or Sr's in HS

[smootness]

Not a great half, but we played really good D at the end and left ourselves within striking distance. Have to start making the FTs.

[maroonmania]

We just plain out don't shoot the ball well enough in a hostile environment to win a decent game on the road, from the field or from the free throw line.

[Coach34]

missing a couple of 1 and 1's hurt. But this is about what I expected today. Ole Miss is pretty good and will be a bubble team in March

[engie]

Henderson is keeping us in this game with his deep misses...

We'll shoot free throws better in the second half and hopefully get a couple of shots to fall. Would be great if we could get back within striking distance.

[Maroonthirteen]

What mania said. Also like i said last week....how we win any basketball game is amazing. We couldn't shot a ball in the tombigbee standing on the 82 bridge.

[chef dixon]

Not the most talented, but its about time some of yall give Bloodman some credit. He controls the pace for us pretty well and takes high percentage shots at a 54% clip. And who called him a TO machine earlier? He averages about 1 a game.

[GrassOfDWS]

My biggest pet peeve in basketball is missed free throws. Drives me nuts.

[War Machine Dawg]

Only down 11 at the half and we didn't have Chicken, Ware, or Ready for a large chunk of it. Kept it within striking distance, which is about all you can ask. Now we need to take advantage with all our guys back in the 2nd.

[smootness]

Not the most talented, but its about time some of yall give Bloodman some credit. He controls the pace for us pretty well and takes high percentage shots at a 54% clip. And who called him a TO machine earlier? He averages about 1 a game.

His improvement has been pretty staggering, honestly.

ETA: just looked it up...averaging 6 fewer minutes but the same amt of points; jumped from 35% FG shooting last year to 54% this year...same number of assists, more steals, yet 1.6 FEWER TOs per game. Crazy.

[Coach34]

Bloodman has indeed come a long damn way since December of 2012

[Drugdog]

The bears played a good first half and we did not. Let's get it going now.

[maroonmania]

Us being down by 11 at the half with Henderson 1-7 from the field was not a good omen.

[TheRef]

I'm getting about sick and tired of Borchert taking ridiculous threes.

[TheRef]

Ray just subbed out EVERYONE. Bear is playing.

[Coach34]

yeah, but he is the only one that can hit them. His 3 had a better chance than that shit Fred did when he got his shit packed in

[chef dixon]

Disappointed that Ware cant box out Saiz

[Where'sWaldo]

Agreed. At this point a bad shot by Borchert has a better chance of going in than most any other shot we are going to get.

[Drugdog]

Rebs will choke. Just wait.

[Where'sWaldo]

I will say that Borchert is one of the worst defenders I've seen in a long time. He is helpless on defense.

[Coach34]

Disappointed that Ware cant box out Saiz

Ware is not bringing that A effort today

[Drugdog]

MH sister is butt ugly.

[TheRef]

MH sister is butt ugly.

That nose though.....

[maroonmania]

So are we just going to lose every SEC road game by 20 points? And why are we not even trying to drive to the basket?

[Where'sWaldo]

Wilson showing why we could really use him. He's a natural rebounder and really physical under the basket.

[engie]

Yes. De'Runnya is all effort underneath. He's been a nice spark here in the rebounding and effort department.

People acting like he couldn't help us were kidding themselves.

[Drugdog]

My tv screen just shattered with her on the screen. Uuuuuuggggglllllyyyy

[msstate7]

Marshall Henderson is a douche. He couldn't have chosen a better school. Of course, OM is probably the only school that would take him straight outta jail.

[Coach34]

Shooter Cunningham scored while he was in

[Drugdog]

I love the way these guys don't quit. Ray is building something special.

[Where'sWaldo]

Like it or not Henderson is a pretty good basketball player and will make an NBA roster. Him and Summers are too much for us.

[Drugdog]

If we can get under 10, I feel they will choke.

[Coach34]

White is a real player for them too...they have some damn talent

[Drugdog]

I can't see MH on a pro team. Europe maybe.

[Where'sWaldo]

He's a guy that demands respect from a defense and is more athletic than people give him credit for.

[msstate7]

I can't see MH on a pro team. Europe maybe.

I agree. Summers has a better chance than Henderson

[Fader21]

I find it funny that the announcers are saying Henderson has changed his game Bc of 3 assists

[msstate7]

Ray not happy with our team. Mass subs. Bloodman watching Henderson. This is pathetic

[starkvegasdawg]

I think the announcers are going to fight over who gets to polish Marshall's knob first in the locker room after the game.

[msstate7]

Marshall is a present day pistol Pete & most exciting player in college basketball -- this announcer is an idiot.

[Drugdog]

Tough loss. But these guys are young. Building for the future and learning how to win.

Remember this : our 2 worst teams in MSU basketball history and UOM 2 best teams and we are 2-2.

[Todd4State]

I can't see MH on a pro team. Europe maybe.

If Columbia has a pro basketball league, I'd say the odds are better than average that he ends up there.

[Drugdog]

I wish Bear would take out MH on a drive to the goal. Legally of course.

[starkvegasdawg]

Could we get a walk on to just punt shady in the nuts as hard as he can. The announcers would break down and cry.

[Drugdog]

Oh Their first Sell Out of the year! WE ARE NOT YOUR RIVAL !!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Oh Their first Sell Out of the year! WE ARE NOT YOUR RIVAL !!!
All the shirts the hypocritical holier than thou obnoxious pricks in the student section are wearing say differently.

[CrazyEyeKilla]

Did I hear a "This is our state" cheer?

[starkvegasdawg]

Will this win take enough pressure off Kennedy to allow him to get it up and finally take care of his wife?
