[msstate7]

That was a long 3. Hard to do anything bout that

[sleepy dawg]

we already have 3 turnovers. auburn to the line

[sleepy dawg]

[Dawg61]

Sword is a shell.

[msstate7]

Good play by johnson

[BeardoMSU]

We're a basketball school***

[msstate7]

Sword is a shell.
I'm hopeful he's bout to get back right. Took ready a while

[sleepy dawg]

7-7.

[messageboardsuperhero]

"Mississippi State is not a great shooting team."

LOL, I'd settle for mediocre.

Playing hard defense right now though.

[Dawg61]

Tied up on two Houston scores. Kid is good.

[msstate7]

7-7 after jumper, steal, layup by Houston

[sleepy dawg]

forced 2 straight turnovers. we're up 9-7 with the ball.

[DudyDawg]

Whether houston is a basketball player or not has yet to be determined, but he's damn sure an athlete. Cat can move

[msstate7]

We actually are better shooting than auburn

[messageboardsuperhero]

My biggest beef with Ray has always been our complete lack of offensive skill. It just looks like our guys have no clue what to do with a basketball in their hands.

[Dawg61]

We are so bad on the transition

[msstate7]

Both teams look out of control

[messageboardsuperhero]

Well Fred came to shoot tonight.

[Dawg61]

Love how Barry Booker laughs at Fred. 2 threes for FFTF 15-12 State

[messageboardsuperhero]

Helluva pass by Fred Thomas there... Atrocious finish though.

[msstate7]

Houston and Fred came to play

[HoopsDawg]

Sigh on Ndoye playing.

[thedawg]

It's weird how bi polar we are

[Dawg61]

Bench Sword. He's a liability.

[sleepy dawg]

17 - 16 us.

[msstate7]

Really dislike sword settling for jumpshots

[msstate7]

Big bucket ware

[HoopsDawg]

Somebody teach Daniels how to make an entry pass. Awful.

[Dawg61]

Bad Daniels tonight

[msstate7]

Free throws

[maroonkoolaid]

Is there a reason Houston is still on the bench?

[cbrunt29]

Can't make a FT to save our lives

[Dawg61]

Free throws are killing us

[Dawg61]

21-19 AU

[msstate7]

Man, I'd love to see sword get back healthy. You see bursts, but he can't seem to sustain it

[Dawg61]

Sword steals it. Dunks it and salutes the Auburn crowd. Sword has 2 points.

[msstate7]

Sword steals it. Dunks it and salutes the Auburn crowd. Sword has 2 points.

Make it 4. Good drive and ft's

[msstate7]

Sword looking like... Well, sword

[DudyDawg]

Be up 15 if we were knocking the free ones down

[msstate7]

Nice first half dawgs. The defense was outstanding

[Dawg61]

Very nice defensive half. 31-22 MSU

[CadaverDawg]

Thanks boys

[CadaverDawg]

By the way, I'm at a dinner sitting a table over from Johnny Bench. I'm awestruck. Big Red Machine

[RougeDawg]

First game I've actually watched all year and we are playing well. Maybe I should start watching more often.

[msstate7]

By the way, I'm at a dinner sitting a table over from Johnny Bench. I'm awestruck. Big Red Machine

He's no Christian bethancourt***

[Dawg61]

Was Bruce Pearl just addressing the crowd pleading for a rowdy crowd or was that a recording?

[msstate7]

Gotta give ray some credit... We've looked like a much better team these last 3 games

[sleepy dawg]

40 27

[Dawg61]

Monster dunk by Ware. 40-27 MSU

[Dawg61]

Officially blowing out Auburn. 42-27

[msstate7]

I don't think ray or his team want him fired. He's got em to respond.

[State82]

By the way, I'm at a dinner sitting a table over from Johnny Bench. I'm awestruck. Big Red Machine

Wow! Bench is my all-time favorite baseball player. That's a really cool deal!

[engie]

These last 3 have been the team I expected all season...

We've just pulled confidence out of our ass here. I don't understand it, but I'm enjoying it

[Maroonthirteen]

Hail yes! Go State! The ball is bouncing our way so far.

[msstate7]

Wonder how much is due to ready and sword coming around

[sleepy dawg]

46 - 30. our ball at a break. starting to look dominant.

[Thick]

If Sword can get back his game, we could win a few more games. Some of the freshmen look very good at times. Shooting it well tonight, getting to the rim, keeping them off the offensive boards. Ray has a few line ups that are nice and long, and length is always a good thing.

[DudyDawg]

10 points on 5-6 from the floor and 12 boards for Ware. Good night big man

[engie]

Lol @ Ray taking Bruce Pearl to school in their house right now...

It's not like it's one facet we are doing better in. It's literally every aspect of the game

[msstate7]

The passing tonight is unreal compared to what we usually do

[thedawg]

Damn if we just didn't have those horrid losses

[DudyDawg]

I pull take Ware at one d end and bowers at the other end

[Dawg61]

Awful block call 52-39

[msstate7]

Bs

[Dawg61]

Back to back home calls

[msstate7]

Need to get ready back in.

[Dawg61]

Wheels are falling off

[Dawg61]

Auburn has a ****ing DJ in the arena. Haha

[msstate7]

Get ready back in. We do not look good at all with bloodman

[thedawg]

Is it just me or are the announcers pulling as hard as they can for auburn?

[TopDog58]

This is about to the greatest Rick Ray loss of all time. Can see it coming

[Irondawg]

We went full jr high team against a good press the past few minutes and Au is running their offense much better and getting good looks.

Our sets and passing are back to looking terrible

[msstate7]

Sword, ready, and ware were out the game

[msstate7]

That's sword! He's getting close

[Dawg61]

Good Sword has shown up. 56-43 MSU 9:27 left

[Dawg61]

Sword 4th foul. Huge problem

[msstate7]

Refs trying to keep auburn in this

[cheewgumm]

How the hell was that a foul on Sword? They banged knees.

[msstate7]

Boom

[msstate7]

Ij ready is becoming a player.

[Dawg61]

Ready with a huge 3!! Then he gets fouled. Aggressive Ready is good Ready.

[Maroonthirteen]

IJ Ready says to hell with the stall. Im going to the rim. 8 minutes.....cmon Dogs!

[Dawg61]

59-46 MSU 7 minutes left.

[engie]

Aggressive Ready has given everyone else a shot in the arm

[Irondawg]

Agree without ready we are probably down 10.

The zebras are in full help Au mode so these next 3 min are critical to keep a double digit lead

[Thompson92]

So many makeup calls from the refs. AU fans get pissed about something, next AU possession, State gets called for nudging a guy.

[Maroonthirteen]

In the words of smokie from Friday, Fred, don't evah.... Evah, evah, evah, evah shoot the 3 again.

[engie]

Daniels been shooting it like he was supposed to the last couple as well

[cheewgumm]

This team needs David Domigne... Google it.

[msstate7]

Need to get sword and ready back in

[Maroonthirteen]

Yeah, what is he waiting on? Get them in the game. It is to the point that AU does not have enough time for the possessions to catch up. They are about to start fouling.

[Rayburn8]

It has been so long, I have forgotten.

[DCdawg]

Gavin having a good game. I haven't seen him play with this hustle all year.

[cheewgumm]

We are not getting a block/ charge call.

[Jacksondevildog]

Our post entry passes are horrible and we get bad angles with them. Horrible turnover when we could have run 20 more seconds off the clock.

[Irondawg]

Here comes the potential implosion with turnovers. Plus Au is getting a great look every time down the floor this half it seems

[Dawg61]

Refs with another BS call. Trying to hang on. 65-54 3:44 left

[Thick]

Yes, and Fred Thomas is the worst of all. Terrible passer into the post!

[msstate7]

Bs!!!!!!!!!!

[messageboardsuperhero]

My God, Auburn getting all kind of ticky tack fouls.

[sleepy dawg]

jesus christ

[sleepy dawg]

65 60
2:48 left

[msstate7]

Sword can't go that quick without getting a decent look.

[Dawg61]

65-60 2:48 left

[Bucky Dog]

Damnit hang on State!

[Dawg61]

Why are we shooting right away? Stupid

[Dawg61]

Ware two big FT. 67-62

[maroonmania]

I tried to finally turn this on and watch because of the score but I've watched the last couple of minutes and we are still terrible. Can't seem to do anything right.

[sleepy dawg]

67 62. au ball. 2:14

[messageboardsuperhero]

What the hell has happened to the defense in the last five minutes?

[Bucky Dog]

And a turnover

[Dawg61]

Imploding. Keep shooting immediately. Auburn 3. 67-65

[sleepy dawg]

67 65. place is loud

[engie]

Holy shit

[msstate7]

Ready!!!!

[Dawg61]

READY!!!!!!!!

[Bucky Dog]

Ready!!! He ain't scared

[messageboardsuperhero]

This is the Ready we've all been waiting for.

[msstate7]

Boys, we have a pg

[sleepy dawg]

72 67.
50 seconds left
timeout

[Dawg61]

Wow Ready has been AWESOME!! 72-65 1:00 left

[engie]

We won't play anywhere too much more hostile than this place has been tonight...

[maroonmania]

Ready may have saved the day.

[sleepy dawg]

We won't play anywhere too much more hostile than this place has been tonight...

No doubt. The crowd has stayed in it, and was probably the loudest just now.

[engie]

Auburn isn't going to lose many with this place how it is tonight under Pearl...

[Bucky Dog]

Make our FT

[Drugdog]

Score?

[sleepy dawg]

peel another piece.

76-71. :25

[sleepy dawg]

78 71 final

[Dawg61]

Great win!! Congrats Ray. Ready, Ware and Sword were all huge tonight. Especially Ready.

[Bucky Dog]

It's over Johnny!!

[BeardoMSU]

Road warriors!!

ETA: ****

[Acid mouth]

2 in a row? Come on dawgs

Good call on the two game win streak. Damn what a game

[engie]

Another bad streak broken...

3 good performances in a row is almost a trend...

[messageboardsuperhero]

We outrebounded AU +11. That's pretty impressive on the road.

[LC Dawg]

That was big time. That place was rowdy tonight and our guys fought through it when Auburn had that late run.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Another bad streak broken...

3 good performances in a row is almost a trend...

Now here's the test. Every time we've started playing good ball under Ray, we can't maintain it. Keep this up for the rest of the season, and Ray may earn himself another season. Maybe.

[chef dixon]

Auburn isn't going to lose many with this place how it is tonight under Pearl...

I'll believe it when I see it. Pearl has his work cut out for him with this program. He should find jesus.

[Dawg61]

Gawd I love beating Auburn.

[Rayburn8]

Gawd I love beating Auburn.

Sometimes I get more out of beating Auburn than beating TSUN.

[chef dixon]

Have to give Ray credit for recruiting Ready at least.

[engie]

I'll believe it when I see it. Pearl has his work cut out for him with this program. He should find jesus.

He's 8-2 there in year 1 with a win over Xavier and several other decent teams/programs. That is not going to be an easy place to win in Pearl's tenure. That crowd never faded all night in spite of a number of absolute daggers from us...

[CadaverDawg]

How bout that?

Congrats to our boys, and to Rick Ray. Hate I wasn't able to watch. Thanks for the updates tonight guys.
