Men's Basketball vs LSU Game Thread

[TheRef]

Well...I'm here for today's game against LSU. We will be on SEC Network at 1 for the game. At this time, the Hump is a shell of itself. A lot of empty seats. I know that most will show up about 10 minutes before tip so I won't judge the crowd right now.

[msstate7]

The crowd is pathetic

[sleepy dawg]

SECN is showing Women's gymnastics (Georgia vs. Florida) before our game... This should be the pregame for all remaining games. I wish we had a women's gymnastics team.

In a rare move, I actually put money on us at +5 today. Hopefully the decent version of our team shows up today.

[GTHOM]

its 10 min before tip and it looks like 300 people are there #FireRickRay program is dead

[It_Could_Happen]

I'm here... But this is the one game left on the schedule other than UK that I think could get ugly.

[sleepy dawg]

Every game has to potential to be ugly.

[HailState39110]

Josh Gray would sure look good in maroon. Wish Ray could have kept him committed when Stans left

[HailState39110]

LSU looks awful today

[msstate7]

Sword looks so much quicker than he did a few games ago

[msstate7]

LSU looks awful today

I'm here. Our defense has been outstanding. It's not just lsu not playing well...

[msstate7]

We've got to rebound better

[starkvegasdawg]

And cut down on the fouls.

[msstate7]

I really like Oliver black. I think he's gonna be really good maybe even by next season

[Coach34]

What? Nobody is blowing us out except Kentucky

[Coach34]

He cost too much. Ray wouldnt pay it

[drunkernhelldawg]

LSU looks awful today

Let's give Ray credit: That's our defense.

[HailState39110]

I'm glad we are up 5 but man this game is hard to watch. 3 combined field goals in almost 10 minutes of play

[engie]

I really like Oliver black. I think he's gonna be really good maybe even by next season

He sucks and should have lost his scholarship before he ever showed up, didn't you know?***

He's starting to show a pretty decent stroke from distance now. Def like his potential...

[civildawg]

Do we ever back cut on offense? It seems like we just stand around on the perimeter alot

[mcdawg]

its 10 min before tip and it looks like 300 people are there #FireRickRay program is dead

Why would anyone go? It is too boring - no offense, no stars, no people at games.

[Coach34]

We are a good defensive team

[Coach34]

Ready outplaying Gray

[Coach34]

Houston is stupid...talented but stupid

[starkvegasdawg]

Brilliant move there, Houston.

[msstate7]

Houston is stupid

But boy can he jump

[starkvegasdawg]

What's our TO count now?

[msstate7]

Rebounding is killing us

[Coach34]

we have got to crash the damn defensive board

[Coach34]

Rebounding is killing us

not having Ware and Roq makes it tough

[Coach34]

What's our TO count now?

not bad today and less than LSU's

[mic]

We are a good defensive team

But but but but.... IJ is too short . Can't play defense...

[scottycameron]

But boy can he jump

they usually go hand in hand, LOL.

[msstate7]

Good first half esp considering johnson had to sit almost the whole half

[HailState39110]

Good first half. We played excellent defense but LSUs big men hurt us on the boards and blocked shots .

We can win this one and need it to hold serve at home

[mcdawg]

Good first half? Both teams suck - I have never seen so many bad passes, bad shots, ugly shots, missed shots, bad drives that ended in turnovers, etc. We had past teams that would beat either team by 20 - easily. That is why nobody goes to games - it is just brutal to watch.

If it's so brutal to watch, why are you watching?

[Quaoarsking]

LSU is projected as an NCAA Tournament team in 74 of the 76 bracket projections out there: http://bracketmatrix.com/ In most projections, they're a single-digit seed.

So ... no, LSU is not terrible or awful or bad or mediocre or anything like that.

To give lsu any credit, you'd have to give us some first half credit. Can't credit us at all.

Peters in house

Then don't watch..

[HoopsDawg]

Did I just hear a we want Peters chant break out? If so, good job students.

[msstate7]

Yep. Still doing it some. Peters just came in with his family and dan

[Dawg61]

And we can't figure out how to inbounds it. Playing better though. Sweet dunk by Fred.

Loved to see him be aggressive like that. Surprised he didn't get tech for hanging

[Coach34]

Houston having a bad day...and we cant make FT's again

[Dawg61]

LSU has themselves a bow legged white thug. Looks like a retarded Jason Williams.

[HoopsDawg]

And we can't figure out how to inbounds it. Playing better though. Sweet dunk by Fred.

The one area where Stans could outcoach Ray is the inbounds plays. Ray's inbounds plays leave a lot to be desired.

[starkvegasdawg]

Half lsu's team about to foul out.

[starkvegasdawg]

How does a seven footer miss a foot from the goal...twice.

[Dawg61]

Back to back layups MSU 60 LSU 57 2:39 left

[Quaoarsking]

IF we hang on and win, it would probably be our first win over an NCAAT team (other than those that got an autobid but wouldn't have without winning a conference tourney) since winning at Vanderbilt in 2012.

And this is assuming that LSU doesn't completely derail over this. This would be Ray's signature win.

OM 2 years ago

[Quaoarsking]

OM 2 years ago

Yeah, that's probably a signature win too, but that Ole Miss team won the SECT to get in, and probably wouldn't have if they'd lost to Florida. This win, if we hold on, is better.

[Coach34]

The one area where Stans could outcoach Ray is the inbounds plays. Ray's inbounds plays leave a lot to be desired.

The problem is having a munchkin throw the ball in- switching that would help alot

[RougeDawg]

We still make a ton of horrible mistakes. If we actually cleaned up half of the mistakes we could be decent. Mistakes come from lack of only one thing. You all can figure out what that is. We'd win more games without a head coach than we do with Ray.

This win buys Ray another year for sure. Now he just needs to find another shooter whether it be Malik or the Juco SG we looked at the other day.

Who is the juco?

[engie]

How many starZ LSU have on the floor right now?

[mstatefan91]

Horrible call there. Ready didn't foul. Let alone in the act of shooting

[cheewgumm]

Nice NBA continuation. Terrible call. Way to overcome that BS.

[HoopsDawg]

Who is the juco?

Mychal Mulder. Originally from Canada. Has offers from Mizzou and Wichita State. He's 6'4.

[mstatefan91]

How about that great second half by Thomas?! Clutch playing

And another horrible call

[cheewgumm]

The refs hate us at the end of games. It's so obvious it's stupid.

[Rayburn8]

Nice NBA continuation. Terrible call. Way to overcome that BS.

Even with the refs being absolute trash in the last 20 seconds we will still pull away with a victory.(hopefully)

[starkvegasdawg]

Refs are going in dry here at the end. Good thing LSU can't make a td here at the end.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Hell effen yeah!!!

[HoopsDawg]

How many starZ LSU have on the floor right now?

I don't know but they have 2 five star players committed and are in the running for 2 more.

[mstatefan91]

We can all of a sudden make free throws!

[Liverpooldawg]

Nice win. We are playing better, it gets tough the next few games.

[HailState39110]

I don't know but they have 2 five star players committed and are in the running for 2 more.

LSU will compete with Kentucky next year . That's being said ,this was Rays best win in his 3 years at MSU IMO

[Dawg61]

Nice win!! I didn't expect this. Best win this year. Our defense was suffocating. I like the zone we played today. Very active and it frustrated LSU.

[Dawg61]

WCS hopefully will go pro so UK should take a step back. That guy is a stud.

Hahaha... That's all you got..???
Yeah because all the mistakes and turnovers we make are ALL on coaching ..

[TheRef]

Guys...for all the hell that we give this coaching staff, I think I saw some of the hardest coaching today. Wes Flanagan during one of the timeouts in the second half went on a 30-second tirade and chewed some ass out there. I mean I was feeling the pain from my seat in the student section. It was a good 4 minutes later before he calmed down after it. He was getting in players' faces and yelling at them. Guys...we've got the coaching staff, and the team is coming together nicely.

So LSU didn't make any horrible mistakes? Guess what, we won.

[smootness]

Agreed. We clearly have more talent than LSU; terrible coaching job for that one to even be close**

[CadaverDawg]

Hell yes! Great win! Ray may make a believer of me yet. He's getting closer
