Let's get a win

[DudyDawg]

TV?

TV?

Secn

[RougeDawg]

SEC Network Up 4-2, 2 min in.

[Coach34]

we look good early- except Roq

[Coach34]

like playing 4 on 5 with Roq out there right now

[DudyDawg]

Secn

thanks. Still at the dude. Did we mix up starting 5 or same as usual?

[RougeDawg]

O/U total minute scoring droughts this game: 10 min? Already +3 min and only in 4.

[msstate7]

Usual. Johnson hurt now though. Not sure if he's ok or not

[msstate7]

O/U total minute scoring droughts this game: 10 min? Already +3 min and only in 4.

Open looks everywhere. Just bad shooting

[starkvegasdawg]

O/U total minute scoring droughts this game: 10 min? Already +3 min and only in 4.

One of 9 minutes and one of 7.

[RougeDawg]

Welp, we've got our first 5 min scoring drought of the game with 33 minutes left to play. Went from 18:41 to 13:38 between baskets. Gonna have a tough time beating your own meat with droughts like that.

[msstate7]

Houston has to play more

[msstate7]

Why does ray play bloodman so much?!!!!!

[chef dixon]

like playing 4 on 5 with Roq out there right now

I thought him getting hurt was the reason we lost to Ole Miss.

[chef dixon]

We never get the benefit on the doubt on block/charge calls on both ends of the court, probably because we play so sloppy all the time.

[Coach34]

Ware with 2 fouls and over 9 mins left. No way we win today

[RougeDawg]

Is following your shot a forgotten fundamental of basketball these days? Houston had an easy rebound on that last 3 if he simply follows shot. Instead he "street balls" it, shoots and starts fading back down the court as if it's good. It is the little things like that that can make or break a team. We simply don't do the little things it takes to be a decent team, and the simple things fall on coaching.

[Coach34]

I thought him getting hurt was the reason we lost to Ole Miss.

It was

But thats the problem with Roq- he scores 20 one game- 4 the next. He plays well some games, disappears in others. The Ole Missus game he came to play- today? Not so much

[maroonmania]

We are just a hard basketball team to watch. Can't really shoot very well and everything we do looks chaotic. We will beat Mizzou at home and finish 6-12. We are already down double digits today and I just can't see us winning at Vandy.

[HailState39110]

so far terrible offensive production..... Again

[codeDawg]

I'm going to have to turn it. These are two really bad basketball teams playing a nasty game. This is the worst shooting I've ever seen on both sides.

ETA: as soon as I type that we start trading 3's

[Quaoarsking]

If they keep bombing 3s like this we're screwed...

[chef dixon]

Houston could be good or could never amount to anything because of reckless play and poor FT shooting. Its on you Ray.

[DudyDawg]

Need to ball screen and move more than simple flashing against this 3-2. Gotta make their bigs move

[RougeDawg]

Sword is doing what he's going to have to do for us to win.

[Coach34]

please stop playing Endo and let Black, Roq play inside if we cant have Ware

[Coach34]

Houston is getting better and starting to grow up

[chef dixon]

Sword is a great bulldog. Plays so hard on a shitty team every night. Hope he can have a winning season next year.

[RougeDawg]

And we give up a end of shot clock 3 to end half and go into half down 8. Just f*cking par for the course.

[Quaoarsking]

About as good as we could do with South Carolina's outside shooting that half. If they don't cool down, we're SOL.

[Coach34]

their back-up Center hit a 3

[RougeDawg]

About as good as we could do with South Carolina's outside shooting that half. If they don't cool down, we're SOL.

If we cool down we are doomed as well. We are shooting 59% and still down 8. USC offensive rebounds are the difference. they have 6 to our 1.

[Coach34]

SC has taken 14 3-balls and 14 2-balls. They are launching them today

[Quaoarsking]

And already, they hit another 3.

[chef dixon]

Gonna be tough to close this gap. I'm sure we got another drought coming. Those USCe uniforms are awful with the light came shorts and solid white shirt. Looks like a practice jersey.

[cbrunt29]

Both these teams suck. This is hard to watch

[chef dixon]

What kind of jack wagon tries to kick someone in the face when the guy isn't even antagonizing you?

[msstate7]

Houston is gonna be a player

[msstate7]

Johnson and ware are killing us

[RougeDawg]

Johnson and ware are killing us

Ware has concrete feet. Is he related to Tyler Russell?**

Roq has regressed this year. Huge disappointment

[RougeDawg]

How many DI teams put the opponent in the bonus in first 5 minutes of a half? This team never ceases to amaze me. Holy shit we look horrible.

[msstate7]

Bout time ware... Now play some defense

[Quaoarsking]

WTF Sword? QUIT TRAVELING!

[msstate7]

Sword hurts us as much as he helps us at times

[Quaoarsking]

South Carolina's shooting has been unreal today for such a bad team...

[Coach34]

Today just isnt our day

get it into the post to Roq twice? 2 walks and a tech on Roq
Sword 2 TO's without anybody even really guarding him

And the officials are calling any and everything

[msstate7]

I'm extremely disappointed in our upperclassmen. They've been hot garbage today

[DudyDawg]

Today just isnt our day

get it into the post to Roq twice? 2 walks and a tech on Roq

We haven't hade a day in three years ha

[msstate7]

I'm not gonna miss johnson

[preachermatt83]

We haven't hade a day in three years ha

We sure haven't.

[msstate7]

My God our post defense is terrible today

[Liverpooldawg]

This team is and has been for the last three years extremely painful to try to watch. Maybe they can pull it out but I just can't watch anymore. I'll flip by and check the score.

[RougeDawg]

Roq needs to hold a clipboard the rest of this one. This is ridiculous. He just stood there and let USC get rebound. He isn't there mentally and physically tonight.

[CottonDog]

That vaunted defense C34 likes to talk about has already given up more than USC's average.

[preachermatt83]

I have always supported Scott striklin. I love the Vic Schaefer high and Van was a good hire but so help me if he doesn't Fire Rick Ray I will never support him again and will start advocating his firing.

[Raytoraid83]

We haven't hade a day in three years ha
Retweet

[msstate7]

Serious question... Does bloodman have brain damage? Why foul there?

[starkvegasdawg]

We're getting run out of the gym by one of the worst teams in the sec.

[JohnnyQuid]

Getting curbstomped by a not very good team. Watching us makes me very sleepy

[Noxdog]

I have always supported Scott striklin. I love the Vic Schaefer high and Van was a good hire but so help me if he doesn't Fire Rick Ray I will never support him again and will start advocating his firing.

Get ready to start advocating. It is what is. One more year even if you, me or Algeria does not like it.

But by all means, start your advocating preacher. That's what most preacher's do anyway. You are different than most preachers I know but then again I don't believe you are an actual preacher. Kinda like Father John Misty.

[msstate7]

We're getting run out of the gym by one of the worst teams in the sec.

It all starts and ends with ray. If he loses his job over this, ware and johnson should lose their scholarship too.

[RougeDawg]

Hopefully SS is at this game and squirming.

Thus far we have had a 5 min scoring drought and 7 minutes additional, during 3 small droughts. 12+ minutes without baskets in 35 minutes. And two of those mini droughts were stopped with a free throw.

[Coach34]

You can advocate from the mountain top- Ray aint going anywhere

In the AD's mind- this is his 2nd year

[starkvegasdawg]

Sword has around 35% of our offense tonight.

[Quaoarsking]

I have to say this is the most disappointing result of Ray's entire tenure. I thought we'd moved past games like this.

[BeardoMSU]

I remember how everyone was appalled after the preseason polls all predicted us to finish last in the conference. I remember some quite funny rationales as to how we'd be at least middle of the pack. Welp....here we are. We 17n suck.

[starkvegasdawg]

Three bulldogs standing their having a circle jerk and let a USCe player run up get the rebound and put back.

[msstate7]

Three bulldogs standing their having a circle jerk and let a USCe player run up get the rebound and put back.

And it was a big one. Could've cut lead to 8 or 7

[msstate7]

FOUL SOMEONE ELSE

[Quaoarsking]

68 should've been enough to beat a team like South Carolina.

Wish we'd played like this in one of our last 3 and saved a good effort for today.

[preachermatt83]

Never fear everyone, Next year Ray is gonna get us to the NIT discussion!! whoo!! **

[HailState39110]

I have a hard time wondering why everyone thinks we will even be in the NIT discussion next year . We lose Roq , still haven't adressed our shooting woes, will have no post presence , and are left with a bunch of guys that are very inconsistent besides Sword . Tookie and weather spoon will be good but they will make some freshmen mistakes and will be nothing more than decent role ayers similar to Black and Houston this

[preachermatt83]

But by all means, start your advocating preacher. That's what most preacher's do anyway. You are different than most preachers I know but then again I don't believe you are an actual preacher. Kinda like Father John Misty.

The difference between me and "most preachers you know" is that I'm the exact same everywhere I go. Church, shopping, online... Doesn't matter I'm the same. The last thing I ever want to be is fake. Different one place than I am others. But by all means continue your little sissy rant against me. If "nox" means noxapater then we are only about 10 miles from each other. I would love to sit down for lunch with ya soon and discuss why you think I'm not "a real preacher". You know, like men. I have found that sitting down and discussing differences usually helps the situation. I'll pay.

[quickstrike2]

And that's something to really be proud of.

I don't know if we'll get in nit talk or not, but we'll be better without johnson and bloodman imo. Zuppardo can shoot, but can he rebound and play defense? Houston seems to be coming on. If black can take a step forward, I think we can be in nit talk. I'm not confident though...

Because Ray is a great recruiter. How ironic.

We will be picked towards the bottom of the league next year . LSU has 2 five stars committed, Texas A&M has one 5 star and 3 four stars committed, Pearl has a couple of 4 stars he is bringing in, etc. Everyone in the SEC has recruited at a MUCH higher level than Ray has the past couple of years .

NIT? It's a joke to even have that as a goal anymore. We'll be lucky to have 100 fans a game next year if there isn't a big change.

[thunderclap]

In the AD's mind- this is his 2nd year

Then somebody needs to slap the AD.

[BeardoMSU]

We're getting run out of the gym by one of the worst teams in the sec.

Because we are the worst team in the SEC....let that sink in.

[BeardoMSU]

In the AD's mind- this is his 2nd year

Then the AD is 17'n full retard.

[EMDawg]

Then the AD is 17'n full retard.


That's not exactly the real story. The people that put up the money are singing a different song.

[tcdog70]

I'm extremely disappointed in our upperclassmen. They've been hot garbage today

Our upperclassmen are the only reason we have won a game. Notice that Readys man had a career game, how many times has his man had career games this year? But you can't really blame the players. It all starts and stops with Ray. He doesn't know how to be a head coach. It won't get any better, pull the plug and let's start over. We are burning daylight.

[mcdawg]

This team is and has been for the last three years extremely painful to try to watch. Maybe they can pull it out but I just can't watch anymore. I'll flip by and check the score.

I really don't understand why anybody would watch our team on tv or in person. I would hope everyone would have something better to do.

[Dawg61]

Tookie and weather spoon will be good but they will make some freshmen mistakes and will be nothing more than decent role ayers similar to Black and Houston this

From what I watched Tookie > Ready . Zuppardo > Roq. Weatherspoon > Bloodman. We add Dunlap and maybe Staley. Now if we could hire a coach we should be greatly improved. All depends on whose coaching us. Ray's offense is the worst I've ever seen anywhere. He has absolutely no clue what he's doing on offense. It's like Charles Barkley trying to teach a lamp how to golf.
