You can forget the Big Dance....

[War Machine Dawg]

Unless we somehow win the SECT and go in as a 13 seed. Better be praying we can just make the NIT. This team sucks bad. No bigs to guard inside. The good news: We can't guard the perimeter either.

This squad never had a chance at the Big Dance.

This is basically the exact same team as last year.

[DanDority]

I guess the good news is we know he can recruit....

[Matt3467]

Guys, give him time. At his last 3 stops, it's taken Howland until year 3 to really take off. The first two years at Northern Arizona, Pitt, and UCLA were rebuilding years.

[SDDawg]

My biggest concern is that Malik isn't showing much yet. I know he hasn't practiced in a while and that it's been rough, but I hope that he has a chance to showcase what he can do.

This team is not very good, I think we'll finish .500 or slightly better, best case is NIT for this group barring something crazy in the SECT. Not a chance this team goes to the NCAAT without a SECT championship.

[confucius say]

Well we are averaging nearly 90 points a game. So no, this is not the same team as last year. We just can't defend, and that will be our Achilles hill it seems.

But I'll add, all three teams we have played so far will be tourney teams.

[Coach34]

we dont play any defense- at all. We have regressed there

[Political Hack]

I don't think you can refer to anything tonight as "defense". Maybe we just call it "when they have the ball."

This coach has never scored more than 100 points at Miami. Welcome to MState baby! No heart. No guts.

This team is really hard to watch. Can we fast forward to next year. I'm tired of us sucking in basketball. This team has been cursed under Ray and other than sword and ware are awful. And those two are sporadic

[Bully13]

It doesn't look like we'll ever win another game in any sport again. Damn Obama.

[State82]

I'm just going ahead and anticipating the start of baseball like usual. Probably so I can just be let down again. As soon as I can procure a boat I'm gonna be finished with all this business.

[Bully13]

The buzz kills are getting annoying. Starting with last year's egg bowl. The peaks and valleys. As soon as something nice starts happening we get our nuts kicked in. Shits getting old.

Somebody needs to make sure Newman is going to class. Or starts going.

[CJDAWG85]

I'm just stunned at how Ndoye received a scholarship... He has no clue what he's doing or where he needs to be on the floor.

[BossDawg]

Damn..what were most of our fans thinking? Making the NCAA tournament with basically the same team as last year? Everything is completely new to Howland here, too. I was expecting some pretty bad growing pains.

Just a reminder, hard to make a champ out of chumps.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Howland needs to "process" several others to free up more schollies

No doubt it's going to take time but the lack of give a shit on defense is concerning. Fred and Ware are the only ones playing hard on D in my opinion. If there's no "want" in this team, it'll carry over. We have to see an attitude change and I was hoping that would have occurred already. Howland has his work cut out for him.

[I seen it dawg]

These seniors ****ing suck attitude and heart wise. They can't handle that Newman is the hype and are being big ****ing bitches. When they figure out their last year of basketball is gonna be shit if they don't play hard maybe they step it up. I doubt it bc they are losers.
