No basketball thread??....

[maroonmania]

Nobody cares about our chance to grab 7th place??

[msstate7]

Looking good so far

[Bucky Dog]

What channel?

[msstate7]

What channel?

Espn3

[DudyDawg]

Espn 3/watch espn. Up 17 4 early. Playing well on d

[msstate7]

Didn't realize Malik is playing with a shoe that has steel in the sole. It doesn't bend at all. I couldn't imagine playing like that. When he gets healthy, he's gonna go off

[HoopsDawg]

Q first sub off the bench. I like it.

[CadaverDawg]

IJ sucks running the break. And I'm sick of him thinking he's "the guy" late in the shot clock too. He's not. Sword needs to demand the ball more

[maroonmania]

Still believe this team has the potential to be very good. May be in way too deep a hole to get to a tourney by the time we hit our stride but there is a pretty decent amount of individual talent on the team. Just got to learn how to play together and improve our defense in Howland's system.

[chef dixon]

Agreed. I'm very disappointed in Sword's presence being felt so far on this team.

[CadaverDawg]

Ready makes 2 shit plays for every good play.

[JohnnyQuid]

Ready makes 2 shit plays for every good play.

I feel like ready presses to score/do "something" because of malik. lije he has to prove himself or something and ****s up most of the time

[chef dixon]

We foul so much. Its been a theme in every game so far this year. It makes us very hard to watch.

[ScoobaDawg]

Looking good... albeit its a crappy team

[CadaverDawg]

I feel like ready presses to score/do "something" because of malik. lije he has to prove himself or something and ****s up most of the time

I agree. And meanwhile, our best scorer (Sword) rarely touches the ball. He has carried this team the last 3 years and now can't get touches

[chef dixon]

Ndoye!!!

[JohnnyQuid]

I agree. And meanwhile, our best scorer (Sword) rarely touches the ball. He has carried this team the last 3 years and now can't get touches

if we can get sword driving to the basket, start malik Q sword Daniels ware, we'll be agood team before it's all said and done this year.

Q is a freshman and is the most under control guy on the court.never looks flustered

[CadaverDawg]

Someone tell Fallou he's 6 feet 10 inches tall...quit being a sissy trying to take charges, and take your big ass up and block the shot or punish the guy

[msstate7]

I love weatherspoon

[JohnnyQuid]

I love weatherspoon

that's the kinda guy that's gonna stick around 3 yrs + and be an absolute monster

[chef dixon]

Pretty euro step from Quinndary

[CadaverDawg]

I hope our guys are seeing today that we can be so good offensively when we attack the basket instead of settling for 3's

[Coach34]

I agree. And meanwhile, our best scorer (Sword) rarely touches the ball. He has carried this team the last 3 years and now can't get touches

yep- Sword is frustrated and struggling with "not being the guy" this season

[chef dixon]

yep- Sword is frustrated and struggling with "not being the guy" this season

Only problem is Malik is obviously not "the guy" so far either. Ready seems to believe he is.

[JohnnyQuid]

yep- Sword is frustrated and struggling with "not being the guy" this season

He could be one of the guys.. just gotta not take 8 3s in a game. play his game and all good

[JohnnyQuid]

Only problem is Malik is obviously not "the guy" so far either. Ready seems to believe he is.

Gavin is playing great but Malik is pretty much the guy and getting better quickly. he scores 15+ and u really don't even notice till u see the stats

[chef dixon]

Gavin is playing great but Malik is pretty much the guy and getting better quickly. he scores 15+ and u really don't even notice till u see the stats

No i agree that Malik is definitely going to be the guy, but he hasn't done anything YET that should discourage Sword that he can't do his thing anymore.

[JohnnyQuid]

No i agree that Malik is definitely going to be the guy, but he hasn't done anything YET that should discourage Sword that he can't do his thing anymore.

Agree 100. sword doing his thing (driving) only makes this team better and may even get malik some wide open looks

[CadaverDawg]

What a BS tech for "hanging on the rim". He hardly hung on it

[JohnnyQuid]

if Daniels started being hyperagressive and rebounding instead of playing like he's 6'0 it would help SOOOO much

[CadaverDawg]

Zuppardo stinks on D

We aren't playing good so far this half. Lead down to 12, their ball

[msstate7]

This 2nd half start is similar to last night's

[chef dixon]

I'm not liking the vibe of this 2nd half so far

[tupelopix]

15-4 run by Missouri State to start the 2nd. Damn.

[CadaverDawg]

Why the hell is Zuppardo in the game? He sucks. On offense AND defense. He just blew a layup, and double down on the suck by not getting back on D and giving up an ally oop. Get his sorry ass out of there, Ben.

[chef dixon]

We've missed more point blank shots in the last 4 years than any team I've ever seen.

[msstate7]

Get weatherspoon in the game

[JohnnyQuid]

What's mizzou state supposed to be? obviously they're in the 7th place game with us soo...

[CadaverDawg]

And these refs can choke on their whistles. They're already ruining the game without having to call ghost traveling calls and horseshit hanging on the rim technicals.

[JohnnyQuid]

Get weatherspoon in the game

pls. I love malik and Q on court together

[msstate7]

Why the hell is Zuppardo in the game? He sucks. On offense AND defense. He just blew a layup, and double down on the suck by not getting back on D and giving up an ally oop. Get his sorry ass out of there, Ben.

No choice. Ndoye isn't any better and ware can't play all 40. Need Holman or strugg to get back

[CadaverDawg]

Losing this game after a 20+ point lead, may be worse than the SWAC loss

[JohnnyQuid]

without ware this team would be very bad. I'm hoping we get a lot out of holman after christmas

[JohnnyQuid]

Losing this game after a 20+ point lead, may be worse than the SWAC loss

there's no doubt

[msstate7]

Losing this game after a 20+ point lead, may be worse than the SWAC loss

We gonna hold on to win by 1**

I think we're bout to pull away

[JohnnyQuid]

I know these tournys are good and the guys get to travel somewhere exotic but it's gotta suck playing in front of 50 ppl

[chef dixon]

Was hoping this wasn't going to be a game but it looks like its gonna go down to the end.

[JohnnyQuid]

Newman on the dribble drive is a thing of beauty

[HoopsDawg]

Took a 4pt lead to 10 with Ready on the bench.

[JohnnyQuid]

Took a 4pt lead to 10 with Ready on the bench.

can we process ready midseason or trade for a defensive big man. jesus

[msstate7]

Daniels is giving us some big offensive rebounds

[JohnnyQuid]

Daniels playing very well today and hitting the boards

[CadaverDawg]

Nice 3 by Malik there. Big shot

[Rayburn8]

So wait, this is Newman with a steel plate in his shoe and a turf toe?

How good will he be when he is healthy good god.

[CadaverDawg]

Sword & Ware on the give and go is beautiful

[JohnnyQuid]

Newman q sword Daniels ware. starting 5. till they gas or get in foul trouble. definately our best lineup

[CadaverDawg]

It's over now. Good win

[JohnnyQuid]

I see u gavin

[msstate7]

Ware won't be an nba player, but he'll be able to make a living playing basketball

[CadaverDawg]

Gavin is a beast

[CadaverDawg]

IJ is just a disaster. Makes some nice plays and then makes Junior High level errors. I don't get it

[msstate7]

Gavin is a beast

We're another front court player from being a decent team

[JohnnyQuid]

We're another front court player from being a decent team

a real center away yep

[JohnnyQuid]

IJ is just a disaster. Makes some nice plays and then makes Junior High level errors. I don't get it

I'm so over ij. all I can say nicely

[HoopsDawg]

Newman q sword Daniels ware. starting 5. till they gas or get in foul trouble. definately our best lineup

And we hav barely played that lineup together

[msstate7]

We don't play again till Saturday. Hopefully this little break will help Malik get more healthy.

[JohnnyQuid]

And we hav barely played that lineup together

I think that has something to do with keeping upper class men happy with their time. what say u

[mstatefan91]

We won? Well this settles it. The football team can never lose again.

[chef dixon]

Hey IJ had 13 points and 11 dimes today so I can't hate too much.

[mstatefan91]

Hey IJ had 13 points and 11 dimes today so I can't hate too much.

Something tells me that Q could just as easily have those points if IJ wasn't playing.

[chef dixon]

Something tells me that Q could just as easily have those points if IJ wasn't playing.

11 assists was more what I was getting at

[mstatefan91]

11 assists was more what I was getting at

Gotcha. Overlooked that. Fairly hungover from last night

[JohnnyQuid]

Gotcha. Overlooked that. Fairly hungover from last night

quite a few are in the fog today. glorious

[maroonmania]

Actually held a team to 70 points today. Will wonders never cease.

[mstatefan91]

Actually held a team to 70 points today. Will wonders never cease.

I said last night that we are currently living in a bizarro world.

[MCsMGs]

IJ's biggest problem is that he can't stop the ball...every PG we have played against blows by him like he's got cement in his shoes. That puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the team on defense. I'm thinking his minutes will decrease as Malik get healthier.

Malik needs to go left more...He had numerous wide open lanes to the basket today and he constantly went to his right into the gut of the defense. The one time he went left, he had any easy layup.

[chef dixon]

Texas Tech put a nice beat down on Minnesota. Maybe they are a little better than I originally thought. We will come around to play some decent ball this season.
