Dogs are shorthanded tonight at Mizzou as Gavin Ware didn’t make the trip due to a concussion. Also, IJ Ready is questionable (ankle).

Due to lack of numbers, Dogs forced to play zone.

[starkvegasdawg]

Just tuned in. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

[starkvegasdawg]

How is that not a charge?

[ScoobaDawg]

By damn we are playing well it appears from the live stats... not watching right now.

[MSUDawg99]

Wow! Daniels with a nice 3pt swoosh

[ScoobaDawg]

4-8 on 3's Dogs up BIG. 23-11

[ScoobaDawg]

Malik 3-4 on 3's ...11pts. Dogs up 26-15

[starkvegasdawg]

Mizzou can't buy a bucket. Feels like they're shooting around 15%.

[msstate7]

At a marriage conference with my wife, so can't watch or listen... How are we up so much without ware? Is Holman playing well?

[MSUDawg99]

Holman has 2. Sword with 2 nice blocks. Zone play is good. Q & Newman making 3's.

[starkvegasdawg]

Up 17 at the half. Newman with 11.

[Statefan]

37-20 State at half

Malik with 11, Q with 9

[Mjoelner34]

The last play of the half is why senior day is going to be great!

[MSUDawg99]

Mind me asking what a marriage conference is? Is it like group marital counseling?

[starkvegasdawg]

Yes. Yes it is.

Kirk Cameron love worth fighting for tour... Christian marriage advice... Not here bc marriage falling apart like our recruiting class haha

Another possible explanation would have been a bunch of married couples together at a hotel, who all happen to be in open relationships. Lol. Glad it's not that. Unless you're into that thing of course

[starkvegasdawg]

Newman a sniper behind the line tonight.

YUP!!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Mizzou 1-15 for 3. They must not have gotten the memo teams are supposed to make them all against us.

[starkvegasdawg]

Dammit Sword.

[bluelightstar]

It's like whenever I turn on the game Craig Sword is turning the ball over

[Goldendawg]

Homan just got robbed on what should have been a clean block.

[Goldendawg]

They are on a big run and have cut it to 11, but Fred shooting 2 FT's and just missed the first, 1 of 2.

[starkvegasdawg]

How many point blank misses was that?

[Jacksondevildog]

Have I told you lately how bad Thomas is?

[mstatefan91]

If we somehow lose tonight, it will optimize this team.

[mstatefan91]

Never seen a ref go explain the call to the tv broadcast guys in any sport... ever.. weird

[CadaverDawg]

We are so lazy with the ball on offense at times. Ugh.

On a brighter note....How much does everyone love Spoon? That guy is my favorite player hands down.

[Rayburn8]

You must not watch much basketball. They do it all the time.

[mstatefan91]

I admit that I primarily watch MSU basketball. I will occasionally watch other big college matchups. Never NBA.

Interesting that Wyatt also said he's never seen it before and he is a media guy.. idk lol

Huge road win for the Bulldogs. 76-62 against Mizzou!! Always good to win on the road. #HailState

[ScoobaDawg]

I think everyone needs to take the night off the NCAA mess and enjoy...yes Mizzo is shitty but we played damn good without Ware.

[MSUDawg99]

Big 12 went 7-3 against SEC teams in the Big 12/SEC challenge. Upiss lost by 6 or so to Kansas St. So theres that.

[mic]

Love how I get on check out the in games and we lose the thread is at least 6-7 pages..
But when it's a win.. It's crickets..

Any road win is a good win..
Newman is understanding and getting comfortable with the college game.
Spoon is just a soild all around player.. Very good basketball IQ.. His rebounding proves that..
Daniels and Fred played well..

We have 4 out of next 5 at home. All 4 winnable.

I don't think come sec tourney time that any one is going to be excited about playing us in the first couple of rounds..

7-4. We just beat Missouri ******

[MSUDawg99]

Ha! Touche'.

[msstate7]

Q with the double-double (18 pts 14 rebs)... I love this kid

[Irondawg]

I know mizzou is nothing special but we shouldn't be able to beat anybody without ware down low so this was a great effort by the dawgs. Unfortunately this is going to be a "what if" year as I still think we had NIT talent

[MarketingBully]

I watched the game and just didn't want to comment on the thread. :). Daniels stepped up big tonight. If he plays like that the rest of the way, we will get to 9-9 in the conference. He can help us in rebounding and when he was open from the three point line he shot it and hit a couple. I am excited for him. I will gladly eat crow tonight on him. We were sharing the ball and did a great job especially in the first half. In the first half, we had 10 assists on 13 baskets. That is awesome.

We have some winnable games coming up. We play Alabama at the Hump on Tuesday and should have a chance there. We then go on the road at LSU which will be an L but then will get Arkansas, Georgia, and Vanderbilt at home. All winnable games. If Newman and Q continue to improve like they have, we should be in every game and I think we could get a couple of upsets down the stretch.

We did but it just took us too long to get used to playing together and I think Newman's turf toe injury hurt him more then we could have anticipated. Our chemistry tonight was great. We shared the ball very well today. They are really taking well to Coach Howland's coaching as well. If we keep improving, 16-14 (9-9) is not out of the question.

If we get to 16-14, we need to pay to play in CBI

[NYDawg]

Winning without Ware in the lineup is nothing to sneeze at even against Mizzou. The freshmen are coming along, and the seniors made fewer freshman mistakes. I'll take it.

[TXDawg]

I think we slowed it down a bit too much a bit too early when we got up by 20+. I understand the concept of "time & score", but I think we went to it a bit too early tonight.

That said...I love seeing Newman's progress lately. I can't describe how excited I am about Q - might he be our next Super D (my favorite player of all time). Holman continues to improve. The next couple of years could be pretty exciting for our program. As one who was a student in the early-mid 90's, I can't wait.

[Liverpooldawg]

We are getting better. We still have only two players and one of those is just showing glimpses of coming around. Any win is a nice one at this point so well done guys! I will also say this: if we get an invite to ANY postseason ANYTHING this year we take it. I don't care if it is an embarrassment. The extra practice for the younger guys with a REAL coach would be worth it.

[BayouDawg]

Great win tonight. A conference road win is always good no matter who the opponent. Bama comes to the Hump next and that's a winnable game
