Northwestern st game thread

[msstate7]

Wright starts at 3

[MCsMGs]

Zone d...

[msstate7]

This season could be brutal to watch every game

[Dawg61]

Holy shit we are so ****ing terrible

[msstate7]

We're terrible

[Cloak]

I still trust in Howland's process. He's done it everywhere else and he will do it here.

[MCsMGs]

Why do we fall for every head fake and give up an uncontested shot?

[Dawg61]

Bout time for Howland to stop being so nice to his team. This is unacceptable. Honeymoon is over Howland. Start lighting these titty dawgs up.

[msstate7]

I still trust in Howland's process. He's done it everywhere else and he will do it here.

I hope you're right

[Dawg61]

Who the actual **** is Singleton?!

[msstate7]

Come on ready

[msstate7]

Atta boy wright

[Dawg61]

Nice airball Kegler

[Dawg61]

OMG there's about 60 people in the Hump right now

[Thick]

Where are the students?

[msstate7]

So, howland admits we aren't a good 3-Pt shooting team to the announcers, but still allows us to jack up countless 3s

[Dawg61]

Peters hurt or suspended again? Hasn't seen the floor yet

[MCsMGs]

Wright much more aggressive on offense.

[Dawg61]

So, howland admits we aren't a good 3-Pt shooting team to the announcers, but still allows us to jack up countless 3s

I have yet to see him light into one single players ass since he took the job. Have you? I have no tolerance for spineless coaching.

[Dawg61]

Strugg just shot a 3

[msstate7]

Strugg lol

Kegler, I like that

[msstate7]

Have you guys watched South Carolina this year? They may challenge Kentucky... they good

[msstate7]

Herard!

[lamont]

Carter, Kegler, and Holman are the only SEC-ready players we have

[msstate7]

Singleton is a sophomore transfer from somewhere

[msstate7]

Carter, Kegler, and Holman are the only SEC-ready players we have

I think peters could be in that group, but apparently he has major off-court issues

[Cloak]

Where are the students?

Combination of opponent, Q injury, and the weather has a lot of students at home.

[msstate7]

Defense much better

[Dawg61]

I think peters could be in that group, but apparently he has major off-court issues

Yea where is Peters? Kegler is only physically ready. I am not sure he's mentally ready for high school basketball.

[Liverpooldawg]

Exams coming up too.

[msstate7]

Yea where is Peters? Kegler is only physically ready. I am not sure he's mentally ready for high school basketball.

You've gotta assume peters has got himself suspended again

[msstate7]

Wright has an ugly stoke

[Dawg61]

Exams coming up too.

So what we ain't Harvard. Attendance is pathetic. Northwestern State would have more fans in their gym for this game. We should only play road games till somebody notices. That'll take two years.

[Dawg61]

You've gotta assume peters has got himself suspended again

Trying not to, wasn't he cramping really bad in the last game?

[Percho]

GP's DM says Peters not at the hump and they have not been told why.

[HoopsDawg]

GP's DM says Peters not at the hump and they have not been told why.

That's already 2 games he has missed for off the court reasons, not a good omen.

[Dawg61]

GP's DM says Peters not at the hump and they have not been told why.

Not good. I thought we were about to get some great news not terrible news.

[JoseBrown]

GP's DM says Peters not at the hump and they have not been told why.

Wth? Anything yet?

[HoopsDawg]

I like us going big until Stapleton gets back with Keglar at the 3. Holman at the 4 and Herard at the .

[Dawg61]

That's already 2 games he has missed for off the court reasons, not a good omen.

Why can't it be Wright that's the bad apple not Peters damnit

[msstate7]

0-9 from 3... jeez

[Dawg61]

Tied 28's at the half. Hope that good news is the second half.

[Irondawg]

Sure hoping Peters is not Deville Smith 2.0

He had a chance to be the leader of this team and he's. It missed 2 of the last 4 games. Hoping he's just sick

[Thick]

Wtf? Wright's playing hard, much more aggressive on both ends. We are in our 6th game, calm the 17 down.

[lamont]

Peters better wake the **** up and realize this is college basketball and he needs to get with the program. He better get to work cause Q#2 will take his job quickly next year

[Dawg61]

We are losing to Northwestern St. at home

[MarketingBully]

Arkansas State crushed Lehigh and Missouri beat this team by 28. We aren't a good team.

[msstate7]

Arkansas State crushed Lehigh and Missouri beat this team by 28. We aren't a good team.

We're an awful team and I'm beginning to wonder if we signed more than a couple really overrated players.

[sleepy dawg]

We may be the worst team in the conference, and if not we're close. As I said before the season, I'll believe we're improved when I actually see it.

[MarketingBully]

How the hell are we so bad with a player like Kegler. He is the biggest disappointment.

[MarketingBully]

Howland is really disappointing me.

[MarketingBully]

We're an awful team and I'm beginning to wonder if we signed more than a couple really overrated players.

It's coaching not players. Whatever he is doing, it ain't working with this team.

[HoopsDawg]

Peters better wake the **** up and realize this is college basketball and he needs to get with the program. He better get to work cause Q#2 will take his job quickly next year

Nick will be starting next year 100%.

[msstate7]

Howland won big with defense. Now defense isn't allowed... I'm wondering how this affects howland

[HoopsDawg]

Howland is really disappointing me.

You might need to sit this season out or at least until Stapleton gets back.

[msstate7]

Good God, ready

[MarketingBully]

You might need to sit this season out or at least until Stapleton gets back.

We are down by six in the second half to a 300+ RPI team. Tell me you are still "wait and see"

[msstate7]

Ready
Carter
Kegler
Holman
Datcher

That's who I wanna see start

[Dawg61]

0-12 on 3's

[msstate7]

A tie!!!!!

[Cloak]

0-12 on 3's

Was about to post the same thing. That one stings

[Dawg61]

Start Singleton over Kegler till he wants to listen to Howland

[HoopsDawg]

We're an awful team and I'm beginning to wonder if we signed more than a couple really overrated players.

Well Ado and Peters aren't playing. Datcher was sort of a project. We knew Carter needed time to get stronger. There were red flags with Keglar. I like him, he just has to keep maturing and working. Ol Blue warned everyone about Wright. Herard is probably the early disappointment for me. He looks 6'9 to me, not 6'11 and his offensive game is not as refined as I hoped.

[preachermatt83]

Bottom line... Howland is a GREAT recruiter and an avg on the floor coach. If he was anything more he would be at a blue blood.. Not at State. Having said that I think he will get us to the place where we are a tourney team on a semi regular basis.

[MCsMGs]

0-12 on 3's

18 point swing on 3's alone.

[HoopsDawg]

We are down by six in the second half to a 300+ RPI team. Tell me you are still "wait and see"

I'm not wait and see, I'm sold. College hoops is about players and Howland is bringing in players. We will be NIT next year and NCAA in 2 years.

[MarketingBully]

Just play zone and you have a chance against us. Does Howland even practice a zone offense?

[HoopsDawg]

Bottom line... Howland is a GREAT recruiter and an avg on the floor coach. If he was anything more he would be at a blue blood.. Not at State. Having said that I think he will get us to the place where we are a tourney team on a semi regular basis.

You don't make 3 straight final 4's if you are just an average floor coach.

Thank you for changing your avatar and removing that pic as your signature

[Cloak]

I agree. Howland will make State great again, just going to take a little time.

[preachermatt83]

We have to give the guy a little bit of a break. He lost it best player. Our problems are not as much coaching as you think. I mean seriously think about this.. What is our glaring problems... We have no solid player inside and no one to dribble penetrate. That's stuff that can be fixed by 1)getting a true big man and 2) allow Peters to develop and watch Nick spoon and then u will see better dribble penetration. Give it time guys.

[msstate7]

You don't make 3 straight final 4's if you are just an average floor coach.

He did make those final fours playing bruising defense (not allowed anymore) and slow paced offense (we try to get quick shots). Is this concerning to you at all? I'm not freaking out and think howland will be successful,but we aren't using the formula howland rose to success with

[civildawg]

How are we this bad? I mean we look like a intramural team in the Sanderson

[Dawg61]

I think Howland is still walking on eggshells since UCLA up and fired him right after he won the Pac-12 and had the #1 class in the country.

[Dawg61]

Be prepared for Readyball the last 7 minutes. Hope it's the decent Ready this time.

[MarketingBully]

You don't make 3 straight final 4's if you are just an average floor coach.

Oh I agree about his pedigree and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but this is the worst team on our schedule we are playing against.

[MarketingBully]

Why is Kegler so bad? He doesn't look like a good college player much less an NBA player:

[MarketingBully]

Northwestern State kid talking trash....

[preachermatt83]

That was not a travel.

[Dawg61]

Why is Kegler so bad? He doesn't look like a good college player much less an NBA player:

Because he refuses to take coaching

[Liverpooldawg]

Bottom line... Howland is a GREAT recruiter and an avg on the floor coach. If he was anything more he would be at a blue blood.. Not at State. Having said that I think he will get us to the place where we are a tourney team on a semi regular basis.

You mean like UCLA? Sheesh.

[Thick]

If we were hitting 50% of our 3's we would be up 21 without Q. Instead we have to rely on true freshmen, true sophomore, and a short senior point guard. You guys are comparing what other teams have done against our opponents, while not looking at there experience compared to ours. Tonight we have played much more aggressive at the rim, and we are hustling and rebounding on defense. Hell, I want to beat everybody by 15-20, but we're not right now.

[preachermatt83]

This would be a completely diff game with Q

[Irondawg]

I would have to disagree. We are a long way from hustling on defense. It's a tad better but it's nowhere close to good.

[Dawg61]

Holman is now our best player

[Irondawg]

I do agree that even hitting 25% of our 3s would make this seem better

[preachermatt83]

You mean like UCLA? Sheesh.

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not downing Howland. I just don't think he's the same level as a floor coach as Coack K, Self, and the like. I think he will win a lot here ultimately but don't expect him to be a miracle worker on the court.

[Dawg61]

Kegler FINALLY!!

[Dawg61]

I just wish Howland would treat his freshman like Calipari treats his

[msstate7]

Kegler FINALLY!!

He's had 2 nice drives to the basket tonight. Hopefully he's starting to get comfortable

[Liverpooldawg]

How are we this bad? I mean we look like a intramural team in the Sanderson

2nd youngest team in the entire country. They will get better.

[MarketingBully]

Nice gut it out win!

[msstate7]

Hopefully this win will give this team some confidence. Please get your act together peters and heal quickly Stapleton

[Dawg61]

2nd youngest team in the entire country. They will get better.

Bet you aren't watching the game yet you're still commenting. Positive Troll

[Quaoarsking]

It should be pointed out that Northwestern State is a decent program, not nearly as bad as portrayed on this thread. Last year was a down year for them

Who is in Coach K's class? Maybe Boeheim or Pitino? I wouldn't put Self in that class.

I take you aren't going then. I was a season ticket holder with my Dad for 25 years. We gave them up Stans last year as Dad's health started to fail. I've got them again this year but haven't been able to make it yet. That ends Thursday. Sorry to bust your bubble.

Good point ... I'm buying.

[chef dixon]

We have a good bit of players that are at their best when we have a stud like Q running the show. Carter for example is such a good complementary scorer with Q on the floor. Just tough to find an indentity as a team now, especially being so young.
