State at LSU basketball game

[BayouDawg]

About to head out grab some all you can eat pancakes from IHOP and head to red stick. Anybody else goin to the game today?

[Political Hack]

Must win this early in the season? It's arguable to me, but I'd say it's a "must play well" game for us. If we tank again, might be a brutal season down the stretch.

With such a young team, we really need this game bc at Arkansas, aTm, Kentucky, and at Tennessee will be a very tough stretch. Lose today and I think we're 0-6 starting the sec unless aTm can't get it together

[Dawg61]

Kentucky is the only guaranteed lose there, Arkansas, aTm and Tennessee suck just like us but I agree that we really need a win today vs a bad LSU team.

[msstate7]

At Arkansas is gonna be really tough. aTm's Tyler Davis will absolutely murder us. I may be giving Tennessee too much credit.

I agree with this.

[klong-dog]

At Arkansas is gonna be really tough. aTm's Tyler Davis will absolutely murder us. I may be giving Tennessee too much credit.

Tennessee went on the road and won by 10 @ A&M. Yeah that will be a tough one also.

[thf24]

I may be giving Tennessee too much credit.

Tennessee is almost as young as us and not as talented. They've played a vastly harder non-conference schedule so far so record isn't an accurate comparison, but I think they're as beatable, if not more, than LSU.

[msstate7]

I will say this though... with as many 3s as we shoot, we could beat any of those teams save Kentucky if we hit 40% or better

[38843dawg]

This ^^. This is also why the Alabama loss was so shameful because that was an early opportunity to get an SEC win. Lose today and you are looking at best 1-5

[BayouDawg]

The way we let Bama beat us down the court so often was what was really discouraging to me. We played with half ass effort and were still in the game. It's a mental and maturity thing with this team

[lamont]

Kentucky is the only guaranteed lose there, Arkansas, aTm and Tennessee suck just like us but I agree that we really need a win today vs a bad LSU team.

we lost today and we will start the SEC at 2-8

[lamont]

Kentucky is the only guaranteed lose there, Arkansas, aTm and Tennessee suck just like us but I agree that we really need a win today vs a bad LSU team.

you are wrong as usual. We gonna have a rough start in the SEC schedule

[smootness]

I will say this though... with as many 3s as we shoot, we could beat any of those teams save Kentucky if we hit 40% or better

Yep. You just never know what we're going to look like. Wouldn't surprise me if we win, or if we lose by double digits.

[CadaverDawg]

I look at it from a home/road perspective. We already lost a home game, & we know UK will make it 2. So we gotta make those 2 up somewhere if we want to try & find a way to .500 (which I know is unlikely). Gotta think LSU is one of our few most winnable road games, so we need to get this one.

[CadaverDawg]

Yep. You just never know what we're going to look like. Wouldn't surprise me if we win, or if we lose by double digits.

I agree

[DudyDawg]

Had as much to do with long shots and long rebounds and us being 1 and done almost every trip.

[lamont]

winnable game we need to show up for and win. Need it badly

[Dawg61]

you are wrong as usual. We gonna have a rough start in the SEC schedule

you saying Arkansas, aTm and Tennessee don't suck cause that'd be the only way I am wrong here? "Wrong as usual" hahaha

[preachermatt83]

Kentucky is the only guaranteed lose there, Arkansas, aTm and Tennessee suck just like us but I agree that we really need a win today vs a bad LSU team.
Ark doesn't suck

[MarketingBully]

Meh, if we play like we did against Alabama I could see a 2-8 start. If we start to learn and play hard, get back on defense instead of loafing back like we did most of the time against Alabama, and be patient on the offensive end, we will win more then we lose. The SEC is a terrible conference. I am sitting here watching an unwatchable shitty game between UGA and Missouri. Missouri is a shit team. That said, if we can shut Blakeney down and someone else step up for us besides Q we will win the LSU game easily.

[MarketingBully]

If you shut down either Frazier or Maten for UGA, you can beat them. You don't have to shut both of them down. You take those two off of UGA and they are shit.

[Liverpooldawg]

This will apply to every game we play: if the threes fall we might have a chance. If they don't we probably don't have a chance.

[MarketingBully]

We will need Stapleton and Q to harass Blakeney all day today. Q just needs to play straight up D and not take those chances he has taken every game. If he can learn that, our defense will improve immensely. The only time Alabama was able to get to the basket in our defensive half court game was when Q took those chances missed and allowed them to get to the basket.

[messageboardsuperhero]

With our combination of youth and talent, every SEC game we play (sans UK) is winnable- and every game is loseable. Just gotta roll with it and watch this young team grow up. The league is not good and 17 of our 18 are games we could win- and also games we could lose.

The only way that I am remotely concerned about the program is if we are not any better at the end of the season than we are now... and I think that scenario is highly unlikely.

our struggle is in the post. Reath and Victor are our concerns much more than Blakeney

[MarketingBully]

our struggle is in the post. Reath and Victor are our concerns much more than Blakeney

Lol, it's Blakeney. If Reath and Victor lead LSU, we beat the shit out of them.

[HoopsDawg]

our struggle is in the post. Reath and Victor are our concerns much more than Blakeney

Victor was kicked off the team. LSU sucks. If we can't win this game, it's going to be a really long year.

[MarketingBully]

Victor was kicked off the team. LSU sucks. If we can't win this game, it's going to be a really long year.

Oh yeah, that's right. Epps is their starting center. Yeah, Blakeney is the key to stopping LSU.

[HoopsDawg]

Oh yeah, that's right. Epps is their starting center. Yeah, Blakeney is the key to stopping LSU.

Hopefully, Q and Blakeney cancel each other out. This needs to be the game that Peters takes over as our PG. Ready needs to have his minutes cut to 25 max.

[MarketingBully]

I'm calling it. Peters has a lights out game and Q bounces back and score 20 and we beat LSU 75-70.

[MarketingBully]

Hopefully, Q and Blakeney cancel each other out. This needs to be the game that Peters takes over as our PG. Ready needs to have his minutes cut to 25 max.

I think Peters has a break out game today as he will have a lot of friends and family there and will want to prove something against LSU. Of course, I would also love for Kegler to go off as well....

[lamont]

Reath goes for 14 and 6 a night- we have to keep him from hurting us.

Didnt hear about Victor- thats good news

Blakeney is going to get his points- have to control the others

[CadaverDawg]

I think Peters has a break out game today as he will have a lot of friends and family there and will want to prove something against LSU. Of course, I would also love for Kegler to go off as well....

When Kegler starts playing to his potential and gets his ass inside the 3 point line...we'll start winning more. He needs to start playing like Mario Kegler, instead of Kodi Augustus. He has the ability to take over games...once he realizes that, we'll take off. Imo

[HoopsDawg]

Agree, he is the one guy that can take us to the next level. This team needs to be led by Q, Keglar,and Peters with everyone else playing their roles.

[CadaverDawg]

I agree. Holman plays his role very well, as does Carter & Stapleton..so get Kegler rolling with Q & Peters, suddenly you have a force. Steady continued improvement from Herard will help too of course....but he'll never be a the type to take over.

[MarketingBully]

I agree. Holman plays his role very well, as does Carter & Stapleton..so get Kegler rolling with Q & Peters, suddenly you have a force.

I think that happens by the end of the year. You add Nick Weatherspoon to that mix next year and you have a very dangerous fun offensive team.

[msstate7]

Stapleton gonna play today?

[MarketingBully]

Stapleton gonna play today?

I'm sure. The MRI was negative. He should be able to go.

[Dawg61]

When Kegler starts playing to his potential and gets his ass inside the 3 point line...we'll start winning more. He needs to start playing like Mario Kegler, instead of Kodi Augustus. He has the ability to take over games...once he realizes that, we'll take off. Imo

Won't be happening anytime soon unfortunately. Kegler has all the tools except the most important one upstairs. He plays passive basketball and constantly settles for contested 3's. He's down to 33% on the year for 3's and trending down not up. Does Kegler have a dunk this year yet? Imagine being that big and that athletic and never even trying to dunk the ball? Mind boggling.

Speaking of dunks... is anyone else sick of seeing Herard attempt layup after layup down low? Herard, you aren't ready... dunk the ball!

[Dawg61]

Speaking of dunks... is anyone else sick of seeing Herard attempt layup after layup down low? Herard, you aren't ready... dunk the ball!

Yes. I'd like to see Datcher get more minutes till Herard doesn't seem confused 100% of the time. Oh and speaking about "wrong as usual" how's aTm doing this year after winning the SEC last year and then losing Stansbury?

[smootness]

Yes. I'd like to see Datcher get more minutes till Herard doesn't seem confused 100% of the time. Oh and speaking about "wrong as usual" how's aTm doing this year after winning the SEC last year and then losing Stansbury?

I want Herard in as much as possible. I like Datcher, but Herard is our future center. He needs to get as much experience as possible.

[msstate7]

I want Herard in as much as possible. I like Datcher, but Herard is our future center. He needs to get as much experience as possible.

Then sit him after he goes up so passively, then put him back out there till he goes up strong

[HoopsDawg]

Speaking of dunks... is anyone else sick of seeing Herard attempt layup after layup down low? Herard, you aren't ready... dunk the ball!

No, after watching Herard miss 3 easy dunks in games, I just want him to make it.

[Big4Dawg]

GJ Howland

[Dawg61]

I want Herard in as much as possible. I like Datcher, but Herard is our future center. He needs to get as much experience as possible.

Herard will have to fight to get minutes next year

[HoopsDawg]

Going with Peters at PG and Mario at the 3 to start. I like it. We have to have more rebounding and Q needs another scorer in there since teams are focusing so much on him. Good move Howland, i hope it works out.

[smootness]

Herard will have to fight to get minutes next year

Maybe, but he's got tons of potential. We need him playing if we want him to have a chance to get there.

[msstate7]

No, after watching Herard miss 3 easy dunks in games, I just want him to make it.

He isn't shooting any better on the layups than the dunks. That's what's so frustrating with Herard... he can get in a position to score, but can't finish.

[HoopsDawg]

He isn't shooting any better on the layups than the dunks. That's what's so frustrating with Herard... he can get in a position to score, but can't finish.

You gotta remember this kid was a 6'1 soccer player 4 years ago. He's only been playing basketball for 3 or 4 years.

[msstate7]

Peters 1
Q 2
Kegler 3
Holman 4
Herard 5
?

[HoopsDawg]

Peters 1
Q 2
Kegler 3
Holman 4
Herard 5
?

Yep

[msstate7]

You gotta remember this kid was a 6'1 soccer player 4 years ago. .

Explains the awkwardness

[msstate7]

Yep

My boy, datcher will get mins today then

[msstate7]

Come on Q

[Dawg61]

I like the size of this lineup

[msstate7]

Herard, he listens to me haha

[smootness]

Herard with the dunk to start hahaha

[Dawg61]

Holman 5-32 on 3's

[msstate7]

Thank you, kegler

[msstate7]

Not getting back

[msstate7]

Datcher!!

[RocketDawg]

Rebounding well today.

[Dawg61]

Nice shot Datcher! Announcers said he missed the Bama game cause of a thumb injury

[msstate7]

So frustrating that we give up so many easy baskets not getting back

[Dawg61]

Peters with a sweet pass that Datcher can't finish. Peters plays at a speed way faster than everyone else. He sees/anticipates basketball so well. Heard with a nice baby hook. Team looks much better than vs Bama.

[Dawg61]

Boom Eli Wright finally!!! Then he fouls a dude shooting a brick 3....****

[msstate7]

Stapleton obviously unavailable

[Red Sox Dawg]

Bad foul by Wright. This team has a lot to learn.

[DudyDawg]

Holman isn't a good enough jump shooter to play stretch 4 but he is an outstanding defender at that spot. Gets him out from banging in the lane and lets him hedge and use his length. I like he and Herard on the floor together.

[smootness]

Peters with a sweet pass that Datcher can't finish. Peters plays at a speed way faster than everyone else. He sees/anticipates basketball so well. Heard with a nice baby hook. Team looks much better than vs Bama.

He does need to figure out when to slow it down just a tad. He's just barely out of control at times. That will come, though.

[CadaverDawg]

Holman has a great Bball IQ. Knows he is tall & athletic as shit & tries to dunk everything when in the paint. Wish Herard would play as angry & try to dunk everything. Herard is soft, but hopefully will grow to be more aggressive

[smootness]

Holman has a great Bball IQ. Knows he is tall & athletic as shit & tries to dunk everything. Wish Herard would play as angry & try to dunk everything. Herard is soft

Herard is learning the game. He's obviously a bit hesitant and needs to gain confidence, but that doesn't mean he's soft.

[msstate7]

Richard cross is a douche on head 2 head, but he's very solid calling basketball and baseball games

[DudyDawg]

Looks like X is in

[msstate7]

Stapleton obviously unavailable

Wrong again... surprised wright came in first

[CadaverDawg]

Herard is learning the game. He's obviously a bit hesitant and needs to gain confidence, but that doesn't mean he's soft.

Let me rephrase...plays too soft for his size

[msstate7]

I'd rather see Holman shoot 3s than X

[Red Sox Dawg]

Still not very good on defense. And we are turning the ball over a lot early.

[smootness]

Great pass from Kegler

[msstate7]

Kegler has potential to be great

[Red Sox Dawg]

Keller can be really good

[Dawg61]

surprised wright came in first

I'm not looks like Howland is trying to spark him to come alive somewhat. He's way behind the other freshman.

[smootness]

This team looks really good at times. Next year is gonna be fun.

[civildawg]

Peters is just on a different level

[msstate7]

I think datcher may end up the steal of the class.

[Dawg61]

I'd rather see Holman shoot 3s than X

I wouldn't. 37-125 for his career. 4-10 this year. He's not a great 3 shooter yet but he's shooting it way better than Holman.

[smootness]

Herard is gradually coming along.

[msstate7]

We have bigs... scoring! Wow

[msstate7]

I wouldn't. 37-125 for his career. 4-10 this year. He's not a great 3 shooter yet but he's shooting it way better than Holman.

I must have only been paying attention on the 6 he missed bc they were ugly

[TheRef]

We have bigs... scoring! Wow

Who is this team, and what have they done to the team I saw last week? Let's keep them.

[Dawg61]

Herard is gradually coming along.

He's having a nice game so far

[smootness]

Good grief, Peters.

[smootness]

Who is this team, and what have they done to the team I saw last week? Let's keep them.

Haha like I said, that will be us for the rest of the year. We'll look bad again before too long.

[smootness]

Alright, Wright...I see you.

[msstate7]

Wright is showing something today

[MarketingBully]

It's called a talented team learning on the fly what it takes to win in this league. We are a very talented team that is just really young.

[Dawg61]

Wright, Herard, Datcher, Kegler all seem to be having their best games of the year today. Eli already has 7 points. Where's he been all year? Peters slept in one day but Wright slept in for 5 straight months.

[RougeDawg]

This team looks really good at times. Next year is gonna be fun.

Where have I heard this before? Just messin with you. I know the feeling.

[smootness]

Datcher!

[smootness]

Stapleton!

[smootness]

Q!

[bluelightstar]

where did this team come from

[smootness]

LSU looks straight up horrendous.

[RougeDawg]

One consistent positive I've seen from God team is the bigs shooting free throws. Nice to see them be able to knock down FT's when they get fouled.

[RocketDawg]

where did this team come from

Much more aggressive. It's like they didn't even want to play the last game. I guess Howland somehow lit a fire under them.

[smootness]

Goodness, this is fun.

[RougeDawg]

Anyone noticing how hard it is for Dick to announce this game when we are ahead?

[RocketDawg]

Anyone noticing how hard it is for Dick to announce this game when we are ahead?

Well, no. Of course, I'm not familiar with him on H2H but I think he does a good job announcing.

[smootness]

Peters has a chance to be flat out ridiculous.

[civildawg]

Peters is just so fun to watch. He slices through double screens with ease

[Dawg61]

We scored 58 points vs Bama. We have 49 points in this first half.

[msstate7]

Good for ready. I think peters will be the point going forward, but ready can be an asset off the bench

[Dawg61]

Holman is shutting me up!! Two 3's for him. We have 52 points at halftime!!!

[RougeDawg]

Peters is just so fun to watch. He slices through double screens with ease

Him coaching and telling others things during timeouts is another big thing for a freshman.

[Dawg61]

Peters is just so fun to watch. He slices through double screens with ease

Yea he's special. If we can't sell out the Hump with Peters and Nick Spoon making highlight reel plays over and over we need to blow it up and play in the Tin Gym.

[HoopsDawg]

We played 10 guys in the first half, but it worked out. A lot of unselfish play. Good effort on defense and everyone is helping out on the boards.

[HoopsDawg]

Holman is shutting me up!! Two 3's for him. We have 52 points at halftime!!!

Yes, but they were both WIDE open. I hope that doesn't encourage him to start jacking up more.

[ShotgunDawg]

Johnny Jones is about to get "Howlanded"

[RougeDawg]

Have we used these lineup combinations much this year? We seem much more fluid. Or is it just a result of a Johnny Jones coached team?

[civildawg]

I was thinking the same thing. I hope he just doesn't start jacking them up now

[HoopsDawg]

Have we used these lineup combinations much this year? We seem much more fluid. Or is it just a result of a Johnny Jones coached team?

A new starting lineup and a lot of new combo's. Just like a lot of people in this thread lost their mind after Bama, don't get carried away by 1 half vs LSU. They are really bad. Beat USM by only 17 points.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Peters just took over

[Percho]

Much more aggressive. It's like they didn't even want to play the last game. I guess Howland somehow lit a fire under them.

Maybe he hollered at them!

[HoopsDawg]

Peters just took over

It was obvious he needed to be starting, but it's SO refreshing to have a coach who will make that move of benching a senior for the clearly more talented guy. I'm glad Ready accepted his role off the bench. And I'm glad we have a coach who can make that move relative early in the season.

[MarketingBully]

Have we used these lineup combinations much this year? We seem much more fluid. Or is it just a result of a Johnny Jones coached team?

It's a result of young players starting to get it. I think having Ado in practice has definitely helped Herard's development in the post. It was only a matter of time before the light came on for Eli. This is the type of basketball Howland is wanting. As a young team, we are finally starting to execute it. Just takes time for young kids to gel together. Easily our best half of basketball. I just want us to come out in the second half with the same intensity. If we do that, we win this game by 20+.

[HoopsDawg]

Maybe he hollered at them!

LOLOLOL, NICE

[MarketingBully]

It was obvious he needed to be starting, but it's SO refreshing to have a coach who will make that move of benching a senior for the clearly more talented guy. I'm glad Ready accepted his role off the bench. And I'm glad we have a coach who can make that move relative early in the season.

Ready has 9 points and 5 assists off the bench. Shit yeah this is working!

[smootness]

Have we used these lineup combinations much this year? We seem much more fluid. Or is it just a result of a Johnny Jones coached team?

Combination of things, I think. Peters running the show, several guys are on, and yes, Johnny Jones suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

[CadaverDawg]

Boom! What a half!

10 guys scored?? Wow

Fun

[JoseBrown]

It was obvious he needed to be starting, but it's SO refreshing to have a coach who will make that move of benching a senior for the clearly more talented guy. I'm glad Ready accepted his role off the bench. And I'm glad we have a coach who can make that move relative early in the season.

Ready had a sore knee and didn't practice all week.

[HoopsDawg]

Ready has 9 points and 5 assists off the bench. Shit yeah this is working!

And Ready played 10 minutes, that's the perfect amount. He needs about 20 minutes a game. I said pre-game, 25 max.

[HoopsDawg]

Ready had a sore knee and didn't practice all week.

Nooo, don't tell me that!!! I want to believe it was Howland waking up.

[Dawg61]

We played 10 guys in the first half, but it worked out. A lot of unselfish play. Good effort on defense and everyone is helping out on the boards.

We have 8 freshman alone we have to play more than 8 guys so they can continue to develop and gel together.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Peters should start, or at least play the majority of the minutes. Talent.

[smootness]

Herard!

[gtowndawg]

Kareem Herard!

[msstate7]

Herard and datcher are my favorite part of this game. If they can keep this up, we can be a decent team

[smootness]

Boooooooooom!

[Red Sox Dawg]

Kegler is good

[Dawg61]

Maybe he hollered at them!

I know you're joking but that's actually probably what it was. Hope he ripped them all week long. You can hear him screaming "BACKKKKKK" when LSU gets a rebound today. I didn't hear that on Tuesday.

[HoopsDawg]

Hang in there Lamar, those were 2 good shots. He got himself wide open.

[msstate7]

hey hoops,

Suck it

Sincerely,
IJ


Haha

[Big4Dawg]

Peters didn't look happy with Ready

[smootness]

Peters didn't look happy with Ready

I don't think he was upset with Ready. I think he was just upset and Ready was trying to encourage him.

[HoopsDawg]

hey hoops,

Suck it

Sincerely,
IJ


Haha

Settle down, I like IJ. I just don't like him playing 35 minutes a game.

[HoopsDawg]

I don't think he was upset with Ready. I think he was just upset and Ready was trying to encourage him.

Agree, I think Peters wasn't happy he got pulled after those 2 misses and Ready was trying to settle him down. Peters just kept saying I know, I know.

[RocketDawg]

I wish they'd lose that Allstate ad ....

[HoopsDawg]

I don't like this lineup.

[msstate7]

Where's wright? He led the big run

[HoopsDawg]

I don't like this lineup.

Just like clockwork, 4-0 run.

[Red Sox Dawg]

LSU making a slight run let's settle down

[msstate7]

Peters showing this half why ready will continue to get his mins for a while anyway

[Red Sox Dawg]

Q

[CadaverDawg]

Good effort, Herard!

[msstate7]

Holman at 4 >>>>>> Holman at 5

[Dawg61]

Wow very nice drive by Holman that was impressive!

[Red Sox Dawg]

Holman with 3 blocks. Having his best game

[CadaverDawg]

Holman impacts the game so much with his length. Really like this guy. I love where our team is headed

[smootness]

Holman with 3 blocks. Having his best game

Eh. He's had several really good games. He's underrated even by our own fans, I think.

[Dawg61]

We have 6 blocks so far

[msstate7]

So on a breakaway, they stop play for a tech? That's BS... let em finish run out then call tech

[smootness]

So on a breakaway, they stop play for a tech? That's BS... let em finish run out then call tech

Agreed

[CadaverDawg]

Eli MF Wright! What a game this team is having. Should do wonders for confidence

[RocketDawg]

So on a breakaway, they stop play for a tech? That's BS... let em finish run out then call tech

Agree. I don't really agree with the technical anyway, ever though we got a point out of it.

[tireddawg]

nm

[msstate7]

Peters... nice

[smootness]

Peters. He good.

[starkvegasdawg]

What in enjoying is no Stansbury stall. We have a huge lead and still pushing tempo. This is going for the throat and not giving them a chance to get back in it.

[Dawg61]

Eh. He's had several really good games. He's underrated even by our own fans, I think.

He gets tons of compliments from our fans. I think we rate him fairly.

[starkvegasdawg]

Just me or does the lsu coach look like he really needs to go pinch a loaf on the sideline?

[Dawg61]

What in enjoying is no Stansbury stall. We have a huge lead and still pushing tempo. This is going for the throat and not giving them a chance to get back in it.

omg you are so right!! Stansbury did that shit everytime we got a 20 point lead.

[smootness]

He gets tons of compliments from our fans. I think we rate him fairly.

Ok

[ShotgunDawg]

Must've chewed their ass out***

[Dawg61]

Just me or does the lsu coach look like he really needs to go pinch a loaf on the sideline?

Why wait his team is leaving one on the court he might as well join them

[msstate7]

Q has been such a garbage man today. Love that

[smootness]

This is the best we've looked in 5 years.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Eh. He's had several really good games. He's underrated even by our own fans, I think.

Yes he has. I think this may be his best. 2 more rebounds for a double double...would be his second, first in SEC game this year for him.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm very pleased with this response after a bad home loss

[msstate7]

Get wright in the game

[Dawg61]

Peters got that shit rejected so bad haha

[Red Sox Dawg]

Need to play hard these last 5 minutes and not let them back in it

[HoopsDawg]

I don't love the Peters and Ready backcourt. It's not necessary.

[msstate7]

Holman has to play more at the 4. He can drive

[Dawg61]

Aric Jordan

[CadaverDawg]

I love the way Holman is diving for loose balls

[RocketDawg]

Getting a little nerve-wracking now ....

[msstate7]

I love carter, but we've played our worst today with him in

[CadaverDawg]

Getting a little nerve-wracking now ....

We good

[Dawg61]

Too much potential in Kegler's game for him to only settle for 3's all game. Looks like he's starting to see that now.

[RocketDawg]

We good

I've seen too many Stansbury stalls/folds I suppose.

[MarketingBully]

I hate the stall offense. It gets you out of your rhythm.

[CadaverDawg]

We need to get our best 5 in the game now & put em away

[Red Sox Dawg]

If LSU keeps hitting 3's it's going to get a little too exciting.

[Dawg61]

I love carter, but we've played our worst today with him in

Seems like Ready has been on the court with him at the same time though. Wright stole Carter's production on the bus ride to the gym.

[HoopsDawg]

I love carter, but we've played our worst today with him in

Carter's going to be a heck of a player, but he's just not physically ready yet. All he can really do at this point is knock down shots.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Q with a big rebound

[msstate7]

Good job, ready

[msstate7]

6 TOs by Q

[HoopsDawg]

Q with 6 turnovers today. It's easy to forget he's just a soph.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow

[MarketingBully]

I hate SEC refs!

[CadaverDawg]

Carter's going to be a heck of a player, but he's just not physically ready yet. All he can really do at this point is knock down shots.

Yea needs to hit the weight room this off season

[Dawg61]

Peters with the dagger

[starkvegasdawg]

How was that not a charge?

[Bucky Dog]

Where was this team all year? For the most part we gave. Great effort on D and on the boards especially. Our D hand their hands up and were guarding passing lanes and we went after O boards. I can recall 4 by Q alone. A little sloppy towards the end but that is expected. This one that makes you want a do over against Bama!

[MarketingBully]

Refs trying to help LSU out. All calls going LSU's way.

[Dawg61]

Yea needs to hit the weight room this off season

Relardo Sidney for weight training coach

We're only 14 games into their Fr years, ha. They've been learning & getting better

[Red Sox Dawg]

Big game for us to go on the road and get a win. Real encouraging sign.

[msstate7]

Huge win for our young team

[MarketingBully]

**** you LSU asshats! Woot kicked that Tiger ass!

[CadaverDawg]

Good win, boys! Way to bounce back

[RocketDawg]

Relardo Sidney for weight training coach

You meant "gaining"?

[Dawg61]

You meant "gaining"?

Ahhh yes I did mean gaining

[Red Sox Dawg]

Add N. Weatherspoon and Brooks and even loosing Ready and someone else we will have 12-13 players that will deserve minutes. Future looks bright.

[msstate7]

Ado also... hell, feazell was wanted by a really good basketball program (Iowa state)

[Red Sox Dawg]

Forgot about him. How do you divide up minutes for all 13?

[Dawg61]

Ready with a very nice interview after the game

[msstate7]

Forgot about him. How do you divide up minutes for all 13?

Gotta go with top 10. RS feazell

[Red Sox Dawg]

And Dick said from Starkville and IJ looked at him like what? Ha

[Dawg61]

Forgot about him. How do you divide up minutes for all 13?

By competing for them in practice

[Red Sox Dawg]

Obviously. But my point is we will have a lot of talent and they can all play.

[RougeDawg]

Great effort today and smart basketball. The extra pass as BH stated in post game, was huge. Don't think LSU was expecting that from us and we took advantage. This could be the game that catapults us into rest of season. Hopefully they get a want to win from this one and don't start to think it's easy. I think Holland will keep them grounded based on IJ's post game interview.

[LC Dawg]

Gotta go with top 10. RS feazell
That will be good for Feazell if he'll embrace it. He won't be ready next year imo.

[Liverpooldawg]

Nice effort today. When the threes fall we can beat a lot of people.

[MarketingBully]

Where's Liverpool at? Can we now agree our biggest issue has been youth and certainly not talent?

[MarketingBully]

Nice effort today. When the threes fall we can beat a lot of people.

Did you see how many points in the paint we had and our rebounding effort? If we played like this against Alabama, we would have crushed them as well.

[RougeDawg]

Nice effort today. When the threes fall we can beat a lot of people.

Threes were more wide open because of the transition offense, driving to the hole, and making the extra passes. We kept them off balance all day by taking it low, bringing it back out high and then back down low. Ball movement opened up threes and layups.

[smootness]

Too much potential in Kegler's game for him to only settle for 3's all game. Looks like he's starting to see that now.

He took as many 3's today as a typical game.

[MarketingBully]

29 points and 17 boards from our bigs. Not too bad for just hitting threes.

[MarketingBully]

Holman had 17/9 and two blocks in 26 minutes. Really awesome stat line for him.

[MarketingBully]

He took as many 3's today as a typical game.

I'll take what he gave us today all day. He had 11/7. He gave great effort today. And took wide open three point shots in the flow of the offense. Was 2-5 today from 3 pt line.

[smootness]

I know, I'm not criticizing the way he played. I'm saying Dawg61 doesn't know what he's talking about.

And I was wrong, he took more 3's than normal today. 5 of his 7 shots, made no 2's.

[Bothrops]

I thought we outmatched their guys pretty well.
Great win for Howland and team!!

[Liverpooldawg]

Did you see how many points in the paint we had and our rebounding effort? If we played like this against Alabama, we would have crushed them as well.

Everything works better for this team when the threes fall. We shot 50% on the threes. The effort was much better.

[Bully13]

That sums it up imo. Young and inexperienced but the talent is there.

We are a work in progress. Didn't like seeing what appears to be attitude between ready and peters. Need to nip that shit in the bud. I'm sure shit like that is on most team though.

[MarketingBully]

Everything works better for this team when the threes fall. We shot 50% on the threes. The effort was much better.

We shot 50% from three because they were wide open. We made wide open shots from penetration against Alabama too but for some reason got impatient and shot contested shots. Alabama's defense is definitely better then LSU's however when Peters is able to drive to the basket draw the defense and dish you will get games like today. I can think of two to theee shots we were wide open against Alabama and we drained them which happened off of penetration. I don't know why you guys don't understand it's more then just jacking threes up.

[lamont]

29 points and 17 boards from our bigs. Not too bad for just hitting threes.

We made an effort to go inside more today- loved that

[Dawg61]

I know, I'm not criticizing the way he played. I'm saying Dawg61 doesn't know what he's talking about.

And I was wrong, he took more 3's than normal today. 5 of his 7 shots, made no 2's.

Did you really not understand my post? I was giving him a compliment on his play today. I said he has too much potential to ONLY SETTLE for 3's all game. I wasn't saying he was only settling for 3's TODAY. Kegler is doing exactly what I said he needs to do to be a more effective player for us. I said this shit 2 weeks ago. I also said it's FINE if he shoots 3's as long as he is focusing more on playing inside the 3point line. Smoot you just start shit with me to start shit. It's tired

[MarketingBully]

We made an effort to go inside more today- loved that

Yep and if the light keeps coming on for Herard we will have a legit scoring threat with him as he continues to learn. Holman thrived with Herard playing the center as well.

[JoseBrown]

We made an effort to go inside more today- loved that

And we should continue to see that. Howland and the staff are doing a good job coaching all these young guys. It just takes time. If they continue to improve, they gonna be a good team come sec tourney time...

I like the way he uses the senior too. Today: 13pts 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 to

Who said I didn't. AGAIN, the effort was much better. I think I'll wait a bit before getting totally carried away like you are. We had a really good game today. It's by far the best I've seen them play. The fact still remains that we shot 50% behind the arc. Most teams that do that are going to win. If we beat a decent team while shooting a below normal three % THEN I'll start to get excited.

[JoseBrown]

Ready with a very nice interview after the game

Dang, hate I missed it...fell asleep...

[MarketingBully]

Lol, it's Blakeney. If Reath and Victor lead LSU, we beat the shit out of them.

Reath ended up as their top scorer. Blakeney had 17 but he scored most of that late with their run. Yep, you contain Blakeney you beat LSU.

[MarketingBully]

My gosh. You still don't believe we are talented do you?

[lamont]

we didnt just control Blakeney- we got in their ass on the perimeter and none of them could hit. They we 3/15 at one point in the game from 3- we just didnt let them get into a rhythm at all

[basedog]

Youth takes time. This bunch will be really good one day. When you have as many freshman we have, it's a big learning curve.

Today was a good step up.

[MarketingBully]

Agreed. We are a young but very talented team.
