We do have a basketball game tonight...

[Liverpooldawg]

judging by the crowd in the building and the interest here not many care. Typical MSU fans.

[AusTexDawg]

Now you know that this close to signing day, all us grown folks are too busy Twitter-stalking a bunch of 18-year olds to be concerned about anything played with a non-oblong ball***

[Liverpooldawg]

6 minutes to tip and I bet there aren't 1500 in here. It's embarrassing

[Cloak]

I just got here, the crowd is pretty bad. Hopefully it picks up....we are playing Missouri though

[preachermatt83]

Getting blown out by ut hurt morale bad. I expect them to fill in soon... but not gonna be a great crowd.

[Bdawg]

Looks awful on tv

Wednesday is a big church day in Mississippi and this isn't a good opponent. Still think attendance should be better

[msstate7]

What's up with Holman?

[Liverpooldawg]

Wednesday is a big church day in Mississippi and this isn't a good opponent. Still think attendance should be better

Every weeknight game used to be on Wednesday. That has effect on the crowd.

[msstate7]

3, 3, and 3 some more

[GTHOM]

Mizzou is God awful

[Liverpooldawg]

Team is flat. The lack of a crowd has to be crushing for them.

[Bdawg]

Bout to walk out the door to church myself

[Big4Dawg]

We have a team? the team didn't show up

[RocketDawg]

Picture quality on SECN is pretty bad. Must be highly compressed.

[LC Dawg]

I hoped that big crowd last week was there to watch the Bulldogs but I guess they just wanted to watch Kentucky.
I just really don't understand that many people having tickets and not attending.

[klong-dog]

What's up with Holman?

Hopefully just got that ass benched after watching the film of last game.

[Liverpooldawg]

We have a team? the team didn't show up

Why should they? Our fans didn't.

[Liverpooldawg]

They just allowed the upper bowl to move down.

[LC Dawg]

Good god Herard is horrible at the line.

[msstate7]

Eli wright! I wanna see him play more

[RocketDawg]

They just allowed the upper bowl to move down.

That must be why it looks like the crowd increased fairly dramatically. Hard to tell with a crappy picture and dark maroon seats, but looks like maybe the lower part is 75% full?

[msstate7]

Good god Herard is horrible at the line.

He actually was shooting well under he put on the mask

[RocketDawg]

Have we made a free throw yet? Haven't been paying close attention, but I've seen us miss at least the last 4.

[RocketDawg]

He actually was shooting well under until he put on the mask

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Is he looking through the plastic getting a distorted view?

[LC Dawg]

He actually was shooting well under he put on the mask
He was getting better but except for one short span he's been pretty bad all year. I do agree the mask seems to bother him.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

He actually was shooting well under he put on the mask

I hope that's the problem. He's been horrible the last 3 games

ETA: his free throw shooting has been horrible. Not his overall game

[Liverpooldawg]

That must be why it looks like the crowd increased fairly dramatically. Hard to tell with a crappy picture and dark maroon seats, but looks like maybe the lower part is 75% full?

About right. Very few stayed in the upper deck.

[Liverpooldawg]

Peters just hopped off. That didn't look good.

[Cloak]

Peters just hopped off. That didn't look good.

He ran into the tunnel but came back holding his knee. I think he's fine

[msstate7]

I'm extremely disappointed with our defensive effort. We're giving up way too many points lately

[Bothrops]

Crowds aren't great at most venues in the SEC. College basketball is not nearly as popular as it was 10-20 years ago. The only way I know to fix that is to win a lot of big games, every sesaon.

Or God forbid, take em off tv

[Liverpooldawg]

They are 66% from 3

[fader2103]

Of course Missouri, the worst team in the league is shooting lights out from behind the arc.

[Cloak]

Yes! I caught a t-shirt...highlight of the game so far

[Liverpooldawg]

He ran into the tunnel but came back holding his knee. I think he's fine

Hasn't been back.

[Cloak]

Hasn't been back.

He went into the tunnel, came back out and sat on the bench for a bit holding his knee, then left

[Liverpooldawg]

If this keeps up there won't be 500 at the next game.

[Liverpooldawg]

He went into the tunnel, came back out and sat on the bench for a bit holding his knee, then left

The bench is behind the backboard from me.

[Dawgface]

I turn to it and see a 3 by Missouri. I'm moving on.......

[Goldendawg]

We play AAU ball. Everyone wants to shot. You better not make a pass, you won't get the ball back. BTW, no one wants to play defense, especially guard against a three, or rebound either.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

7-15 free throw shooting at half

[Irondawg]

We have to quit allowing teams to shoot 60% for a half. It's going to happen some but it's happened to us a good bit this year

[Liverpooldawg]

Down by 4 at the half. The defensive effort has been atrocious . They are 7/12 from three. We are lucky to be as close as we are. If we will play a little D we can win this. Peters never came back out. That is worrying.

[msstate7]

We gave up 88 to Kentucky, 91 to Tennessee, and 43 at half vs Missouri. We are abysmal at defense of late. I'm not pleased

[Cloak]

They will cool down from the 3 point line. Play D and if Peters come back we should be fine

[maroonmania]

That was an embarrassing half of defensive basketball.

[msstate7]

That was an embarrassing half of defensive basketball.

3 halves in a row

[Cloak]

Peters is back. He's running and warming up, good sign

[Goldendawg]

Looks like we think d fense is what keeps in the cows down at the farm of our ag. dept.

[maroonmania]

Good heavens, Mizzou shot 62% in the first half. Probably would have not shot much better had we not even been out there on defense.

[maroonmania]

When your defense AND rebounding is as bad as ours I don't see how you can ever consistently win games.

[Goldendawg]

Yeah, 5 strategically placed folding chairs on the court would have slowed them down more in the first half.

[GTHOM]

I know part of having a young team is being up and down but my God we look like we have taken major steps backwards. We could give 2 shits about defense. People wonder why no one wants to go to games, I blame no one for not wanting to buy a ticket to come see us look like absolute garbage vs the worst team in the SEC.

[RocketDawg]

Weatherspoon is a bright spot tonight. He couldn't make a thing against Tennessee.

[RocketDawg]

We have what I think is our first lead.

[Lance Harbor]

Every weeknight game used to be on Wednesday. That has effect on the crowd.

I was gonna make the church joke, but apparently it's true. Sad, but true.

Basketball > Choir Practice

[Liverpooldawg]

He isn't playing.

[maroonmania]

Weatherspoon is a bright spot tonight. He couldn't make a thing against Tennessee.

Weatherspoon is the difference in the game for us right now. We are up 3 currently but if we didn't have him we would be down double digits.

[maroonmania]

He isn't playing.

I missed the first 12 minutes of the game. What happened to Peters?

[Liverpooldawg]

I was gonna make the church joke, but apparently it's true. Sad, but true.

Basketball > Choir Practice

I meant to say no effect. It didn't used to anyway.

[Liverpooldawg]

I missed the first 12 minutes of the game. What happened to Peters?

Left hopping on one leg, knee or ankle.

[Lance Harbor]

Left hopping on one leg, knee or ankle.

Look liked he banged knees with the Mizzou guard.

[civildawg]

Are they going to fix sec officiating next year. All these fouls on post ups are just unnecessary whistles

[Liverpooldawg]

Peters back

[starkvegasdawg]

8 fouls in 6:37.

[starkvegasdawg]

MO in double bonus less than 8 minutes in.

[RocketDawg]

Peters back

Is he ever! Hitting lights out on the threes.

[maroonmania]

Look liked he banged knees with the Mizzou guard.

Uh, I think he's OK.

[shoeless joe]

He was out so long cuz he picked up 3 cheap fouls early.

If he and Q shoot like this we could get better quickly. Kegler also playing well tonite.

[Big4Dawg]

Peters with 5 3s in a row. Finally missed one

[maroonmania]

We can shoot like crazy at times but we still have so much improvement that needs to be made on the defensive end.

[RocketDawg]

Tom Hart apparently likes(d) and respects(ed) Joe Paterno ....

[maroonmania]

And now we are back to taking bad shots and missing free throws.

[RocketDawg]

Totally different team in the second half. We might be the 60%+ team this half.

[RocketDawg]

Is this our highest scoring game of the year?

[GTHOM]

Amazing how different of a team we can be from game to game, hell even half to half.

[Bothrops]

Beautiful 2nd half action from our guys. Peters had a highlight reel after about 2 mins of play.

[JoseBrown]

Howland- "Steady Ready, 8 assists, 0 turnovers, and he's got a bad cough..." Haha

[Bothrops]

Keglar has his best game yet. Looking good.

[Liverpooldawg]

Just back. We turned it up on both ends and it showed.

[MarketingBully]

We are just a young team. Frustrating for fans to watch at times and exciting others. Great second half. It wouldn't surprise me if we beat Alabama Saturday to avenge the early loss.

[Liverpooldawg]

The disappointing thing last night was the lack of inside offense and defense. Herard let his free through misses hurt his whole game.

[maroonmania]

The disappointing thing last night was the lack of inside offense and defense. Herard let his free through misses hurt his whole game.

Defense was WEAK last night outside of maybe the first 5-6 minutes of the second half. And that was Missouri. We've got to do a better job of getting stops.
