Ole Miss basketball game

[RocketDawg]

That huge red logo at center court is hard on the eyes, especially along with red uniforms. It should be about a fourth that size.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our offensive execution thus far is brutal

[msstate7]

Peters! I really think he is gonna blow up in sec play

[maroonmania]

Why does Ado CONITNUALLY go out top and post up against the other team's guards. He just picked up a totally useless foul doing that. Terrible play for a post guy.

[msbulldog]

let's go Dawgs! Beat this a$$!:cool:

[maroonmania]

We pick up right where we left off last game. Can't make a shot beyond 5 feet so far.

[msbulldog]

We pick up right where we left off last game. Can't make a shot beyond 5 feet so far.

We'll get there brother.

[msstate7]

Q looks bad so far

[maroonmania]

Took Datcher to actually make a shot. We are just not good on the offensive end.

[cheewgumm]

WE should run at all cost... we can?t shoot at all. We need fast break layups.

[msstate7]

Gotta make that nick

[maroonmania]

WE should run at all cost... we can?t shoot at all. We need fast break layups.

I'm surprised every team doesn't just pack a zone down low on us every game.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Lamar Peters looks like old Lamar. Those layups are gonna start falling and hes gonna get fouled.

Still we cant throw it in the ocean as far as shooting

[msstate7]

Nice, Holman

[maroonmania]

2 fouls on Ado now 22 feet from the basket.

[msstate7]

X is under his skin haha

[maroonmania]

Geez I hate playing this classless school in anything.

[msstate7]

Lol @ Davis

[maroonmania]

We've had to sit Ado now over 2 useless fouls. Our rebounding is going to be weak.

[MCsMGs]

Attacking the rim now...

[Dawgology]

We leave SO many points on the FT line!!

[maroonmania]

Already leaving lots of points at the free throw line.

[maroonmania]

We have at least started hitting a few perimeter shots.

[MCsMGs]

Lamar was the difference against Arky and he has been today so far. Hope he can keep it up.

[BigEasyDawg]

Peters is looking pretty good.

[Mutt the Hoople]

Old fart Rebel fans grumbling-"They need to go back to the old formula....2 black starters at home, 3 on the road, and 4 in the tournament."

[RougeDawg]

Free throws will end up biting us in the ass at some point.

[maroonmania]

2 terrible offensive trips.

[BigEasyDawg]

Datcher is giving us some good minutes defensively as well!

[msstate7]

Do not like nick shooting 3s

[RougeDawg]

Peters playing better. Nice to see.

[Goldendawg]

Wright getting a lot of minutes 1st half.

[maroonmania]

Are FTs really that difficult?

[Saltydog]

back to haunt us.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Burnett owning Lil spoon first half....

[maroonmania]

Pathetic end to the half

[BrunswickDawg]

Reading this thread you would have no idea that we have led most of the first half and take a 6 point lead into the half. Hell, we are 5 of 9 from 3. I don?t think we have hit 5 threes in a game this year.

[maroonmania]

Reading this thread you would have no idea that we have led most of the first half and take a 6 point lead into the half. Hell, we are 5 of 9 from 3. I don?t think we have hit 5 threes in a game this year.

OM is not good though. This may be our best chance at an SEC road win and we let them right back in the game.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

%43 from the FT line in 1st half...

[maroonmania]

%43 from the FT line in 1st half...

And I don't think Ado even took one. Pitiful, just with better FT shooting we would have a 10 point lead.

[Bully13]

Our womenz shooting better at the charity stripe than our menz.

[RougeDawg]

OM shooting 29%. That will improve. We have to pick it up.

[RougeDawg]

And Ado will have to sit with a stupid foul.

[maroonmania]

Our womenz shooting better at the charity stripe than our menz.

vast majority of women's teams probably do. thats not saying much.

[msstate7]

Our womenz shooting better at the charity stripe than our menz.

THAt is not surprising. Prob the case as most schools

[msstate7]

Dammit

[msstate7]

Ado dumb fouls really hurting us

[RougeDawg]

Being lazy with the ball always happens to us at some point in the game. Have to clean it up and weather the storm.

[maroonmania]

Ado dumb fouls really hurting us

All 3 fouls have been dumb. Both first half fouls were out beyond the 3 point line.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

It looks like our 2nd half strategy will be Q driving in against 5 defenders

[maroonmania]

I'm getting really tired of seeing OM teams that play against us with more intensity than we can muster.

[msstate7]

Make a FT

[maroonmania]

We will lose this one due to FTs.

[Dawgology]

Can we get a FT coach???? Jesus Christ!!!

[msstate7]

X is an f?n idiot

[msstate7]

We will lose this one due to FTs.

I like our chances. We will shoot them better down the stretch

[maroonmania]

We've score 5 points in the last 8 minutes of game time.

[RocketDawg]

Our womenz shooting better at the charity stripe than our menz.

One would think that anybody good enough to play basketball for a major college should shoot freethrows at 90+%. If we did that we might never lose a game. Do they not practice them?

And yes, the women are much better.

[msstate7]

We've score 5 points in the last 8 minutes of game time.

And we winning... we will spurt in a min

[Leeshouldveflanked]

No Darryl Wilson, Shane Power, Timmy Bowers or Winsome Frazier on this team....

[maroonmania]

One would think that anybody good enough to play basketball for a major college should shoot freethrows at 90+%. If we did that we might never lose a game. Do they not practice them?

And yes, the women are much better.

I would gladly take 70%+.

[Saltydog]

NT

[msstate7]

No Darryl Wilson, Shane Power, Timmy Bowers or Winsome Frazier on this team....

Carter will be that guy soon

[maroonmania]

OM scoring a ton on second chances right now.

[msstate7]

Peters, do not let the center steal from you smh

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow 4 fouls in two possessions. Way to give away the foul advantage.

[maroonmania]

OM will be in the 1 and 1 for most of the 2nd half. Lots of dumb and ticky tack fouls on us.

[starkvegasdawg]

Have we committed about 5 fouls in the last two minutes?

[cheewgumm]

We should do everything in our power to run fastbreak and not get stuck in half court offense. We are FAST and ATHLETIC, and play good D.


Come on Howland!!!

[maroonmania]

And unfortunately OM is always good from the FT line.

[BigEasyDawg]

I really LOVE Holman. He plays hard, rebounds, and understands the game. He is a taller more athletic Gavin Ware

[msstate7]

I really LOVE Holman. He plays hard, rebounds, and understands the game. He is a taller more athletic Gavin Ware

Nice game after awful Tuesday

[maroonmania]

Missed FTs from us the only things keeping OM in this one.

[msstate7]

Ado, crap

[maroonmania]

Terrible foul by Ado as he left his feet way before the driver ever got there.

[starkvegasdawg]

That was not a charge and then Ado gets 4.

[Dawgology]

We are shooting FT’s at 46%....ugh...

[Quaoarsking]

Only 31 players in the the entire country (less than 0.1 per team) shoot 90% or better from free throws:
http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/statistics/player/_/stat/free-throws

[RougeDawg]

Is it just me or it this camera angle one of the worst you?ve ever seen. Feel like I?m looking down from the rafters and straining to see.

[ckDOG]

Undisciplined offense. Not the time to be taking quick and contested shots. Eat clock at least.

[Mutt the Hoople]

Is the reason the men don't shoot free throws well because the players are all used to playing AAU ball, with it's slam dunks and from-the-cheap-seats three pointers? I know each team only has a limited amount of time for a coach to coach the players. That means the players have to learn free throws often on their own, shoot them after everybody has gone home.

My guess is that the last thing these guys want to do after a hard practice, is work on their free throws.

[starkvegasdawg]

How is that a foul on Datcher when he?s standing there with his arms up and the other player jumps into him?

[maroonmania]

OM always make shooting FTs look easy.

[Mutt the Hoople]

Another thing I notice is that the men refs call the tickytack fouls, while the refs let the girls play in their game.

[starkvegasdawg]

Quit 17ing shooting 3?s 10 feet behind the line.

[msstate7]

Bad shot, peters

[Mutt the Hoople]

OM always make shooting FTs look easy.
It's because the OM players aren't AAU superstars, and are taught the fundamentals by their high school coaches.

[thf24]

X is a black hole. If he gets the ball, 95% of the time he's going to shoot. They're not always terrible shots, but he never looks for anyone who might have a better one.

[MCsMGs]

Need to attack the rim...can't get into a shooting contest with these guys.

[maroonmania]

Still don't see us winning more than 7-8 SEC games. Play good defense but we are at such a disadvantage in perimeter shooting and FT shooting.

[maroonmania]

Red to attack the rim...can't get into a shooting contest with these guys.

or with anyone

[ckDOG]

Should be running wind sprints for jacking up a 3 and then falling away. Follow up your shot by 2 steps and he has the easy long rebound.

[Maroonthirteen]

Good grief I hate Richard cross

[msstate7]

Nick is not good in this game

[starkvegasdawg]

Pathetic.

[RougeDawg]

Feel like I?m watching the pelicans blow multiple double digit leads in the same game.

[maroonmania]

This is a very likely loss. We can't deal with the 1-3-1

[msstate7]

Might need to pull nick

[RocketDawg]

We've let them gain the momentum. Might lose this one badly.

[maroonmania]

We just can't make shots. Not going to win.

[Saltydog]

game.

[maroonmania]

Yep, looking like another loss to a bad OM team.

[Dawgology]

Why is that 12 or 13 fouls to our 6 in the second half?? Hahahahahah ok...

[maroonmania]

What the hell was that?

[RougeDawg]

Holy shit. What are we doing out there. We aren?t mentally tough.

[RocketDawg]

What a terrible pass ....

[msstate7]

Weatherspoons have been garbage after winning the game Tuesday

[Dawgology]

This team still has a lot of growing up to do

[Bdawg]

Just looked at stats and one guy shooter over 50%. Carter and he’s 2 of 3

[Dawgology]

Ole Miss fans picked up our cell phone flash thing...hahaha is there anything their sports program won’t steal?? Hahah

[maroonmania]

Over and over, can't make shots. Defense only goes so far

[RougeDawg]

Laughable at this point. Why are we jacking up threes?

[msstate7]

Weatherspoons and ado dumb fouls are the only reason this is a game

[RougeDawg]

Why can?t our bigs finish for the 3 point play? No reason Ado shouldn?t slam that one home.

[maroonmania]

I give up, just no hope when nobody can make a shot.

[Maroonthirteen]

Our basketball team has some incredible athletes. Maybe one day they will learn to shoot a basketball.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Even if we win this is an absolute disaster of a 2nd half performance. We should shoot FT's and run till Howland pukes at practice

[msstate7]

Weatherspoons have been garbage all day. Dammit... if they play even close to decent, we win going away

[starkvegasdawg]

Another 3-72 night shooting three pointers.

[maroonmania]

Everything we shoot from 3 is too strong.

[msstate7]

This team still finds a way to lose.

[Skydawg1]

free throw shooting could have been better too.

[West Tn Dawg]

Damn we suck!

[HoopsDawg]

Bottom line, we can't shoot. Worst shooting team I've ever seen at MSU, no exaggeration.

[bluelightstar]

How is this team such a terrible shooting team?

[RougeDawg]

Ado is just weak. Him not holding that rebound and inability to dunk while being fouled is at least a 3 point swing.

[BuckyIsAB****]

If we lose this game I dont wanna hear any ''Pack the hump'' shit. This is exactly the reason we have lost 7 of 8 to OM in BASKETBALL.

[Bdawg]

I really don’t know what else to say. We look awful and choke away a nice lead

[maroonmania]

free throw shooting could have been better too.

thats where the game was lost assuming we go ahead and lose.

[bluelightstar]

If we lose this game I dont wanna hear any ''Pack the hump'' shit. This is exactly the reason we have lost 7 of 8 to OM in BASKETBALL.

Yeah I’m sure these guys are trying to lose. Best not to support them.**

[msstate7]

We deserve to lose. Kennedy owns us

[Leeshouldveflanked]

It's bad when you are out coached by AK 5 games in a row.

[maroonmania]

Losing to bad OM teams is getting to be a habit in all sports

[starkvegasdawg]

If we lose this game I dont wanna hear any ''Pack the hump'' shit. This is exactly the reason we have lost 7 of 8 to OM in BASKETBALL.

Exactly. This is not a good team regardless of record. Can?t shoot for shit and late in this game defense has gone to hell, too.

[Skydawg1]

We deserve to lose. Kennedy owns usSince loafers fired Stansbury, yes. But before that he hardly owned jack shit.

[Bdawg]

They have run that same freakin play with a pick and a drive and we can’t defend it

[Dawgology]

FT shooting cost us this game. It had better be fixed or Howland needs to move on. This should have been addressed game one.

[msstate7]

Q and nick = straight garbage today

[RocketDawg]

Didn't even cover the spread.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Yeah I’m sure these guys are trying to lose. Best not to support them.**

Yeah our FT shooting shows how much effort we are putting forth

[Dawgology]

Losing to bad OM teams is getting to be a habit in all sports

Yep. Shit better stop happening.

[maroonmania]

It's bad when you are out coached by AK 5 games in a row.

This AK team just beat us with way less talent.

[Maroonthirteen]

It is amazing the effort they find when they play State. They can’t beat directional TN or Bum f Egypt but....let MSU come to town. They rally.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow, that was bad execution and coaching. Maybe we can clean that up.

[KOdawg1]

All that talent and can't do shit with it. It's year 3. No more excuses

[Saltydog]

351 D1 teams. Effing pathetic. Yeah, we pulled one off against the Pigs but when we play them over there, they will beat our ass by 30. Our record is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. We are an average basketball team and definitely lower half of this conference. We've got all this "alleged" talent. Loaded with 4 star players but our offense is just atrocious and hard to watch at times.

[starkvegasdawg]

In a game we lose by 6:

9-17 free throws
5-23 three pointers

[BuckyIsAB****]

Yeah I’m sure these guys are trying to lose. Best not to support them.**

We've been garbage ever since Stans left. Its time to call a spade a spade

[Skydawg1]

It is amazing the effort they find when they play State. They can’t beat directional TN or Bum f Egypt but....let MSU come to town. They rally.Imagine how fired up they must get for their real rival.

[Cloak]

Stapleton is a cancer to this team. I do not understand why anyone defends him

[Coursesuper]

And they continue to win without any class shown at all. Absolute trash.

[msstate7]

We will not be a postseason team again for the 38th straight time (it seems). If you cannot finish off a garbage OM team, you sick, period

[maroonmania]

Howland becoming AK's bitch about the way AK was Stans' bitch.

[ckDOG]

We have low IQ players or poor coaching. That last 8 minutes when they went to the 1 3 1 was an abomination of basketball. If we are going to be a stupid basketball team, let?s try to at least outrun the other team.

[PMDawg]

Do we have one fricking team on campus with enough testosterone to man up and beat these bitches at anything? I'm sick of watching us lose to these scumbags when they are the 14th best team in our league.

[Saltydog]

351 D1 teams. Effing pathetic. Yeah, we pulled one off against the Pigs but when we play them over there, they will beat our ass by 30. Our record is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

You should probably take a look at our schedule before making ignorant rageposts like this.

[RocketDawg]

We've been garbage ever since Stans left. Its time to call a spade a spade

You think he'd come back for Cohen? They're both from Kentucky ....

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

There we go, the crap portion of our fanbase got their excuse for not supporting this team the rest of the season.

[Todd4State]

You think he'd come back for Cohen? They're both from Kentucky ....

Cohen is not from Kentucky.

[maroonmania]

In a game we lose by 6:

9-17 free throws
5-23 three pointers

There is just not enough defense in the world to keep making up for those kind of numbers. Really a miracle we pulled out the Ark game with similar percentages. You just aren't normally going to get 40 FTs on the road

[Maroonthirteen]

We aren’t talented. Product of schedule ....

This team has two basketball players that are marginal athletes. Then a bunch of athletes that don’t have a shooters touch. Then one guy is a big body only. I’d kill for even Barry Stewart this year

[Bdawg]

Kennedy going 1-3-1 totally blew our mind. How the hell does that happen in sec basketball just by changing your defense one time. It’s almost like Kennedy sat in a junk room and devised this unstoppable defense that no one has ever seen.**** wow!! I was just blown away at this new, remarkable defense!!! It was just incredible!!! Sooooo innovative!!!! ************************************************** ************************************

[maroonmania]

We aren't bad, just not that good. Now if we somehow started making shots we could be a threat to even good teams but we are 15 games in and it hasn't happened yet so I guess our shooting is what it is. Knew this one was lost when it got back close because AK had been waiting to throw that 1-3-1 back on us that we couldn't handle in the first half.
