LSU Game Thread

[confucius say]

X starting. Interesting.

[Bulldog1]

Well, I guess we needed a shakeup. Can’t be any worse than what we’ve put on the floor the last 2 games.

[Ari Gold]

Win and advance is the mind set..
Lets ****ing go!!

[msbulldog]

Damn we need to kill these guys, I'm in Louisiana and have been catching hell from guys I work with, since Saturday. I think this is payback from my spectacular remarks about 37-7.

[Bulldog1]

Oh great, we get to listen to Jimmy Dykes all game!***

[Dawg61]

Let the legend of DJX begin (Holman hurt?)

[Bulldog1]

That guy for LSU just walked like crazy

[Bulldog1]

Peters with two early 3s. Stay hot, Lamar

[Bulldog1]

Terrible double team

[Bulldog1]

Another 3 by Lamar

[Bulldog1]

Nice finish Q

[confucius say]

Let the legend of DJX begin (Holman hurt?)

On radio pregame show, they said it was due to X being a better matchup. Smn bout switching on screens against waters. Ask Ari

[Turfdawg67]

Every time we shoot a 3, I’m like nooo... but we’re nailing them tonight (so far anyway)

[Bulldog1]

On radio pregame show, they said it was due to X being a better matchup. Smn bout switching on screens against waters. Ask Ari

He’s a little quicker on D than Aric

[Dawg61]

Peters destroyed that dude's ankles off a pass then stepped back and made the 3 on the return pass while the same dude was so confused still trying to pick up his shattered pride

[RocketDawg]

I think our boys came to play tonight. Doing well so far.

[confucius say]

Take open looks, that?s fine. But let?s not lose the mindset of getting to rim. We are so good in transition. Go go go.

[HoopsDawg]

We are 5-5 from 3 but only up 4. That's a little concerning.

[Dawg61]

Waters is the new Frazier (UGA) vs us. I already am sick of him.

[RocketDawg]

Doing pretty well with rebounds so far.

[Dawg61]

This is when we go brain dead for 8 minutes

[Turfdawg67]

Nice FTs Peters and that was ALL ball... BS

[Bulldog1]

Lamar is feeling it tonight

[Turfdawg67]

My last post or I’ll become like 7... but geez we have zero sets. It’s just shoot if you’re open... and even if you’re not.

[RocketDawg]

My last post or I’ll become like 7... but geez we have zero sets. It’s just shoot if you’re open... and even if you’re not.

Speaking of 7 ... where is he?

[basedog]

Speaking of 7 ... where is he?

Batting practice with Belmont**

[Bulldog1]

Why do we foul at least 1 jump shooter a game?

[Dawg61]

Feazell is an impressive athlete

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

What's up with Feazell getting decent minutes and looking competent all of a sudden?

[Bulldog1]

What's up with Feazell getting decent minutes and looking competent all of a sudden?

My guess is Datcher is awful, so he took his minutes

[confucius say]

What's up with Feazell getting decent minutes and looking competent all of a sudden?

4 games in 4 days.

[Dawg61]

This is our potential. Carter is a sniper.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

My guess is Datcher is awful, so he took his minutes
He looked awful too at the beginning of SEC play. Glad to see he's seemingly figuring it out.

[confucius say]

Run run run off defensive rebounds.

[Bulldog1]

He looked awful too at the beginning of SEC play. Glad to see he's seemingly figuring it out.

Yep

[Liverpooldawg]

This is our potential. Carter is a sniper.

We won hit threes like this often......still playing very well.

[parabrave]

Every time we shoot a 3, I’m like nooo... but we’re nailing them tonight (so far anyway)

One thing that one of the TV guys said this morning that because of LSUs interior def we would have to be hot on 3s otherwise it would be another beatdowm

[Bulldog1]

Howland’s jaw looks better.

[RocketDawg]

Howland's jaw doesn't seem to be swollen any longer. It either went away or he had it tended to.

[RocketDawg]

Andy Kennedy's doing a good job. He's a lot better than other analysts or color guys we've seen.

[HoopsDawg]

Howland actually adjusted our screen defense. We played with a lot of energy and took good shots. Let's see if we can put 2 halves together.

[Ari Gold]

My last post or I’ll become like 7... but geez we have zero sets. It’s just shoot if you’re open... and even if you’re not.

Zero sets???? Open looks are caused by running good sets. Transition baskets comes off missed shots and rebounds on the defensive end.
We just scored 45 points and you think we ran zero sets.
Holy ****ing shit.

I should have know better than get on this thread.

GREAT ****ING HALF.

[Bulldog1]

Howland actually adjusted our screen defense. We played with a lot of energy and took good shots. Let's see if we can put 2 halves together.

Yes- our defense has been improved this half. If Waters hadn’t pulled up 2 timeline 3s, we’d be up by 20

[Bulldog1]

Zero sets???? Open looks are caused by running good sets. Transition baskets comes off missed shots and rebounds on the defensive end.
We just scored 45 points and you think we ran zero sets.
Holy ****ing shit.

I should have know better than get on this thread.

GREAT ****ING HALF.
Yea, interesting we can shoot 65% with ?zero sets?, just one on one.
Our offense has been great, dare I say STUNNING in this first half

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow, just got home from work and we are leading. Anybody got the cliff notes?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Amazing how much different we look than last game. Take care of business dont MState this up this half

[Dawg61]

Wow, just got home from work and we are leading. Anybody got the cliff notes?

We are 9-12 on 3s

[Ari Gold]

Wow, just got home from work and we are leading. Anybody got the cliff notes?

We aren’t running good sets on offense .

[Bulldog1]

Wow, just got home from work and we are leading. Anybody got the cliff notes?

Shakeup in starting lineup: X replaced Aric
9 of 12 from 3s
Lamar with 13 points, 4 assists
Nick with 9 points
Up 45-29

[Liverpooldawg]

Wow, just got home from work and we are leading. Anybody got the cliff notes?

3s are falling.....in a BIG way.

[Red Sox Dawg]

We are 9-12 on 3s

That would do it...

[MarketingBully]

My last post or I?ll become like 7... but geez we have zero sets. It?s just shoot if you?re open... and even if you?re not.

You?re not seeing sets? I take it you aren?t a big basketball fan or just a casual fan. We have a high ball screen where the guard rubs off of it for an open three or he drives it to the basket or uses the screener on a roll to the basket. We also have our normal motion offense where the post players set double screens down low to get a shooter like Q or Carter open. It?s the same offense he used at UCLA. We are actually running great sets against their 1-3-1 as well. Offensively that was one of our more flawless halves.

[MarketingBully]

We aren’t running good sets on offense .

Lol love the sarcastic ness there. You should have included the ****.

[Red Sox Dawg]

We aren’t running good sets on offense .

Can’t believe we aren’t running good sets, must be Howland’s fault.**

[MarketingBully]

3s are falling.....in a BIG way.

It’s not the shots are falling it’s rhe shot selection itself. I think we only had one bad shot go up that half. So yes, we are making 3s but it’s off passing and getting it to the open man.

[Bulldog1]

We’re running more tonight, too. I like it

[MCsMGs]

Lol love the sarcastic ness there. You should have included the ****.

Sometimes **** aren't necessary...

[Ari Gold]

13 assists on 16 makes ..
Yeah these offensive sets are ****ing awful

[parabrave]

Hopefully that waters kid doesn't get hot in the 2nd.

[Red Sox Dawg]

We need to guard Waters. He is good.

[Bulldog1]

Hopefully that waters kid doesn't get hot in the 2nd.

5 points in 90 seconds

[MCsMGs]

Waters is the new Frazier (UGA) vs us. I already am sick of him.

No kidding...him and Brown at Auburn. Both of them give me the "JJ's"!

[Ezsoil]

Stapleton is just stupid on top of being a cancer

[AlmostPositive]

Credit where it's due: AK the cab whisperer is actually a cut above as a college basketball commentator. He doesn't handle his personal life that well but he never gave me any reason to despise him, so I wish him well with the current gig.

[Dawg61]

Waters is killing us

[Bulldog1]

#SCTOP10 right there, Lamar

[RocketDawg]

Credit where it's due: AK the cab whisperer is actually a cut above as a college basketball commentator. He doesn't handle his personal life that well but he never gave me any reason to despise him, so I wish him well with the current gig.

He's doing a great job.

[Turfdawg67]

That could be the coolest drive I’ve seen in a loooong time!

[Dawg61]

Peters is amazing when he isn't sleeping

[RocketDawg]

Good play by Peters, but he likes to be a showman. Gotta like him though.

[Liverpooldawg]

And Peters followed up a great play by doing something stupid. Lead down to 9. I don't get the LSU TO there.

[Dawg61]

We could be up 40 and I'd still feel like we'll blow the lead. We totally relax every time we get up double digits.

[Turfdawg67]

We need to guard Waters. He is good.

I’m sure that’s what LSU fans are saying about Peters. Sometimes, when you are feeling it, you are unguardable!

[HoopsDawg]

Q has been making poor entry passes for 3 years.

[Bulldog1]

And Peters followed up a great play by doing something stupid. Lead down to 9. I don't get the LSU TO there.

We called the TO

[Bulldog1]

Good for CBH

[Liverpooldawg]

We called the TO

THAT makes sense, the announcer said LSU called it.

[Bulldog1]

THAT makes sense, the announcer said LSU called it.

Oh. We only have 2 left

[Liverpooldawg]

NICE screen by Freezell (hope I spelled that right). That was a proper screen. I haven't seen many like that by MSU in a LONG time.

[Liverpooldawg]

Oh. We only have 2 left

Needed it right there. It helped too.

[Bulldog1]

Needed it right there. It helped too.

Yep. I was just saying it had to be us that called us

[Liverpooldawg]

If you listen to the announcers you would think LSU was winning.

[parabrave]

Refs got that one wrong. It hit the rim.

[Bulldog1]

11 minutes left, up 58-47. Let’s hold on here, guys!!!

[Bulldog1]

We better not lose this game

[msstate7]

We in trouble

[Liverpooldawg]

Just terrible from Q. Just awful on both ends. If we lose there is your turning point.

[msstate7]

Our defense has to tighten up

[Bulldog1]

We can not let this slip up. Come on D, get it together!

[Liverpooldawg]

So is Waters the only guy playing with n this game? If I could only hear the SEC network and not see it I would think so.

[confucius say]

Just terrible from Q. Just awful on both ends. If we lose there is your turning point.

Well he just took 3 straight to the rim and scored on all three

[Liverpooldawg]

We better not lose this game

Yeah, lose this and the NIT isn't a sure thing.

[confucius say]

Our defense has to tighten up

Truth. This well tell the tale. They are on pace to score 50+ second half. Had 29 at halftime.

[HoopsDawg]

We in trouble

And he's back....

[Liverpooldawg]

Well he just took 3 straight to the rim and scored on all three

But he was responsible for a 5 point swing for LSU just before that.

[msstate7]

And he's back....

Lead is 4. You disagree with me?

[Liverpooldawg]

More great D from Q, 4 point game.

[HoopsDawg]

Lead is 4. You disagree with me?

No, it was just a different game thread without all of your melting.

[msstate7]

We are in one of those times in every game where a defense switch to zone can slow a team down, but we refuse. Really think howland should rethink this in the offseason.

[msstate7]

No, it was just a different game thread without all of your melting.

My melting is simply pointing out the obvious. Reality is melting I suppose

[Liverpooldawg]

No, it was just a different game thread without all of your melting.

He isn't melting... .this one is slipping away.

[Liverpooldawg]

And Q again......he is killing us. Get him out.

[cheewgumm]

Why did we stop running?

[HoopsDawg]

Give Q a breather.

[MaroonFlounder]

This team makes me vomit

[Liverpooldawg]

We going down.

[msstate7]

+19 to +2...

[msstate7]

Huge shot. Atta boy, peters

[Red Sox Dawg]

Nice little run

[BoomBoom]

We are in one of those times in every game where a defense switch to zone can slow a team down, but we refuse. Really think howland should rethink this in the offseason.

This. When we first went up by 12 or so, we had 3 foul calls in about 10 seconds. A zone keeps the refs from dictating the game. Unless it allows the other team to feed it down low too easily.

[msstate7]

Big spurt there.

[Liverpooldawg]

Peters! Credit where it is due too......great dish next trip from Q.

[HoopsDawg]

Lamar freaking Peters.

Play straight up D one time. No switching, no double teams, just straight up man defense.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Gotta play like Big Boys these last 5 minutes

[Liverpooldawg]

This. When we first went up by 12 or so, we had 3 foul calls in about 10 seconds. A zone keeps the refs from dictating the game. Unless it allows the other team to feed it down low too easily.

Are we smart enough basketball wise to play a zone? Serious question. My gut tells me no.

[MaroonFlounder]

Q has brain farts, but then has a great shot or assist in transition.

[msstate7]

Ado!

[HoopsDawg]

Nice board Ado!

[Turfdawg67]

Lead is 4. You disagree with me?

Well we agree you are a negative fan and were nowhere to be found when we were up 16. Suddenly LSU coming back... and here you are.

[Liverpooldawg]

ADO!!!!

[msstate7]

Lunardi says 3 wins gets us in. Doubtful, but I sure would like to get a chance to get #2 tomorrow

[Liverpooldawg]

Nice hustle job there Q!

[Red Sox Dawg]

Last timeout. Great hustle after miss

[HoopsDawg]

Lunardi says 3 wins gets us in. Doubtful, but I sure would like to get a chance to get #2 tomorrow

Ado and Holman are going to have to put their big boy britches on if we are going to beat UT.

[Liverpooldawg]

We going down.

Turned up a notch after that! Maybe not!

[msstate7]

Well we agree you are a negative fan and were nowhere to be found when we were up 16. Suddenly LSU coming back... and here you are.

Just got home. Dude, I am in every game thread... I give way too much credit to us sometimes, and I am too critical at times... this I only show up when we losing is total BS though. Frick you

[Quaoarsking]

Lunardi says 3 wins gets us in. Doubtful, but I sure would like to get a chance to get #2 tomorrow

I was doubtful too, but Bart Torvik agrees. 2-1 and we're out, 3-1 and we're an 11 seed, 4-0 and we're an 8, apparently. Obviously depends on how many bid-stealers win the other conference tournaments.

[msstate7]

Ado and Holman are going to have to put their big boy britches on if we are going to beat UT.

Really think ado is gassed. Long season on first year big playing his mins

[Turfdawg67]

He isn't melting... .this one is slipping away.

He?s a dick. ?+19 to +2?. Yes we know... we are all watching it. And then ?nice run?.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Need a score here

[Liverpooldawg]

Nick.....dang.

[msstate7]

He?s a dick. ?+19 to +2?. Yes we know... we are all watching it. And then ?nice run?.

We went from +2 to +7, so it was indeed a nice spurt (word I used)

Do you come here to discuss the game or just stalk me?

[Turfdawg67]

Just got home. Dude, I am in every game thread... I give way too much credit to us sometimes, and I am too critical at times... this I only show up when we losing is total BS though. Frick you

Go away, we were doing great w/out you.

[Liverpooldawg]

He?s a dick. ?+19 to +2?. Yes we know... we are all watching it. And then ?nice run?.

Maybe so but they cut it to 2 at the time.

[Turfdawg67]

We went from +2 to +7, so it was indeed a nice spurt (word I used)

Do you come here to discuss the game or just stalk me?

I don’t give a 17 about you. I hate negative State fans and you are one of the worst.

[msstate7]

Go away, we were doing great w/out you.

I did not realize my presence dictates how state does in the real world. Thanks for the high opinion of me, but I assure you, I am not that important

[RocketDawg]

I'd rather be 6 ahead with less than 2 minutes to go than 6 down. We're doing OK. .

[msstate7]

Q is so dumb sometimes

[Red Sox Dawg]

Crap we can’t stand prosperity

[Red Sox Dawg]

We will have to make free throws to win

[Coach34]

Q trying to set a record for turnovers

[BeardoMSU]

This thread has taken an interesting turn...

[Liverpooldawg]

I'm not sure upside Q balences out downside Q.

[bostondawg]

Lazy, lazy pass by Q.

[msstate7]

Why would you even try to dunk that? 25 seconds off the clock would probably be better than 2 points and no clock runoff

[Turfdawg67]

Hold on, Dawgs! Smart plays for 90 sec!

[msstate7]

Huge f up by LSU. Make FTs

[Ari Gold]

It’s time for some PLAYERS to get in Q ass.. face to face in his ass.

[RocketDawg]

You don't see a lane violation call often. Probably cost the 2 points.

[msstate7]

You don't see a lane violation call often. Probably cost the 2 points.

Make up call for the foul on a FT vs vandy? Haha

[Red Sox Dawg]

It’s time for some PLAYERS to get in Q ass.. face to face in his ass.

Is that physically possible?

[MCsMGs]

Well...I’ve gotten in 400+ sit-ups in the second half.

[msstate7]

In the words of The Weeknd, I feel it coming. I think we play tenn tough tomorrow. Might not be good enough, but I think we give em a run

[Turfdawg67]

Free throws baby! Got to make them... and not give them multiple 3-point shots in one possession... ughhh!

[msstate7]

Well...I’ve gotten in 400+ sit-ups in the second half.

Haha... ok, you doing 10 for every layup given up and TO we commit?

[Dawg61]

Watching us try to hold onto a lead is like watching our football team try to jump on a fumble vs La Tech

[justwin]

Who is the announcer rooting for LSU?

[RocketDawg]

That was hard to believe.

[msstate7]

WTF

[BeardoMSU]

We dumb.

[Liverpooldawg]

Trying to give it away.

[parabrave]

dam

[Liverpooldawg]

Who is the announcer rooting for LSU?

Has been all game.

[MCsMGs]

Haha... ok, you doing 10 for every layup given up and TO we commit?

LOL! I have to do ?em to keep from throwing something.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Great play

[msstate7]

Howland schooled the young coach there

[RocketDawg]

Now that was good playing.

[Liverpooldawg]

Whew! Great inbounds!

[BeardoMSU]

hell of an inbounds play.

[msstate7]

Big win

[Dawg61]

Good gawd that last 30 minutes sucked

[Dawgcap]

What an interview by Lamar.

[RocketDawg]

6:00 with Tennessee tomorrow. I'm glad we're getting the early evening game.

[MoreCowbell]

Good interview from Lamar, I really like that kid

[Ari Gold]

Win and advance .
Need 2 more

[RocketDawg]

What an interview by Lamar.


OK ...

[Bulldog1]

Howland schooled the young coach there

Yep. I was a nervous wreck

[LC Dawg]

Great job on the inbound and keeping the ball away. It?s a good win but we still don?t know how to put a game away. I wish it was someone besides Tenn tomorrow but we?ll see how it goes. If we get by Tenn I think we can win the whole thing.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Two teams with their backs against the wall. We took their best shot in the 2nd half. Waters makes big plays.

[Dawgcap]

I felt we would have to weather a fun in the 2nd half after shooting so well in the fist but I sure hated the sloppiness at the end. Love how Lamar brought that up immediately. A wins a win and I hope they grow from the last 5-7 minutes

[msstate7]

Two teams with their backs against the wall. We took their best shot in the 2nd half. Waters makes big plays.

We will probably have to see 3 more years of that guy.

[Ari Gold]

We will probably have to see 3 more years of that guy.

That kid declares after next year.. he is a pro

[Dawg61]

We will probably have to see 3 more years of that guy.

Yup he reminds me of Chris Loftin another 4 year guy.

[msstate7]

That kid declares after next year.. he is a pro

He certainly has game. I guess at pg size is not as big of an issue, but he is tiny

[Liverpooldawg]

That was actually fun! First time I've said that in a while. It was nerve wracking at the end but we won. We won because of he 3s in the first half but I saw some other stuff I liked. We actually moved the ball in the half court. I saw a REAL screen for the first time in like 10 years.

[Ari Gold]

He certainly has game. I guess at pg size is not as big of an issue, but he is tiny

He is about same size as Tyler Ulis was but a better player.
He won’t be there past his jr year

[msstate7]

He is about same size as Tyler Ulis was but a better player.
He won’t be there past his jr year

I hope he goes this year haha

[Turfdawg67]

He certainly has game. I guess at pg size is not as big of an issue, but he is tiny

I had to leave the room for the last 8.2 seconds, couldn't watch... so maybe it's me. Hail State! Keep winning!

[msstate7]

I had to leave the room for the last 8.2 seconds, couldn't watch... so maybe it's me. Hail State! Keep winning!

Lol

Yeah, lets get to Saturday

[BuckyIsAB****]

That was so us it isnt even funny. Why we have to make everything so hard is beyond me.

[parabrave]

With Williams and the admiral about to abuse Holiman and Ado tom night we are going to need LP hot again tom night.

[Dawg61]

He is about same size as Tyler Ulis was but a better player.
He won’t be there past his jr year

NBA is weird with how they draft. Most times especially with guards if they don't go after freshman year they get passed on till they graduate. NBA is obsessed with size and upside.

[tcdog70]

I don?t give a 17 about you. I hate negative State fans and you are one of the worst.

Dude chill out on ole 7. He is just an excitable boy

[maroonmania]

I had to leave the room for the last 8.2 seconds, couldn't watch... so maybe it's me. Hail State! Keep winning!

Yep, I was feeling like it was Groundhog Day. I felt sure with 8.2 seconds left we would throw it in, get fouled, and either make one free throw and LSU would hit a 3 to win at the buzzer or we would make two free throws and LSU would hit the 3 for OT. Seen that movie before.

[MarketingBully]

Yep, I was feeling like it was Groundhog Day. I felt sure with 8.2 seconds left we would throw it in, get fouled, and either make one free throw and LSU would hit a 3 to win at the buzzer or we would make two free throws and LSU would hit the 3 for OT. Seen that movie before.

Instead we ran a flawless offense against pressure. We be learning.

[MarketingBully]

Perry is going to make us so much better because when Holman disappears for stretches as he does we can just put his ass on the bench and play Perry instead. That is going to make us exponentially better. When some of these kids struggle and we can’t take them out because we don’t have someone to replace them in the bench, we will next year.

[Bulldog1]

Big game tomorrow against Tenn. We’re going to have to stop Schofield and Williams to have a chance

[Dawg61]

Feazell gave us some decent minutes tonight. We need all our bigs to step it up big time tomorrow.

[msstate7]

Feazell gave us some decent minutes tonight. We need all our bigs to step it up big time tomorrow.

Richard Williams likes feazell

[Coach34]

Very happy with our effort. The mistakes we make drives you nuts.

But we are going to be pretty ****ing good next year. I agree with Dykes- we should be ranked in the preseason next year

[Bulldog1]

we should be ranked in the preseason next year

Yep. Should return most contributors and a top 15 recruiting class. And the jewel of the class is one of our biggest needs

[Liverpooldawg]

NBA is weird with how they draft. Most times especially with guards if they don't go after freshman year they get passed on till they graduate. NBA is obsessed with size and upside.

I can't imagine why they would be obcessed with that.******

[Liverpooldawg]

Richard Williams likes feazell

He saw that screen too. Dick liked them REAL screens

[CJDAWG85]

Lots of money exchanged hands on that dunk by Nick. Glad I was on the right side!

[preachermatt83]

Batting practice with Belmont**

Post of the year nominee. I'm laughing so hard I can't hardly type this.

[preachermatt83]

We aren?t running good sets on offense .

More epicness!! Freaking hilarious!!

[msstate7]

Batting practice with Belmont**

Bout got him ready. Big weekend coming haha

[preachermatt83]

It?s time for some PLAYERS to get in Q ass.. face to face in his ass.

I'm confused?!?

[Coach34]

I'm confused?!?

his turnovers and lack of D

[preachermatt83]

his turnovers and lack of D

Oh I know that, I'm confused at how the other part is physically possible.

[preachermatt83]

Bout got him ready. Big weekend coming haha

Hahahaha!!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Q?s turnovers are on the asinine/ridiculous level. Sometimes it looks like he?s never played basketball before. He almost plays with a complete lack of interest on defense. I like Q but he?s got to step up.

[Dawg61]

I can't imagine why they would be obcessed with that.******

Point is if they don't draft you 1st round after freshman year you're most likely playing all 4 years.
