Clemson game thread

[msstate7]

Huge game for us. Really need this one

[Pit Bull]

Wonder if Howland and crew watched the Cincy game prior to this one? Talk about rivals....Cincy and Xavier are 2.5 miles apart. i couldn't imagine being that close to Ole Miss. Afraid there would be some fatalities over the years.

[Lord McBuckethead]

There are 34 people sitting on the sideline.

[LC Dawg]

If we can't beat them without their leading scorer (19 pts/gm) we aren't close to where we need to be.

[msstate7]

Is there a winner/winner loser/loser game after these 2 games?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Clemson has a scorer out today, we look to be taking clean shots early. Got to protect the ball better. We have like 4 turnovers through 5 minutes.

[LC Dawg]

Is there a winner/winner loser/loser game after these 2 games?

It's not on our schedule so I would guess no.

[msstate7]

That's awful, perry

[HoopsDawg]

Interesting, Feazell in as the 8th player ahead of Woodard.

[LC Dawg]

If we ever get good at shooting 3s we may be unstoppable because we love to shoot them.

[HoopsDawg]

What are you doing Q. Bad turnovers and bad defense today.

[KOdawg1]

Stupid turnovers man

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

We play like a pick up game team. The person bringing up the court might try to drive, otherwise everyone just shoots 3s. Occasionally give it to big guy posting up and let him take a shot because you feel bad that everyone else is just shooting 3s.

It's working today though.

[HoopsDawg]

Now, here comes Woodard. I don't like playing 9 guys.

[HoopsDawg]

Now, here comes Woodard. I don't like playing 9 guys.

Woodard doesn't have to be the sub for Q. We could play Carter, Nick and Lamar.

[HoopsDawg]

Do these announcers know a game is going on?

[KOdawg1]

I keep cringing when we jack up all these three's but we're making them so keep doing it I guess.

[KOdawg1]

Holman thinks he's Steph curry now

[msstate7]

I keep cringing when we jack up all these three's but we're making them so keep doing it I guess.

With howland letting us continue to shoot em, I have to believe we shoot them much better in practice. Perhaps what we're seeing is just us getting closer to our true 3-pt shooting %.

[HoopsDawg]

Too many 2nd chances for clemson!

[msstate7]

Too many 2nd chances for clemson!

Holman and Perry down low

[Saltydog]

every time down floor the last few trips. Eventually, the law of averages starts to take over.

[KOdawg1]

Okay, let's start driving guys. Stop settling

[HoopsDawg]

1 bad shot each from Peters, Holman, Carter, and Perry. Otherwise the shot selection has been fine.

[Bdawg]

Do we ever run a play?

[HoopsDawg]

Do we ever run a play?

We have 2 plays. One is an alley oop to Nick. The other is just a couple of screens where either Peters or Carter run baseline and come around for a corner 3.

Other than that, it's pick and roll.

[Kingbarkus]

Do we ever run a play?

Problem is when you have no legit inside scoring threat, plays are nonexistent.


Worst tv broadcast I?ve ever seen.

[HoopsDawg]

That's 6 offensive rebounds for Clemson.

[HoopsDawg]

That can't be the proper double from Woodard.

[Bdawg]

We have 2 plays. One is an alley oop to Nick. The other is just a couple of screens where either Peters or Carter run baseline and come around for a corner 3.

Other than that, it's pick and roll.

Magnificent. I believe I could come up with that.

[parabrave]

Well when your hot keep on shooting them.

[Kingbarkus]

Does Ado know where the weight room is?

[msstate7]

I think this team suffers from ADHD.

[HoopsDawg]

we are burning the nets and Peters has been playing at a high level since Vegas.

[Bdawg]

I will say we are hot from the arc

[KOdawg1]

Yes, more of that Q

[KOdawg1]

Holman is getting abused inside

[Bdawg]

We have not gotten one foul call on a drive to the basket. Are we going up that weak or what?

[HoopsDawg]

8 offensive rebounds for Clemson. That's the only negative from this half. 12 of their 28 points have been 2nd chance points.

[VandelayIndustries]

Holy shite by reading this thread I thought we were down 15

[LC Dawg]

Playing well but we are getting murdered on the defensive glass. Are we too worried about running and not focusing on rebounding?

[MarketingBully]

We have not gotten one foul call on a drive to the basket. Are we going up that weak or what?

These refs are horrible. Q gets mugged on one end and the Clemson guy runs him over on the other end and no calls. That’s a 4 point swing right there.

[HoopsDawg]

We are 10-18 from 3. Clemson is 1-13 and we are only up 12. That's a tad concerning, but it's mainly b/c of our defensive rebounding.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yeah we are goung up weak. I miss L Roberts going up stromg and getting 4 and ones each game.

[Saltydog]

NT

[MarketingBully]

Playing well but we are getting murdered on the offensive glass. Are we too worried about running and not focusing on rebounding?

This is all on the refs dude. When the refs are obviously leaning one way it makes it look that way.

[msstate7]

Big basket, feazell

[HoopsDawg]

Damn, only up 8 at the half after lighting it up from 3.

[mparkerfd20]

This team has a little d. We don't play efense

[MarketingBully]

Bad way to end the half but a lot of that had to do with the Refs getting them back in that game. Hopefully they will even out their calls but in that 15-4 run a hell of a lot of calls went Clemson’s way.

[mparkerfd20]

Up 19 to up 8 is horrible.

[LC Dawg]

8 point lead at the half is good but not really when it was a 19 point lead a few minutes earlier. I hope we come out strong early in the 2nd and extend the lead some instead of them closing further.

[Pit Bull]

Damn, only up 8 at the half after lighting it up from 3.

This is gonna be a nailbiter at the end!! Clemson starting to warm it up.

[MarketingBully]

This team has a little d. We don't play efense

Hard to rebound when they are allowed to climb your back and we can’t do the same on the offensive side.

[Saltydog]

line some.

[HoopsDawg]

I'm not sure what Howland is doing with his rotations. Peters only played 13 minutes that half and he's not in foul trouble. He better play 18 in the 2nd half.

[MarketingBully]

Up 19 to up 8 is horrible.

38-19 and from that point every possible call went Clemson’s way including back to back plays where they mugged Q on a drive and Clemson’s big guy ran Q over on the defensive end. If I was Coach Howland I’d of eaten the refs asses. They were biased as hell in that 15-4 run.

[Kingbarkus]

With their leading scorer injured, no excuses for not winning today.

[MarketingBully]

With their leading scorer injured, no excuses for not winning today.

We’re up 8 at halftime and we are a second half team. I don’t think this is a time to panic.

[HoopsDawg]

Clemson with 12 2nd chance points, MSU 0. Every one has to find a man and block out. The officiating has been fine.

[msstate7]

We're gonna win this. Chill

[MarketingBully]

Clemson with 12 2nd chance points, MSU 0. Every one has to find a man and block out. The officiating has been fine.

Bullshit it was. Officiating was slanted towards Clemson down the stretch which led to the 15-4 run.

[MarketingBully]

We're gonna win this. Chill

Exactly. Their bench is ass. We have been wearing them down. They have one guy Sims carrying them. That’s it. Just need to shut his ass down.

[HoopsDawg]

Bullshit it was. Officiating was slanted towards Clemson down the stretch which led to the 15-4 run.

Bro, all you do in every game thread is complain about the officials. Every single time. You're the boy who cried wolf.

[HoopsDawg]

Nick, Holman, Q and Ado all played more first half minutes than Peters. Puzzling!

[HoopsDawg]

Sims is destroying Holman.

[HoopsDawg]

Oh my, Holman just helped off of Sims, what was he doing?

[HoopsDawg]

And here comes Perry for Holman just like that.

[MCsMGs]

How about those hands of Ado?

[msstate7]

Peters may be hot

[Bdawg]

Damn peters!!!

[Bdawg]

How about those hands of Ado?

We've got the 2 softest 6'11" guys ever

[Bdawg]

4 TOs for Holman

[HoopsDawg]

bring Perry back in after this TV timeout.

[msstate7]

Maybe Holman should sit a while

[LC Dawg]

Peters came out of the locker room after the half. Where is everyone else?

[MarketingBully]

Holman and Ado are playing like ass right now. Might be time to see Datcher and Perry.

[msstate7]

Wanna see us get the weatherspoons some looks

[LC Dawg]

Maybe Holman should sit a while

Holman started the game on fire. This team is schizophrenic.

[MarketingBully]

Maybe Holman should sit a while


So should Ado. He’s letting his guy get the ball way too close to the basket. He still doesn’t understand how to push their guy out further from the goal.

[HoopsDawg]

Holman and Ado are playing like ass right now. Might be time to see Datcher and Perry.

You serious clark? No to Datcher. But Yes on Perry.

[Kingbarkus]

It’s shameful to see how soft we are.

[MCsMGs]

We've got the 2 softest 6'11" guys ever

Hands?

[msstate7]

Lol... Holman big 3

[HoopsDawg]

Peters misses one shot and coach pulls him. Look out here.

[MaroonFlounder]

Basketball is so frustrating. We are clearly the better team, and if not for being hot from 3 pt, we'd be LOSING

[Bdawg]

Hands?

No sorry. Just soft, period. Bad hands

[msstate7]

I think howland sits on the bench thinking how can I get Clemson back in this game

[mparkerfd20]

Refs are horrible

[Bdawg]

14 killing us

[HoopsDawg]

Peters misses one shot and coach pulls him. Look out here.

6-2 run with Peters on the bench. Get him back in coach.

[msstate7]

I think howland sits on the bench thinking how can I get Clemson back in this game

Hats off, howland, you figured out how to do it

[MaroonFlounder]

I feel a major choke coming down the stretch...

[MarketingBully]

This team is frustrating as hell. Why is Peters out of the game?

[Saltydog]

costs us this game. We're not moving the ball and just wait to jack up another three.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Maybe go zone? Shit man.

[MarketingBully]

Refs are horrible

You don’t say but I’m crying wolf when I say it.

[Apoplectic]

this 17n team - vic would probably have booted most of these players by now

[HoopsDawg]

Maybe go zone? Shit man.

You're pissing into the wind if you think Howland will play zone.

[Lord McBuckethead]

One player killing you on the interior, got to go zone. Where is the Juco transfer giant. Tell him to get in there and foul out stopping #14

[CJDAWG85]

This is absolutely ridiculous. We don’t attack the basket nor have any interior defense.

[HoopsDawg]

One player killing you on the interior, got to go zone. Where is the Juco transfer giant. Tell him to get in there and foul out stopping #14

He can't play.

[Bdawg]

costs us this game. We're not moving the ball and just wait to jack up another three.

Interior definitely the problem. So damn soft. Guy is posting up practically under the basket and then can't get the rebound

[CJDAWG85]

This is why no one wants to go watch this damn team

[msstate7]

I think we're gonna win, but I'm losing confidence this is a good team. We just have way too many lapses

[HoopsDawg]

Perry doing a nice job on #25.

[Bdawg]

Keep shooting Peters, just keep shooting.

[NickoeWatersHedges]

Love to see us shoot the three ball like we are capable of

[MarketingBully]

Peters shouldn’t come out of the game the rest of the way.

[mparkerfd20]

8 of 11 from 3. Holeee shit

[MarketingBully]

I think we're gonna win, but I'm losing confidence this is a good team. We just have way too many lapses

Really dude? You don’t think we can improve on the interior with Freshmen like Perry and Woodard?

[msstate7]

Peters shouldn’t come out of the game the rest of the way.

Rest of the year barring foul trouble

[Bdawg]

This is why no one wants to go watch this damn team

No killer instinct. Get a lead and just go lackadaisical on D. Hopefully Peters stays hot and wins this.
Also, saw that #2 play from Howland, back door alley oop.

[MarketingBully]

We’ve actually been battling through bad calls decently. I like how we have played through them instead of complaining.

[HoopsDawg]

Peters shouldn’t come out of the game the rest of the way.

We are +15 with Peters on the court. +2 during Holman's minutes.

[MaroonFlounder]

How many turnovers in this game

[msstate7]

See when it's time to bury them, we have back-to-back TOs by a junior and senior.

[Bdawg]

Damn is that not a foul on spoon

[HoopsDawg]

We are +15 with Peters on the court. +2 during Holman's minutes.

carter is -6.

[NickoeWatersHedges]

Passed the vegas Team total with 9 minutes left, great offensive performance tonight. Gotta finish.

[HoopsDawg]

Did Nick not get fouled?

[Bdawg]

That's a travel. He slid on the floor. Jeez

[LC Dawg]

How the **** is that not a foul?

[msstate7]

Howland has to rip these refs a new one on that no call

[MarketingBully]

You still don’t think the refs are sucking? They mugged the shit out of Nick Weatherspoon and no call.

[HoopsDawg]

Howland has to rip these refs a new one on that no call

That was a dangerous foul, horrible no call.

[MarketingBully]

That’s for you HoopsDawg. This reffing has been horrendously one sided.

[HoopsDawg]

You still don’t think the refs are sucking? They mugged the shit out of Nick Weatherspoon and no call.

listen man, when you complain about the officials it's completely meaningless b/c you do it multiple times in every single game thread all season.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Kind of got all ball.

[Kingbarkus]

That dude undercut Nick. Could have been a bad injury.

Stans wins at Arkansas.

[MarketingBully]

listen man, when you complain about the officials it's completely meaningless b/c you do it multiple times in every single game thread all season.

Actually this is the first time this season I’ve done it.

[msstate7]

Stansbury beat ark

[HoopsDawg]

finally with some good ball movement. nice job!

[Bdawg]

Man did that dude not slip? Foul on spoon?

[MarketingBully]

So no foul called on Perry putting it up and they fouled the shit out of him. 3 fouls the whole second half. Bull shit.

[MarketingBully]

3 fouls called on Clemson the whole second half at the under 4 minute mark....

[Lord McBuckethead]

That dude undercut Nick. Could have been a bad injury.

Stans wins at Arkansas.

Dangerous, yep. Thats why chicks don't play the game?

[MaroonFlounder]

These guys are gonna think they're a bunch of Steph Currys after this game. It will kill us in some games down the road.

[Bdawg]

So no foul called on Perry putting it up and they fouled the shit out of him. 3 fouls the whole second half. Bull shit.

No way they have that many clean blocks down low. We go up so weak though!!

[HoopsDawg]

These guys are gonna think they're a bunch of Steph Currys after this game. It will kill us in some games down the road.

We can't really score inside so that's just who we are. We either have to get points in transition or hope the 3's are falling.

[Big4Dawg]

These guys are gonna think they're a bunch of Steph Currys after this game. It will kill us in some games down the road.

Are you seriously going to complain because we are shooting 62% from 3? What would you like them to do? Stop shooting them?

[MarketingBully]

Go up strong no foul.

[HoopsDawg]

Thank goodness Trapp is 1-8,

[Bdawg]

Anoouncer says "violent collision on one end" but it's a no call!!!

[MarketingBully]

These refs are garbage.

[MarketingBully]

Good win now need a packed Hump next weekend.

[Bdawg]

Good win. Congrats guys. Great shooting. Hit the gym frontcourt!!

[HoopsDawg]

So we set a school record for 3's and Clemson was without their leading scorer, but it's still a good resume building win. I don't think the NET recognizes that Reed didn't play.

[msstate7]

Big win. 8-1 with good cinci team up next

[LC Dawg]

It's a good win. Feels silly to complain about this team because they are winning but you can see that they have the potential to be even better than they are. Hopefully this win and a good crowd propels them to a big win next Saturday.

[HoopsDawg]

Good win now need a packed Hump next weekend.

Yes, Cincy is a very good team. Need 7K at the Hump next Saturday.

[msstate7]

Yes, Cincy is a very good team. Need 7K at the Hump next Saturday.
7k is about as realistic as saying Moorhead needs to sign 5 5-stars in December. I'll be happy with 4500

[Liverpooldawg]

Yes, Cincy is a very good team. Need 7K at the Hump next Saturday.

I'll be there buyt if there are more than 4-5k there I'll be surprised. The students will be gone.

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, we only had 2 fast break points in the entire game. Nick had 6 assists to only 1 turnover and Peters and Q with 28 and 20.

I'm glad Howland didn't play Woodard in the 2nd half. Got to tighten up the rotation. Peters with only 28 minutes, he needs to be playing 34+ per game.

[HoopsDawg]

7k is about as realistic as saying Moorhead needs to sign 5 5-stars in December. I'll be happy with 4500

Pitiful if we don't have at least 6K. This is a huge game.

[msstate7]

Pitiful if we don't have at least 6K. This is a huge game.

If school were in, I think we'd get it. No school though. My wife and I will be there though

[SmokeyDawg]

I think this team plays better on the road because all home games have been an awkward practice to this point. Have to find a way to get butts in the seats. Hopefully things change after the Christmas break. They deserve some appreciation. It's not their fault the Ricks turned the hump to a dump.

[Dawg61]

MSU needs to do a Christmas present for kids promotion for the Cincy game. Bring a present for a kid get a free ticket.

[msstate7]

MSU needs to do a Christmas present for kids promotion for the Cincy game. Bring a kid get a present and a free ticket.

Fify

Kinda playing. Kinda not

[MarketingBully]

MSU needs to do a Christmas present for kids promotion for the Cincy game. Bring a present for a kid get a free ticket.

That’s a good idea. They should do that.

[Pit Bull]

KY is about to fall out of top 25 and #16 KState has been upset twice this week including to unranked Tulsa today. I think we have a good shot to move up. Beat Cincy next Sat. and we really move up.

BTW.....Auburn plays Dayton tonight at 7:30 in Auburn.

[ScoobaDawg]

Damn I don't know why I look at these game threads.. I kept looking for a score but noone posted one and it sure sounded like we lost until someone posted we won...so I assume we just barely won.
Hell no. we won by 11... MSU 82, Clemson 71

Good job Dawgs

[Turfdawg67]

These game threads are for melters and bi-polar fans. I look and laugh after the game now.

"This team sucks donkey balls." - MarketingBully 11/30/18

3-pt shooting the last 3 games:
Dayton 7/22 (.318)
Mcneese 14/31 (.452)
Clemson 19/30 (.633)
Total 40/83 (.482)

Obviously today isn't gonna happen very often, but nice to see us trending the right way

This is why I said a few weeks ago we have some really bad Basketball IQ fans. I can only imagine the posts in this thread.

At one time in the game we had 9 3-pointers, and a total of 29 points. That means only one inside the line, or two foul shots.

[Dental Dawg33]

19 total 3 pointers I believe? Think it’s a school record if I heard right

[MarketingBully]

If our effort isn’t there people will call it out. Our effort was there today and we would have had a bigger win but the refs decided to tilt their calls towards Clemson about 20 minutes of the game. From the time we were up 38-19 in the first half until about 4 minutes left in the game. I had no problem with our effort sans a couple of players. If this team played as a unit for 40 minutes, we could beat anyone.
