MBB vs Wofford game thread

[Dawg61]

7pm on SECN+. Wofford isn't terrible. They are 9-3 and beat the piss outta South Carolina by 20 this year. South Carolina is bad but the game was @ South Carolina so expect a tight game tonight.

[msstate7]

SECN+

[Pit Bull]

Only game I see on SEC Network is Virginia at S.Carolina.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Did you miss the (+)??

[Dawg61]

SECN+

Correct it's on SECN+ not SECN. My fault The Score app is listing it incorrectly. Will edit.

[confucius say]

Wofford is better than "not terrible"

[msstate7]

Tough game so far

[MaroonFlounder]

Wofford gonna 3 us to death

[MaroonFlounder]

Perry needs to play 30+ minutes

[HoopsDawg]

We are playing ok, Wofford is on fire. We need to do a better job on close outs.

[HoopsDawg]

Ado, just did a really bad job on the screen.

[HoopsDawg]

Peters is playing at such a high level.

[RocketDawg]

Perry needs to play 30+ minutes

Yeah, he's really impressive. He's a freshman?

[yjnkdawg]

Anybody who has AT&T Uverse won't be able to watch it. They had the same issue on our last SECN+ broadcast. The service rep told me that they were still working on it and didn't know when it would be resolved, and didn't know if it was an AT&T issue or a third party one. CRAP! How about a score?

[RocketDawg]

In case you're not watching or can't watch, it's 31-30 Wofford with 5 minutes left in the first half.

Thanks, Rocket.

Is it because you can't sign up for what was WatchESPN using their credentials? Or do they provide streaming that's not working? I use Roku as my streamer, and Dish is my ticket to be able to watch it.

[RocketDawg]

Thanks, Rocket.


You bet. We're now down 34-30. I'll try to post the score periodically.

[msstate7]

I'm getting worried about this game

[chef dixon]

This is a bad game. High risk low reward.

On the screen, it just says that our game is not a part of my TV package (which it is) I use ROKU too.

[maroonmania]

I get so totally sick of this garbage. And that is having these opposing teams coming into the Hump shooting lights out with us all over them. Do teams EVER come in and have an off night shooting against us at the Hump. Its ridiculous.

[LC Dawg]

Nice to see Nick playing well. He has struggled a little recently.

[maroonmania]

This is a bad game. High risk low reward.

Wofford shooting 3 pointers like they are free throws even when guarded.

[RocketDawg]

This is a bad game. High risk low reward.

Well, we all wanted a more competitive schedule than last year to keep our RPI up (or whatever it's called now). Wofford is a pretty good team ... quite good actually for a small private school.

[LC Dawg]

They won't keep up this percentage from 3. We'll pull away when they cool off.

[RocketDawg]

On the screen, it just says that our game is not a part of my TV package (which it is) I use ROKU too.

You'd think it would be an easy fix for AT&T to do, but maybe they're not trying.

Score is 39-37 with just under 3 minutes left.

[RocketDawg]

Is it my imagination, or did Q bulk up during the off season? He looks bigger to me.

[maroonmania]

We will not beat this bunch unless they cool off big time in the 2nd half. They are hitting incredibly bad 3 point shots.

[msstate7]

We ain't winning this game

[Dawg61]

This is a bad game. High risk low reward.

If we win it'll help us in March but it's not looking good rn.

[RocketDawg]

Halftime score 50-41.

Wofford is shooting about 95% .... Hitting 3s left and right.

[maroonmania]

I don't how you beat someone shooting like this. Hitting everything whether open or not.

[parabrave]

Son of a gun. they are shooting the lights out. 9-12 3pts 9-10 FF 15-26 overall FGs. We are 6-14 9-12 and 13-26 overall

[msstate7]

Wofford: 16/26 fg, 9/12 3s

[HoopsDawg]

they threw up some BS that went in, but we also have to stop helping off of shooters and we better start hedging the screens.

[MaroonFlounder]

This Wofford team reminds me of Penn St in the NIT final 4 last year. Almost everything going in.

[yjnkdawg]

Son of a gun. they are shooting the lights out. 9-12 3pts 9-10 FF 15-26 overall FGs. We are 6-14 9-12 and 13-26 overall


I can't see how they can keep that up, but anything is possible.

[BB30]

Just basketball. Run into it a couple of times a year and we will have our nights as well. You make your money on the rest of the games where team’s play evens out.

This one obviously isn’t over but if we do lose you just shrug your shoulders and forget it just ran into a hot shooting team on the wrong night.

[RocketDawg]

Wofford started the second half with a 3. Then we answered with one of our own.

[RocketDawg]

Peters another 3. 6 point game.

[parabrave]

LP getting hot. When he can shoot after getting set he can kill it.

[yjnkdawg]

You'd think it would be an easy fix for AT&T to do, but maybe they're not trying.

Score is 39-37 with just under 3 minutes left.


Yeah, you would think that if subscribers from other tv providers can view the game.that it must be an AT&T issue, but I'm not an AT&T IT expert so what do I know. Thanks for the score again.

[RocketDawg]

Somebody on SPS who has AT&T just posted that he called them, and they wanted to know what channel number SEC + is. That doesn't sound positive for a quick solution.

[RocketDawg]

Momentum is shifting, Game tied at 53, and we're on a 12-0 run.

[MaroonFlounder]

Ado is a complete liability. He brings nothing to this team

[LC Dawg]

Abdul Ado is proof that soccer is a worthless sport. He's so bad with his hands I don't see how he feeds himself. It's not his fault it's the fault of the people who push that stupid ass sport on children.

I'm not crazy about soccer either, but isn't Ado from Africa? Soccer is probably a pretty big deal there, as it is in the rest of the world. And it's cheap ... all you need is a pair of shorts, a shirt, and a soccer ball. No pads, 15 different uniforms, etc.

[MaroonFlounder]

This feels like a LOSS.

[RocketDawg]

They just hit another 3. They are 11 of 14 on 3s. 79%.

[maroonmania]

They just hit another 3. They are 11 of 14 on 3s. 79%.

They finally took one so off balanced that they missed.

[LC Dawg]

Auburn got beat at NC State. It's not a horrible loss but it adds to the early season struggles of the SEC. We need the top conference teams to do well in OOC.

[MaroonFlounder]

Perry would never leave the floor if I were coach.

[maroonmania]

IF we lose this it will be a VERY rough 24 hours for we MSU fans. The women's Oregon loss, the disappointing early signing day and a loss to Wofford by the men. That would be quite depressing.

[parabrave]

well 59-56 with 1300 go.

[msstate7]

We ain't winning this game

I may end up being right, but this team is different than in recent years. We're a good team

[msstate7]

I love perry and Woodard. Both will be really good by February

[RocketDawg]

We're up 63-58 with just under 12 minutes to go. They have two starters with 4 fouls each.

[msstate7]

Peters is sick

[NCDawg]

IF we lose this it will be a VERY rough 24 hours for we MSU fans. The women's Oregon loss, the disappointing early signing day and a loss to Wofford by the men. That would be quite depressing.

Wouldn't have been so disappointing if Pickering and Moore would have signed. Moore has been committed for almost 2 years for goodness sake.

[parabrave]

State 72-64, Boys going nuts on the boards.

[RocketDawg]

Wofford is finally cooling off a bit. We're up by 8 with 9 minutes to go.

[RocketDawg]

Up by 11. 75-64.

[msstate7]

Cincinnati up 26-19 over UCLA

[RocketDawg]

Heard the UConn women are losing to a 3-6 team at the half.

[yjnkdawg]

Wouldn't have been so disappointing if Pickering and Moore would have signed. Moore has been committed for almost 2 years for goodness sake.


They just want to have fun with the recruiting process, and Pickering is still working hard on recruiting for us.

[maroonmania]

Wouldn't have been so disappointing if Pickering and Moore would have signed. Moore has been committed for almost 2 years for goodness sake.

I'm fine with those guys waiting. I think we will end up with both. Its losing the entire CB recruiting class that stinks. Losing one would have been OK, but likely losing all 3 is unheard of.

[RocketDawg]

Peters in crazy hot. Just hit two long 3s.

[maroonmania]

Even when they make a 2 pointer I'm relieved. Just don't want them shooting a 3.

[maroonmania]

Apparently Holman thinks he is already in the NBA with all of the walks.

[RocketDawg]

Moorhead is at the game. Why isn't he out recruiting?? **

[NCDawg]

They just want to have fun with the recruiting process, and Pickering is still working hard on recruiting for us.

Yeah, that's what I hear and it may be true, however, there is still a danger that another college could make them an offer they can't refuse..

[LC Dawg]

I don't want this to turn into a discussion about Moorhead but I think it's cool that he's at the game tonight supporting another Mississippi State team and it's coaches. He looks exhausted.

[parabrave]

Q 12-13 FT. Taking it for the team tonight.

[RocketDawg]

I'm getting some buffering now. Irritatin and hard to keep up with the game. I think it's 85-77 with 2 minutes to go.

[msstate7]

What a 2nd half performance. We are a tourney team this year

[HoopsDawg]

We ain't winning this game

Good call. **

[HoopsDawg]

88-77 Dogs. Very impressive 2nd half by just about everyone.

[msstate7]

Good call. **

We aren't the team I've become accustomed to in past years. We are in the process of becoming a really good team.

[LC Dawg]

This team is good and getting better.

[RocketDawg]

I think we have this one in the bag. Up 9 with just over a minute to go. And just got Nick W. just got fouled, and somewhat injured. May have been a finger to the eye.

[msstate7]

Cinci 43
UCLA 28

[Cloak]

Good comeback win.

[HoopsDawg]

We aren't the team I've become accustomed to in past years. We are in the process of becoming a really good team.

Oh we lose this game last year for sure.

[maroonmania]

I would just hang out and make sure any 3 is thoroughly defended. They aren't going to catch us with 2 point baskets.

[Cloak]

Oh we lose this game last year for sure.

We are a different team this year. Basketball is finally back boys.

[BeardoMSU]

We can't do anything easy, lol.

[maroonmania]

That is just so Lamar there. All you have to do is wait and be fouled and we give away the possession.

[LC Dawg]

I get all excited and we start doing silly stuff at the end. Being a Bulldog fan is never easy.

[maroonmania]

We can't do anything easy, lol.

No, because we do stupid stuff. All we have to do is make our free throws but you can't get free throws throwing the ball away.

[parabrave]

Sounds like a good crowd on the radio. Anyone at the game who can let us know?

[msstate7]

Peters is gonna be all sec this year

[maroonmania]

Sounds like a good crowd on the radio. Anyone at the game who can let us know?

Crowd looks pretty sparse on SEC+

[RocketDawg]

Final 98-87 MSU. Good win.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Did Howland just tell him to shoot there at the end? Gaming the new RPI system?

[BeardoMSU]

Great win...awesome second half adjustments and effort.

[West Tn Dawg]

Nice end..........got that 10 pt margin again. It helps in the "NET"

[HoopsDawg]

oh my Perry with the cover.

[RocketDawg]

Crowd looks pretty sparse on SEC+

Yeah, looks like hardly anybody there. Students are on break.

[parabrave]

Good comeback and great defensive adjustments made at halftime.

[HoopsDawg]

Did Howland just tell him to shoot there at the end? Gaming the new RPI system?

Yes, I believe 11 is the max margin of victory for the NET. But it also covered the spread.

[BeardoMSU]

Q with 18 points only hitting 2 shots, lol. Great leadership from him at the FT line tonight.

[Dawg61]

Good win vs a scrappy team

[BeardoMSU]

Lamar with that cross-over step back J was pretty nasty. Iverson-esque.

[Liverpooldawg]

Good win vs a scrappy team

They are more than scrappy. That's a pretty good basketball team. That's a nice win, and will probabaly look even better at the end of the year.

[RocketDawg]

UConn women still losing to Oklahoma, down 1. It's on FS1 with 5 minutes to go if interesterd.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Yes, I believe 11 is the max margin of victory for the NET. But it also covered the spread.

Well he wanted to max out that margin really bad. He was frantic. Haha

[HoopsDawg]

Well he wanted to max out that margin really bad. He was frantic. Haha

that's pretty funny. i'm glad he was aware. that gives us the same margin of victory that North Carolina had over Wofford.

[MarketingBully]

Another great win and battled back from 12 down in the second half to win by 11. This team is a great team but still has a couple of things to fix to make us elite. Too many unforced TOs but we can fix that as we go along. Great win and good points to work on I’m sure Coach Howland will deal with. If we keep improving and playing like this, I could see a 26-5 (14-4) record. That should be good enough to get us a 3 or 4 seed. Really liking how we are playing. Btw Cincy beat UCLA tonight 93-64.

[Turfdawg67]

Good call. **

The. Worst. MSU fan. Ever. But he loves him some Jimbo & Dan

[mstatefan91]

Hell of a win tonight. Love that we got that last second bucket. I believe it helps with the new NET system for the tournament to get a 10+ point win.

[MetEdDawg]

Yes, I believe 11 is the max margin of victory for the NET. But it also covered the spread.

I think the max margin of victory is 10. And after the game Howland apologized to the Wofford head coach for that last shot. But he also said it was because of the NET score. We are going to see some of that andnits going to change these ending sequences of games a lot.
