[Rayburn8]

Aric Holman playing very well so far, has a three, played some steller defense. Has 3 boards including one offensive board and pulled off a sick up and under earlier.

Making good shot selection. Passed up a contested three drove and made the extra pass to an open Peters instead of forcing the contested lay-up. So many things he wasn?t doing just two weeks ago.

[HoopsDawg]

modest crowd. And modest interest from elitedawgs it seems.

Bad weather looming probably hurt attendance some

Hump is basically empty

[chef dixon]

Good to see Lamar hit a composed 3

[msstate7]

Peters and Holman hit first 3. We need both of these guys to get going... we're a different team when they play well

[Lord McBuckethead]

Thank you. Maybe Ms. Peters reads this. We want him to be a badass. Just pick up the ball and go to work.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Holman. Lets be tough on defense.

[Dawg61]

Q is one of the laziest passers we've ever had.

[msbulldog]

Holman came to play today.

[HoopsDawg]

Good to see Peters knock down a couple of 3's but man he has made 2 terrible passes.

[Dawg61]

Peters just tried to force a pass through five defenders and then commits a foul on the other end. He has made two 3's though.

[HoopsDawg]

Q is one of the laziest passers we've ever had.

He's good for 3 turnovers in the first half in every single game.

[MarketingBully]

I’ve dug on Holman since the start of the SEC but if he plays like he does today we have a chance to go far in the post season. Lamar still a bit loose with the ball but like his effort and glad he is hitting his threes. Love Holman’s play so far today.

[chef dixon]

So many turnovers.

[MarketingBully]

So many turnovers.

Too many to be able to extend this lead out.

[MarketingBully]

Lamar looking like he just doesn’t want to be there.

[HoopsDawg]

Value the damn basketball!!

[chef dixon]

We have no clue how to attack their defense

[Dawg61]

Imagine being able to drive past anyone you want ever and also not being able to score inside the 3-point line at all ever..

[MarketingBully]

We need Holman back in.

[MarketingBully]

We have no clue how to attack their defense

Because Peters is horrible.

[MarketingBully]

Man we need a true pass first point guard. Carter is doing the best he can but he’s not it and neither is Peters. Hell I don’t understand why we aren’t just getting into their passing lanes and creating turnovers and getting out on the break. A&M is horrible and they have no point guards either.

[vv83]

Did anyone hear what Lunardi said about us moving up in seeding? ESPN3 audio isn’t working

We just aren't a very good basketball team without Nick.

[Cloak]

It would be hard for us to drop any. As far as moving up in seeding, we have a good chance. If we beat Tenn, Kentucky, LSU, or now Auburn we probably move up a line or two

[HoopsDawg]

Did anyone hear what Lunardi said about us moving up in seeding? ESPN3 audio isn’t working

we are pretty locked in as a 6 or 7 seed at worst, but could move up with big wins in the SEC tourney. I would rather be a 6 than a 5.

[MarketingBully]

We just aren't a very good basketball team without Nick.

Holman is playing lights out but Peters is still being Peters (for the most part). If we’d quit turning the ball over, we’d blow A&M out.

[chef dixon]

We just aren't a very good basketball team without Nick.

The results aren't that much different either way

[Rayburn8]

Y’all are aware how to attack a zone right? They are doing what your supposed to do pretty well?

Making quick passes around the perimeter, what do you want them to do? Drive against a zone?

[MarketingBully]

If Holman played like this the whole SEC season we’d have two more SEC wins at least.

[MarketingBully]

Y’all are aware how to attack a zone right? They are doing what your supposed to do pretty well?

Making quick passes around the perimeter, what do you want them to do? Drive against a zone?

It’s not how we are attacking the zone it’s the lazy passes that are getting picked off that is frustrating.

[Dawg61]

Robert Woodard is one of my most favorite freshman we've had in a long time

[Dawg61]

The blue plate eating contest needs to go.

[MarketingBully]

I love Holman’s game today. Man he came to play. I’m very proud of him.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Starting to play up tempo now..

[chef dixon]

Y’all are aware how to attack a zone right? They are doing what your supposed to do pretty well?

Making quick passes around the perimeter, what do you want them to do? Drive against a zone?

Their zone was extending out deep on the perimeter. Maybe if Peters would just blow by that joke of a walk on looking white dude PG and open up some lanes for our bigs under the basket.

[Rayburn8]

It?s not how we are attacking the zone it?s the lazy passes that are getting picked off that is frustrating.

Are they lazy? We only have 6 turnovers, that is about average for a half. And a 1 for sure, maybe 2 were in transition. The 1 when Peters threw a deep pass to Q and just under cut it a bit. Especially against a zone.

We have 36 points and the half isn?t over. I?m confused how anyone can complain about the offense.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn good play by Holman on that dish.

[Rayburn8]

Their zone was extending out deep on the perimeter. Maybe if Peters would just blow by that joke of a walk on looking white dude PG and open up some lanes for our bigs under the basket.

Driving against a zone defense is clearly a great offensive strategy***

Pass the ball around, keep taking the open threes, only drive if they just completely and totally over extend, but better to usually not.

Peters has played well and players are making good passes. We have 37 points, complain about defense if you must complain while watching basketball.

[HoopsDawg]

Carter 4-5 from 3.

It was mentioned during a 4 minute period where we didn't score. They have since changed their D we have torn them apart.

[msstate7]

Carter 4-5 from 3.

He's gonna be hell next season... inside Perry/ outside carter. Gotta find a PG though

[Rayburn8]

Damn good play by Holman on that dish.

He is doing everything better today. Passing on iffy shots, playing great defense, rebounding well, shooting well and overall giving better effort.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Why the timeout there. Save that crap for every time they start a run in the 2nd half.

[HoopsDawg]

can't complain about 46 points. Peters with 4 turnovers but other than that, not bad.

[HoopsDawg]

Why the timeout there. Save that crap for every time they start a run in the 2nd half.

that was the use it or lose it timeout wasn't it?

[MarketingBully]

that was the use it or lose it timeout wasn't it?

Yep, that was a good use of the timeout. If we can stop turning the ball over, we will win by 20+.

[Dawg61]

Carter started out the Tennessee game by making two 3's as well and then we just forgot about him the rest of the game. Not tonight though. Tyson might average close to 20 pts a game next year. He's a terrific scorer.

[BiscuitEater]

Carter 4-5 from 3.

'If' A&M stays in that zone, State will destroy them from 3.

[HoopsDawg]

I wish he could put on 15 pounds, but I've been saying that for 3 years.

[Dawg61]

I wish he could put on 15 pounds, but I've been saying that for 3 years.

If he was about an inch taller and 15 lbs heavier he'd be an exact Ray Allen clone. I think highly of Tyson Carter.

[msstate7]

I wish he could put on 15 pounds, but I've been saying that for 3 years.

Send him to dabo this offseason

[msstate7]

Watching South Carolina game... Silva just got pulled on his senior day. It's been a long time since I liked an opposing sec player as much as Silva. We'd be a top 10 team if we had that kid. Great career

[MarketingBully]

Perry’s ass needs to be on the bench.

[MarketingBully]

I’d rather have Ado and Holman on the inside today. Perry is giving zero effort out there on both ends.

[Dawg61]

Perry has had back to back poor games and he's been pouting some too. Freshman wall appears to have been hit.

[MarketingBully]

When a player is disengaged, he shouldn’t be out on the court.

[HoopsDawg]

yep, body language hasn't been great today.

[Dawg61]

Send him to dabo this offseason

Shit get him on the DK Metcalf plan

[Dawg61]

What's the deal with Datcher, Feazell and Tsish? Only Feazell ever sees minutes and it's only ever one a game. I'd rather see Datcher or the Tsish dude for a minute or two than see Perry pout right now.

[msstate7]

Shit get him on the DK Metcalf plan

He'd look like schofield next year haha

[MarketingBully]

They have a walk-on playing PG. we need to turn their ass over every time now.

[Renardo Sidney]

Lamar has played hard despite turnovers

[MarketingBully]

Lamar has played hard despite turnovers

He’s having to play harder because of his dumbass play. We need him to value the ball in the worst way. He’s still trying to make the spectacular play every time instead of just making the play.

[HoopsDawg]

Lamar has played hard despite turnovers

Yep, I would take this Lamar for the rest of the year. Good matchup for him today though.

[HoopsDawg]

He’s having to play harder because of his dumbass play. We need him to value the ball in the worst way. He’s still trying to make the spectacular play every time instead of just making the play.

6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

[Dawg61]

Peters having a nice game but man he can not score at all from inside the 3 line. It's astonishing his lack of scoring ability outside of shooting 3's. He can drive past anyone on the planet and then do absolutely nothing with it afterwards. It's like he's developed some sort of "yips" in basketball from missing too many layups or getting blocked too many times.

[MarketingBully]

6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

5 turnovers.

[Dawg61]

Q is an NBA shooter and scorer. Every time he gets the ball on offense he is always timing his release. He fakes or steps to get his timing right and releases perfectly. To be an NBA player you need to be elite in at least one aspect. Q's "timing" as a shooter is absolutely elite.

[MarketingBully]

The walkon just drove for an easy layup.

[msbulldog]

Great pass by Perry.

[hopsondawg22]

That was a text book circus shot by Perry.

[msbulldog]

Shit get him on the DK Metcalf plan

Fast straight line but can't do that damn shuttle!

[MarketingBully]

That was a text book circus shot by Perry.

Yep, A&M has hit several of those this game it’s about time we hit one.

[Dawg61]

Have I mentioned I like Robert Woodard a lot yet

[BeardoMSU]

Hopefully this is the Lamar we get from here on out...gonna need it.

[Jacksondevildog]

We will need Lamar and Holman getting something going if we are to make ANY NCAA noise. (obvious, I know).

[msstate7]

Holman: 12 pts. 7 reb
Peters: 21 pts 7 assists

We are a good basketball team when these 2 play well. I really like seeing these 2 have a good game to end regular season. If they play well, we could ruin a team's season in the 2nd round of tourney

[msbulldog]

1 more point for Holman to get his 1000, Peters just got his!

[hopsondawg22]

Holman: 12 pts. 7 reb
Peters: 21 pts 7 assists

Why frame like that, you should try a little positivity for a change; if they play well, we could make a nice little run in the tourney. Cheers.

Exactly. Everyone has been saying this for 6 weeks. Good to see these guys playing a 2 man game.

[BiscuitEater]

4 Min to go .. MSU is 15 of 30 from 3. That will beat a lot of teams.

[MoreCowbell]

Perry has higher ceiling but Woodard is best true freshman we have had since I can remember. Really high basketball IQ and great motor. He is going to be a great one for us.

[MarketingBully]

Holman with 16 and 9. What a game and I’m very proud of him today with his effort.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I will tell you what, Holman scoring his 1000 pt just put a smile on my face. Well done today young man.

[msstate7]

Why frame like that, you should try a little positivity for a change; if they play well, we could make a nice little run in the tourney. Cheers.

We will most likely be a 3-seed. A 2Nd round matchup will most likely be vs a 3-seed. I said if Holman/peters play well, we could ruin someone's season, the 3-seed. How is that not a positive statement?

[BiscuitEater]

THIS team looks like they are having a good time. Holman leaves to a stand O and 1001 career points.

[MarketingBully]

What a shitty way to end that game. Why did we put in the walkons with so much time left? And then we let their walkon get a career high 7 points. I’m glad we won but I didn’t like how it ended.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Great team win. Good game Peters. Good game Holmann. Good game woodard and Ado. Perry just wasn't in it today. Need some intensity out of his minutes.

[msbulldog]

7 that's positive, but not rational.

[Dawg61]

Announcer said this was Peters last game. Anyone else catch that?

[MarketingBully]

Great team win. Good game Peters. Good game Holmann. Good game woodard and Ado. Perry just wasn't in it today. Need some intensity out of his minutes.

We need that Holman from here on out and we need Lamar to value the ball but play similar to today and we can do something in the postseason.

Wgaf, we gave the senior walk on a few minutes on the court and still maxed out the point differential for the NET

[msbulldog]

He got 10.

[msbulldog]

Announcer said this was Peters last game. Anyone else catch that?

61, what does the announcer know, he'd have to transfer or go play oversees because he ain't getting drafted.

[Dawg61]

61, what does the announcer know, he'd have to transfer or go play oversees because he ain't getting drafted.

Most likely just a mistake by the announcer but he definitely said "in Peters last game in the Hump he scores 21 points, 8 assists, 6 rebs." Just an odd thing to say since he's still just a junior.

[msbulldog]

Yep probably a mistake, because Peter's scored 1000.

[msstate7]

So who we playing 1st game in sec tourney? Which of the top 4 we matched up with?

[Dawg61]

So who we playing 1st game in sec tourney? Which of the top 4 we matched up with?

I think it's going to be aTm/Vandy winner with us lined up to play Tennessee 2nd game. Kentucky will move up to the #2 seed and LSU wins SEC outright tonight with a win vs Vandy. Congrats. I'm still rooting for Vandy to upset them though.

[msbulldog]

Nothing posed on the SEC site yet, probably after the last game.

No Wade and no Smart and I think they may be holding out other players as well. Could be very interesting that a team that at least shares the SEC will go one and done in the postseason.

Especially since the line was 14/. Glad I don't bet or I would have been pissed.

[MarketingBully]

Especially since the line was 14/. Glad I don't bet or I would have been pissed.

We only had a 17 point lead at that point as well so they went on a 6-0 run to end the game.

If LSU loses, would we be matched up with them? That's the one I want of Kentucky/LSU/tenn... esp with no smart

[Dawg61]

If LSU loses, would we be matched up with them? That's the one I want of Kentucky/LSU/tenn... esp with no smart

No it looks like all seeds 1-4 are already locked even if LSU loses.

1-LSU
2-UK
3-UT
4-Aub

We'll face UT on Friday if we win Thursday. I'm like 90% sure here.

Well crap. We did play them well in the tourney last year though so who knows

[Dawg61]

Yea no really sunny side up for the SECT for us this year really. If by some miracle we beat UT we'll be playing UK next. Ouch.
