boys game

[parabrave]

Hey we get the early lead, Perry 3ptr/

[parabrave]

Carter with 2 early fouls. On concruuing plays also, He out Stewart 3pt good. Hey we are 100% 3pts attempts.

[MarketingBully]

Why do we play man to man and it was genius for Howland to not recruit a true point guard. That was a dumb as hell recruiting move. We have one coming in next year but this year is going to be a struggle.

[Spiderman]

I can't hardly watch em anymore. Forgot they were even playing until you posted. And that's sad

[MarketingBully]

Carter with 2 early fouls. On concruuing plays also, He out Stewart 3pt good. Hey we are 100% 3pts attempts.

Yep but our defense is sucking early, we aren’t blocking out giving them tons of second chance points, and our lack of a true point guard is costing us turnovers.

[KOdawg1]

I hate this team

[bigplayslay]

So far nothing new. Leaving 3 pt shooters open forcing us to have to close hard, flying through the air on any pump fake, being sloppy on offense with the ball. 4 turnovers already.

[HoopsDawg]

we are so painful to watch.

[dawgday166]

I can't hardly watch em anymore. Forgot they were even playing until you posted. And that's sad

Ain't it tho. I'm same way. "boys game" is an appropriate title for this thread.

[MarketingBully]

Howland sucks coaching this team.

[parabrave]

Here we go bombs away,

[HoopsDawg]

6 turnovers. 5 against no pressure.

[parabrave]

6 fing turnovers in the 1st 9 mins. It about to get away.

[HoopsDawg]

0 for last 8 with 6 turnovers. just atrocious basketball.

[MarketingBully]

We are rancid. This is not the same team since we played that tournament in Charleston.

[msstate7]

We're the Jameis Winston of college basketball... love to turn the ball over

[99jc]

Howland needs to go.

[parabrave]

What do you know a play down to Ado. And of course Carter tries a airball 3.

[msstate7]

The only thing worse than watching us play is seeing wade on the LSU sideline. Has the fbi and ncaa really become this nutless?

[Cowbell]

maybe Cohen can go get Bobby Knight now...

[bigplayslay]

Tyson is colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra.

[MarketingBully]

Perry is not ready for the NBA is all I have to say.

[HoopsDawg]

Perry is not ready for the NBA is all I have to say.

Looks like he's dropped to 52 and Woodard is ahead of him. Wow.

[SteelCurtain74]

I don't see this team winning more than 3 or 4 conference games. There doesn't seem to be any offensive plan other than Nick driving to the basket and everyone else jacking up 3's.

[dawgday166]

Looks like he's dropped to 52 and Woodard is ahead of him. Wow.

Woodard's the only guy on whole team that plays with effort.

[HoopsDawg]

guys, I'm signing off. I just can't...

[MoreCowbell]

Howland should be arrested if we miss the tourney

[dawgday166]

Howland should be arrested if we miss the tourney

With this team ... he should probably be arrested if he don't make Sweet 16.

[msstate7]

Looks like he's dropped to 52 and Woodard is ahead of him. Wow.

I've been hard on howland this year, but maybe I should be more patient. I think we could be pretty good next year. We need a true point guard imo. Smith and a year of experience for our young players could make a world of difference

[R2Dawg]

Woodard's the only guy on whole team that plays with effort.

Nick plays at times with effort.

Problem to me is we have ton of talent but no identity. We don't know who should shoot or when or what a good shot is. We don't value the ball. We got a few players that pout too much and loaf.

Perry needs to come back; I know it will hurt his ego but he ain't ready. We don't have any player ready for NBA. of course NBA does play lazy in regular season.

[dawgday166]

Won't be if one player comes back.

[MarketingBully]

I don’t know what Howland has done with this team but he’s killed it by not coaching well. And whoever said we were coached well on the defensive side, I beg to differ. We stand around, we don’t block out, we don’t run an offense. We aren’t even setting the double picks which is needed for the shooters to come out and shoot open shots. Our so called PGs are horrid. Weatherspoon has regressed, Tyson has regressed, pretty much everyone has regressed and Howland has completely screwed our bench as well.

We have no identity because we have no true PG to run the offense. Next year’s team will be much much better. Thats why I’m not adverse to giving Howland another year. He needed to recruit a point guard last year. Instead we got another combo guard.

[MoreCowbell]

Man we have a ton of talent on this team. We are underachieving bad with this team so far. Also the style of play is just not good basketball. Seems like it is literally “play man to man and try to get a steal and if u do run the floor and try to score” and then zero adjustments off of that scheme.

[parabrave]

Wow see what happens when you don't go down and chunk up 3s.

[MoreCowbell]

You know next year we will be without Perry, Woodard, and Ado right?

[bigplayslay]

In all seriousness how in the hell do we continue to bite on pump fakes?

[MarketingBully]

Point is this team does not play with effort for 40 minutes. With our length and playing man to man, there should never be any guard who can drive to the basket and make a layup. Our transition defense is ****ing putrid.

[msstate7]

You know next year we will be without Perry, Woodard, and Ado right?

Why would we be without those guys? None are seniors, and none are nba players

[MarketingBully]

You know next year we will be without Perry, Woodard, and Ado right?

Ado is a junior and I highly doubt Woodard goes. Only people we would lose would be Carter. Not sure Perry goes unless he is a sure first rounder.

[Irondawg]

Last year I begged Howland to find a game manager pg grad transfer because we don’t have anybody that really understands floor spacing and can create for teammates

[Irondawg]

In all seriousness how in the hell do we continue to bite on pump fakes?

I don’t know. I went to the game in Jackson and I bet we did it 40 times

[MarketingBully]

Why would we be without those guys? None are seniors, and none are nba players

We need to win these next 3 games at home after this game. Missouri, Georgia, and Arkansas.

[MarketingBully]

The only thing worse than watching us play is seeing wade on the LSU sideline. Has the fbi and ncaa really become this nutless?

To add, one of Alleva?s biggest regrets as LSU?s AD was hiring Will Wade. Called him a dirty coach. Their AD who hired the guy.

[timotheus]

We won't beat the hogs if the poor play continues.

[parabrave]

Wow see what happens when we play smart BB.

[parabrave]

OH well WTF Ravens.

[bigplayslay]

We haven't given up yet.

[parabrave]

Now lets not go full stupid.

[parabrave]

Well we do go full stupid.

[dawgday166]

Well we do go full stupid.

LOL ... I started to post "They will".

[parabrave]

Hopefully we have learned, Ty and Nick, to get that ball underneath the basket. Ado is doing good things underneath. If he can't make it he is drawing the fouls and making the FTs.

[bigplayslay]

Perry, Woodard and Ado are owning the offensive glass right now.

[parabrave]

We are 14-15 at the line. Ado is 6-6.

[dawgday166]

Nice dish Nick. That's the way to do it.

[dawgday166]

Carter needs to follow thru on his shot. He's jerking his hands back after release.

[KOdawg1]

I hate this team
Making me eat this. Good response.

[bigplayslay]

Making me eat this. Good response.

I think it's fair to say this is not the same team that was playing in the first half haha.

[msstate7]

Load gun. Insert in mouth

[KOdawg1]

Penis hands Ado strikes again

[msstate7]

Penis hands Ado strikes again

You giving Perry a pass on the one before?

[bigplayslay]

Penis hands Ado strikes again

That was at his feet. That's on Perry.

[parabrave]

Howland must have pulled his best Vic impression at half. 2 different halves.

[dawgday166]

Howland must have pulled his best Vic impression at half. 2 different halves.

He needs to do that much more often than he does ... if he does.

[parabrave]

Penis hands Ado strikes again

Naw Coach W said thats all on Perry. Can;t throw to Ado at his feet.

[msstate7]

Perry is killing us

[bigplayslay]

This one's gonna hurt isn't it?

[KOdawg1]

You giving Perry a pass on the one before?
No.

[msstate7]

Perry has essentially committed 3 straight TOs

[bigplayslay]

This team is too stressful to watch.

[KOdawg1]

Perry needs to sit.

[msstate7]

Since we went up 9, Perry has 4 TOs

[parabrave]

Thats was a stupid watch this shi8 pass.

[msstate7]

Another TO. This team doesn't want to win

[msstate7]

WTF

[BeardoMSU]

Jump ball? Holy hell...

[msstate7]

Officials aren't gonna let us win

[parabrave]

Ty ball WTF. That was a good play though.

[msstate7]

F this team!
F Perry!
F these officials!
F the world!

[HoopsDawg]

Just a complete meltdown. So many senseless turnovers.

With Carter and Ado, we are basically playing 3 on 5 on the offensive end.

[Boodawg]

Worst officiating ever.

[msstate7]

Worst officiating ever.

Ref just basically said I'm gonna help LSU win

[R2Dawg]

Since we went up 9, Perry has 4 TOs

Well Perry literally throwing this game away. Refs bailed LSU out as well. Jump ball on Ado? Called some touch fouls on us too.

[MoreCowbell]

We dont know how to be successful under Howland. His teams absolutely melt in crunch time. I’ll eat crow if we win this but u know we wont

[parabrave]

That was a good foul by nick.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Howland and these refs are both a joke

[bigplayslay]

It's not over yet.

[MoreCowbell]

that missed alley oop by Perry lost the game for us

[msstate7]

Are you kidding me

[parabrave]

Well crap. Shooting 95% and misses both. Let me guess our last shot, Carter airballs a 3.

[99jc]

17 this team it should have never came down to this. All those damn turnovers it's sickening.

[bigplayslay]

Somehow we will get screwed here.

[msstate7]

Fitting end would be to get carter a 3 pt shot that he will miss

[MoreCowbell]

this play will show Howlands coaching ability. Game comes down to coaching now

[msstate7]

Great play, Perry and howland. I can't watch

[parabrave]

Dam we run a smart play. Now lets get a good def play.

[MoreCowbell]

Damn, good call Howland hope not too much time left

[HoopsDawg]

a historically bad shooting night from LSU and we still can't win!!

[KOdawg1]

Choked that one away. Good bye NCAA tournament

[parabrave]

Well thats a GD play

[vv83]

We are MSU. Wow

[msstate7]

Of course they won. F this shit!

[defiantdog]

**** basketball

[MoreCowbell]

**** that

[R2Dawg]

This team is done.

LSU is the luckiest team I've ever seen tonight.

[bigplayslay]

Really pretty good D by Nick there.

[KOdawg1]

I stand by what I said. This team sucks.

[R2Dawg]

Few more TO and Perry has a triple double.

[MarketingBully]

The clock started late as well.

[99jc]

I'm through until Howland is history and we get rid of some of these dumbass players.

[hopsondawg22]

This team is about to nose dive.

[WildDawg]

Snakebit

[Mjoelner34]

**** basketball

Welcome to me since 1998. I've been a lot happier person since then.

[MarketingBully]

No way that wasn’t more then 4.6 seconds. He was able to fumble the ball, collect it, dribble inside the three point line and shoot.

[State82]

Keep the engines warmed up on the jet John.

[dawgday166]

This team is about to nose dive.

Looking like it.

[CJDAWG85]

Leave that mother****ing bitch down there. **** Howland

[HoopsDawg]

Killer loss. Couldn't put them away. Woodard had a couple of open shots he couldn't knock down. Perry was careless. Carter can't score.

[msstate7]

I can handle losing... We do plenty of losing. I can't stand losing to them though. How God let's that program keep prospering when they stole from those sick kids I'll never understand. F LSU! I wish that program would get hit with a nuclear bomb

[MarketingBully]

This team was up 9 and allowed a shit LSU team to come back like that by just turning the ball over and not getting good shots on the offensive end.

[MarketingBully]

Those .5 of a second they put back on the clock also were what I assume allowed them to do that. How the hell does Ado not tip that damn ball with his 7’5” wingspan? How the hell were they able to get a look like that? Shouldn’t have been able to do that imo with good defense.

[dawgday166]

This team was up 9 and allowed a shit LSU team to come back like that by just turning the ball over and not getting good shots on the offensive end.

This isn't a tough team. Howland not a tough coach anymore. He better get back to it or ... maybe he missing Santa Barbara and wants to go home.

[99jc]

This is why I support the women's team....better coaching!

[Cowbell]

This team needs leach's Baylor post-game rant that was posted on here a couple days ago.

[msstate7]

This isn't a tough team. Howland not a tough coach anymore. He better get back to it or ... maybe he missing Santa Barbara and wants to go home.

I'm as hard on Howland as anyone, but howland didn't make perry have like 4 straight TOs up 9. Good players can't do that sheet.

[timotheus]

The Good 2nd half streak withered down the stretch.

[dawgday166]

I'm as hard on Howland as anyone, but howland didn't make perry have like 4 straight TOs up 9. Good players can't do that sheet.

Agree but still .. you do stuff like that when you ain't a tough team. He needs to chew some ass on their pass and shot selections especially coming down the stretch.

ETA: I'm tired of watching him clap his hands over on sideline and being a cheerleader. I want to see the old Ben Howland on the damn sidelines. And he spews stats these days in his pressers like Moorhead did.

[WildDawg]

I'm as hard on Howland as anyone, but howland didn't make perry have like 4 straight TOs up 9. Good players can't do that sheet.

DISCIPLINE

[parabrave]

They were 2-21 shooting 3s. But of course they only needed one. Jeex

[MarketingBully]

Shouldn’t have come down to the final shot. Play ****ing 40 minutes and we win by 15+. What sucks the most about this is that the SEC sucks this year and this should have been a great shot to finish top 4 in this league. As it stands now we are dead last in this league.

Top 4 like hell ... this team should probably win it if Howland would coach the damn thing. Only way it doesn't win it or come in 2nd if Howland coaches like he should ... is if he's playing with 4 like Norman Dale cause they sitting their ass on the bench ... and running their ass off in practice.

[MarketingBully]

They were 2-21 shooting 3s. But of course they only needed one. Jeex

That wasn’t a 3. He had the time to touch and bobble the ball, gather it in, drive to around 18 feet of the basket and shoot. All in 4.6 seconds when they had to get it in from the other end of the court. Hell we had a 7’5” wingspan guy that should have been able to deflect the damn ball. He should have at least not been able to get it in as well as he did.

[PGHBulldogBG]

LSU isn’t lucky Howland has no idea how to close but I’ve been told Howland is a better coach than Kermit. I would bet my savings Kermit would have at least best New Mexico State and won at least 1 SEC game so far if not more with this talent

[MarketingBully]

Top 4 like hell ... this team should probably win it if Howland would coach the damn thing.

Oh I agree. We should be a Sweet 16 type team. Instead we won’t even make the NIT. Mike Anderson was fired at Arkansas for less. Howland is not who he used to be. He’s a very bad bench coach and above average recruiter. Every year it seems he loses a step in both. Like I said, the only way he can get me back on the train is if he wins the next 3. They are all at home. Lose any of those 3 and we may as well just mail it in. This team could literally finish last in a bad year for the conference. We are not good at all.

I'm not ready to fire him yet but if I'm Cohen ... I'd be having a very frank discussion with him.

[R2Dawg]

True Perry and others too have too many lapses in games where we play with a bball IQ of a 5th grader. Howland can only do so much.

[gtowndawg]

Surely we send Howland packing right? 1 tourney in 5 years? Or do we literally not care about basketball anymore?

[dawgday166]

Howland brought us back from the dead. Hopefully, he will retire on his own soon.

[MarketingBully]

He needs to retire. He’s not a good coach anymore.

[LoneStarDawg]

We need a true point guard....this team has talent, but we lack a true player at the point.

[msstate7]

We need a true point guard....this team has talent, but we lack a true player at the point.

I feel the same. Nick isn't a point imo

[MarketingBully]

We need a true point guard....this team has talent, but we lack a true player at the point.

Yep, instead we recruited a combo guard and a shooting guard. Next year we will have a true point guard.

[dawgday166]

We ain't losing cause we ain't got a point guard as much as we're turning the ball over, playing selfish basketball, taking poor shots, etc.

And we need to space out and post the big guys up down low much more than we do. We need to play inside out basketball with this team ... not outside in.

[MarketingBully]

I feel the same. Nick isn't a point imo

He’s a combo guard. We are missing Peters as much as it pains me to say it. He at least could facilitate the offense.

A good point guard will help limit your turnovers and will get you into your offense. No one gets us into our offense and we are having Perry bring the damn ball down the court. That’s why we turn the ball over and we don’t run an offense.

I'm not saying a point guard would be a good thing. But we ain't losing primarily cause of that.

[Goldendawg]

I'm not saying a point guard would be a good thing. But we ain't losing primarily cause of that.

Team has a lot of holes, no true point guard and no good ball handlers that can handle a press ( how many turnovers after LSU put on the press?). Virtually no help from bench offensively. Very seldom play as a team, don't seem to value assists. RP often thinks he has a guard's ball handling skills. No pure shooter, ala D. Wilson. And last, but not least, little basketball game awareness. Example, up a few pts with about 4 minutes to go and instead of backing the ball out and killing some clock, try an alley oop. Gonna be a long season, I'm afraid.

[OLJWales]

Lol, I didn't know we even played tonight or the result or even who we played as I type.

Lol at those who say we dont have a PG is why we suck.
