The Puppies vs Guppies Game Thread

[Cloak]

This is the first time that I've actually considered that it's time. You just can't have a game like this happen. Getting embarrased by the, arguably, worst team in the SEC is just not an option

[msstate7]

Tyree 38
Nick 0

Tyree will have to register as a sex offender for what he's done to nick tonight

[Maroonthirteen]

State fans talk about talent. We have some athletes but not one damn clutch shooter on this team. Not
One

[BuckyIsAB****]

We will not lose 4-5 more. But shit, we are better than this team. They just out coached us to the hilt.

We could win out and nobody would give a shit and it would be deserved. This is like the 55th time this team has done this over the past 3 years

[dantheman4248]

leaving any of them out there right now is an embarrassment to this team. sit their asses and play the bench. they're a team so need to treat them like one and bench all of them.

[Dawsonmsu]

How in the world can anyone think Ben Howland is a good coach is beyond me.

[MarketingBully]

We will not lose 4-5 more. But shit, we are better than this team. They just out coached us to the hilt.

Up 12 and he took Ado out with two to sit the rest of the half with 5 minutes left then took Perry out about same time and score. On the road you have to continue to hammer and take the other team out of the game. This is on Howland big time. He?s just not a good coach anymore.

[msstate7]

31-18 we pulled perry. It's 62-23 since. Wrong call, howland

[HoopsDawg]

Damn dude, he just played like ass. Get out of here with that.

Let me go on the record that I don't really think Nick got paid off. But it sure did look like it. He's not as bad as he showed tonight offensively, defensively, or effort wise.

[MarketingBully]

We?ve scored 24 ****ing points this half. What a shit show. And how about using all of your ****ing time outs in 5 minutes in a half.

[Dawgcap]

He has to recruit better but to say that is a shitty team is ridiculous. Mississippi lost 3 games goin cold with big leads. They win them and we are behind them. We are playing 90?s basketball against 2020 coaches

[Commercecomet24]

We could win out and nobody would give a shit and it would be deserved. This is like the 55th time this team has done this over the past 3 years

This. This team is just is hard to watch. It seems like everything they do is chore. The lack of discipline, the unforced turnovers, the mental mistakes, bad shots, lack of team play, etc. We make more passes to nobody than any team I've ever watched. SMH

[R2Dawg]

We will not lose 4-5 more. But shit, we are better than this team. They just out coached us to the hilt.

Look at the schedule, who do we beat? at Ark? USC will kill us probably twice. Olemiss? Bama? That is 4-5 losses right there.

[PMDawg]

Tough to turn a 13 point lead into a 30 point loss, but we can do it!

[Commercecomet24]

31-18 we pulled perry. It's 62-23 since. Wrong call, howland

Total embarrassment tonight.

[OLJWales]

LMAO. Kermit has puppies licking HIS balls. Suck it Howland.

[Saltydog]

AND this shit show is EXACTLY why Howland will never win big at MSU. He's just not a good coach. He's a good recruiter who can't coach for shit. And some of you wonder why the men's team draws less than the women. No reason in the world for this team not to be a top 25 team and make the tourney. None at all, well except that we have a shitty coach. I tried to tell some of you a few weeks ago not to take the Rebs lightly and there they are breaking it off in our ass. Howland needs to go......

[msstate7]

3rd straight game with upside down assists to TO ratio

[Dawsonmsu]

Gross. Kermit Davis could take our roster and win 25 games.

[HoopsDawg]

Let me go on the record that I don't really think Nick got paid off. But it sure did look like it. He's not as bad as he showed tonight offensively, defensively, or effort wise.

Stat line: 0-5, 0-1, 6 turnovers, 0 steals, -36 on the floor, and he's man scored 40. Also, just quit fighting thru screens. Carter wasn't much better. 1-6 with 4 turnovers.

[RougeDawg]

Can only afford one more loss the rest of the way. I do not see it happening. What a damn waste of a season.

The Women are actually fun to watch. They play with effort, intensity and as a team from the opening whistle every game.

[Bdawg]

C ya basketball. Heeelllooooo baseball!!!

[Cowbell]

This. This team is just is hard to watch. It seems like everything they do is chore. The lack of discipline, the unforced turnovers, the mental mistakes, bad shots, lack of team play, etc. We make more passes to nobody than any team I've ever watched. SMH

Deja vu of the fall....

[Commercecomet24]

We're NIT bound.

[Joebob]

Now, can we please stop any talk about making the NCAA tournament? Please?

[MarketingBully]

The guy I?d go after if we did go after a new coach is a guy who already out coached Howland this year. Chris Jans.

[Commercecomet24]

Deja vu of the fall....

That's exactly what it reminds me of. Sickening.

[Cowbell]

So if this carries water like the egg bowl did, Howland is gone**

[msstate7]

Watch tyree will his team to an sec tourney championship, so we get to see them in them in the tourney

[HoopsDawg]

one of the worst coaching and player performances in a big game with a talent advantage that I can ever remember. this was worse than the 40 point loss at Bama with Stansbury.

[Dawsonmsu]

Ben Howland is nothing but a modern day Dale Brown.

[R2Dawg]

This is the first time that I've actually considered that it's time. You just can't have a game like this happen. Getting embarrased by the, arguably, worst team in the SEC is just not an option

I'm with you; I've given Howland a lot of rope. He has recruited well and he pulled us out of Rick Ray debacle so he earned some capital but tonight pushed me that direction. Coaching was obvious tonight.

[RocketDawg]

Gross. Kermit Davis could take our roster and win 25 games.

Think Andy Kennedy might be looking for a job?

[Bdawg]

The Women are actually fun to watch. They play with effort, intensity and as a team from the opening whistle every game.

I don't think I've ever questioned their effort. One reason is they have a coach that demands it!!

[Cowbell]

That's exactly what it reminds me of. Sickening.

And it has been like that for 3 years. We don't play up to our potential ever.

[PMDawg]

Pathetic. That's the nicest I can be

[Commercecomet24]

one of the worst coaching and player performances in a big game with a talent advantage that I can ever remember. this was worse than the 40 point loss at Bama with Stansbury.

Yeah this was beyond ugly. We just flat out quit tonight. Embarrassing.

[dantheman4248]

I disagree with the effort wise. This team shows minimal effort night in and night out. How else do you think we can get away with a 6 man rotation? They sure as hell ain't running for 40 minutes. Not building bench depth and allowing bad habits and lack of effort has doomed this team. Add in no offensive creativity (or off ball movement at all) and you are bound to have someone exploit it. Match it up with someone getting hot on the other team and here you go.

Amazing we fold like this but not against UK. That's the only perplexing one. They didn't just quit that game. They just quit tonight.

[Commercecomet24]

I don't think I've ever questioned their effort. One reason is they have a coach that demands it!!

Amen to that!

[Commercecomet24]

Y'all ever wonder what Vic thinks when he's watching our men play?

[BuckyIsAB****]

He has to recruit better but to say that is a shitty team is ridiculous. Mississippi lost 3 games goin cold with big leads. They win them and we are behind them. We are playing 90?s basketball against 2020 coaches

Yeah they are 4-7 in the SEC. They suck. We just sucked worse tonight. They wont make the NIT and we might as well turn our invite down bc we wont win it. And if we do nobody will care

[tcdog70]

We just got embarrassed by the worst team in the SEC. How is that even possible

Dude -they aren't the worst team.

[LC Dawg]

25 ****ing point loss. That's beyond embarrassing. Tyree is a Bulldog killer and he'll do the same thing in the Hump in a few weeks because we can't stop him. If he didn't pick up 2 early fouls he would have had over 50. And Nick would still have 0.

[msstate7]

Dude -they aren't the worst team.

Well they aren't the best, and I'm certainly embarrassed

[Cloak]

My bad - other than Vandy.

[Bdawg]

Y'all ever wonder what Vic thinks when he's watching our men play?

What a bunch of **ssies!!!

[tcdog70]

Sy outplayed perry too

Bull shit

[dawgday166]

Y'all ever wonder what Vic thinks when he's watching our men play?

All the time.

[Dawsonmsu]

Please bring Stansbury back immediately.

[Commercecomet24]

What a bunch of **ssies!!!

Yep I concur.

[Joebob]

I'm with you; I've given Howland a lot of rope. He has recruited well and he pulled us out of Rick Ray debacle so he earned some capital but tonight pushed me that direction. Coaching was obvious tonight.

Rick Ray has also won the same number of tourney games as Howland, in less years.

[MarketingBully]

Amazing we fold like this but not against UK. That's the only perplexing one. They didn't just quit that game. They just quit tonight.

Not landing a true point guard in last years class killed us in recruiting. We took a flyer on a combo guard in Molinar (who Howland has played minimal minutes) and a shooting guard in Devin Butts (who I guess we are redshirting). We recruited a guy who could have given us great minutes at both the 3 and 4 in King (who once again we aren?t playing and I guess he will redshirt) and then we took a guy in Post who could play the 4 and 5 at 7?1? (who I guess is also redshirting). Howland ****ed up our recruiting class last year, didn?t develop any depth at all, and is going with a 7 but really 6 man rotation. We have a bad ass point guard coming in next year but it might be one year too late as I don?t think he?s going to have anyone to pass to when Perry and possibly others leave. Who the hell knows.

[dawgday166]

My bad - other than Vandy.

We had a 10 point home win against Vandy and that was something to get excited about.

[BuckyIsAB****]

The good thing is nobody was really emotionally invested in this team. At least I wasnt.

I do think tonight is a huge red flag for Howland but the womens team and baseball probably keeps the majority of the real heat off of him

[MarketingBully]

Right now he?s just collecting a $2 million+ check. He?s not a good coach anymore and he?s roster management where he?s basically redshirting 80% of our freshman class really tells you all you need to know. This team is a lot more talented then 15-9. It?s a pathetic coaching job and really most to all of the blame goes to him.

[R2Dawg]

Rick Ray has also won the same number of tourney games as Howland, in less years.

I'm as down on Howland as anyone but if you are trying to push Ray up to Howland, try something else. Did Rick Ray bring in any talent? Did he play any post season games? Howland got us out of the pit but this is as far as he is capable. Need someone else to take the next step.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I wish we would?ve hired someone like Frank Martin. He might not be a great recruiter but he steps out on the court every night with a talent disadvantage and manages to win a lot of games

[tcdog70]

Well they aren't the best, and I'm certainly embarrassed

Dude -you get out of the bed embarrassed, The 96 team shit the bed a couple of times before going o the final 4. On a road game in the SEC anyone can get embarrassed. We had a bad stretch and their best player got in a zone. Shit-we won the first half. i'm mad because Ben-used up all his timeouts--I'm mad because Ben took Perry and ADO out in the first half and let Ole Miss make a charge. I'm mad because Ben refuses to play a zone. Ben should have let Molinar play instead of Nick. Nick was just off--but he has played great for about 7 games in a row. Cheer up-Dude we will beat Arkansas.

[tcdog70]

I wish we would?ve hired someone like Frank Martin. He might not be a great recruiter but he steps out on the court every night with a talent disadvantage and manages to win a lot of games

is that the same Frank Martin-Ole Miss just bitch slapped last week--asking for a friend

[OLJWales]

losing a hard fought close game is one thing, to get run out of the arena by ole miss is disgraceful. No pride or love of the colors you wear.

On the bright side, we'll have way more 4 and 5 star players than anyone else in the NIT. Did anyone catch a glimpse of their baseball field and was it flooded? consolation prize or something?

[OLJWales]

Think Andy Kennedy might be looking for a job?

Hey now!
