Game Day

[BeardoMSU]

Nice.

[ZedFedder]

I’m quietly excited about this team.

[BayouDawg]

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Youtube TV free trial. Then cancel once game over. Can do it unlimited times

[Leeshouldveflanked]

0-6 from the FT line and Ado has 3 fouls... the more things change the more they remain the same

[Cooterpoot]

This team is young and not very good right now. You guys can have Howland. I don't think he's worth a shit.

Neither team can score. 19 total points and the first half is half over. That said, looks like our team is playing aggressively.

[99jc]

There is no 17ing talent on this team they suck....end of story!

[msu15]

I’m quietly excited about this team.

How?

[PGHBulldogBG]

I like the aggression, but I?m afraid the talent disadvantage/youth will hurt us this year. Going to need to rely on defense

[Cooterpoot]

Ben Howland should be shown the damn door, but Covid is going to prevent that.

[msstate7]

Come on ado, stop fouling

[Cooterpoot]

Mansions could be built with all these bricks. Damn this is hard to watch.

[maroonmania]

We don't seem to have anyone on this team that can hit the broadside of a barn. Afraid we are going to miss Tyson Carter even more than we miss either of Perry or Woodard.

[ZedFedder]

Free throws. Like the effort tho.

[maroonmania]

Yea! We finally made a charity shot!

Yes I'm getting the feed and streaming it to my TV.

They look talented, but both teams are playing sloppy.

Download the app on your phone and stream to your tv. I had the app on my Apple TV but deleted it earlier, so I don't know if it will work there.

[99jc]

Cant watch this kind of shit...be back when the women start playing.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Anyone know what Molinars discipline issue is about? I thought it was COVID related but announcers said out a couple games for discipline

[maroonmania]

Seriously, is it that hard to find a few players that at least look like they've shot a basketball before?

[ShotgunDawg]

Prior to this football season, I could've said the same about our WR core.

"How can Memphis have 4 WRs better than ours?"

[MCsMGs]

Really missing Molinar and his ability to get to the rim...

[Steakonastick]

Anyone know what Molinars discipline issue is about? I thought it was COVID related but announcers said out a couple games for discipline

It?s COVID. He tested positive last weekend.

[maroonmania]

If I wasn't an MSU fan it would be almost humorous how bad we are shooting from both the field and the free throw line.

[ZedFedder]

We should be ahead. This is historically bad at the FT line.

[Irondawg]

Like most of Howlands other teams we just aren’t good at offensive fundamentals but this team has less natural talent than his last few teams.

He also really tinkers with his players shots - he talks about it all the time in press conferences but I’ve yet to see a guy really improve his shooting under his coaching

[maroonmania]

Will we crack 40?

[BayouDawg]

This could be our worst team since the ray years

[PGHBulldogBG]

I?m genuinely curious because I don?t think it?s happened in the last 15 years but when have we last overachieved our preseason expectations in basketball? We have done this in football and baseball a good number of times, but I can?t recall it happening in basketball since the 90s wirh Williams? Maybe 2004 regular season?

[msstate7]

We really need Molinar back soon

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I dont know if this team will win a SEC game...UPig scored 142 points today... we wouldnt score 142 points against air.

[BayouDawg]

It looks like this team has been social distancing from practicing

[Irondawg]

We are a really really really bad passing team and that stuff usually doesn’t fix itself quickly.

But we make up for it by no one moving without the ball.

[KOdawg1]

This is hard to watch

[ScoobaDawg]

just dunk the damn ball

[BayouDawg]

Is it just me or is adu basically the exact same as he was as a freshman?

[msugolf]

Our men's basketball program is completely dead ...the worst program in the conference

Worst program in the conference? Are you an idiot? Pull up some stats/records to support this claim.

[RLM38654]

State lost this game on Free Throw line 8-28. Wow

[NCMSTFAN]

Yes we don't look good and I'm beginning to get tired of Howland also... but we opened up against Clemson without Molinar with a young team so its hard to expect alot. But Howland I'm done taking up for Howland. I haven't seen any improvement since he has been at MSU

[msugolf]

As far as support and attention from the athletic department and alums. This administration decided a few years ago that men's basketball just wasn't going to be a priority going forward.

[Irondawg]

I’m worried that FT effort isn’t a fluke. None of those guys have smooth shooting motions that make you think they hit 65-70% on a normal day.

[Tripp McNeely]

No true ball handlers (outside of Molinar). Deivon will be one in time, but he looks like a very tentative freshman. DJ is being asked to do too much. He's a jump shooter and defender. He can't run the show. No handles. Ado has not improved a bit in 4 years. Matthews, Tolu, and Javian Davis will help this year and only get better. All 3 were pretty impressive. Jalen Johnson is just running around out there. He's a nonfactor

Holding off judgment for a season projection until we can see how Molinar runs the show though. If he can be a serviceable PG and knock down some shots (supposedly he's improved his shooting dramatically) we'll be decent. It's hard to be even mediocre if you don't have a PG who can get the offense going.

We do have more freshmen and sophomores than ANY team I the country through. So, the future is bright...I guess?

Well I'll give you that. We are a crappy MBK fanbase. On the court though, we are far from the worst. We've been solid top half last 3 years

[NCMSTFAN]

Tripp McNeely when we were signing all of those long forwards and bigs I brought up ball handling and PG play, we don't have enough guys that can handle the ball. In years past we had Q, Nick, Peter's and Carter who could all handle it... now we are down to 2 guys. You win with guard play in College and we lack depth there. We should have at least picked up a JUCO PG for depth

[msugolf]

This is Howland's swan song. His no-plan, anemic offense has plagued him everywhere he's gone. 1998 Big East basketball just isn't going to cut it these days.

[Irondawg]

I just don’t see offensive talent - in years past you could see guys who were capable of being scoring options early in their career. Way too many of our guys for that athletic slasher role with no true shooting or scoring ability.

Maybe we should just full court press 100% of the time.

Hopefully it’s just one game and there were a bunch of nerves involved but I’m concerned at this point.

[msstate7]

UCLA led the pac12 in scoring his last year

[Irondawg]

Honestly I think Howland watches too much NBA and thinks if we just recruit enough athletes we?ll score by just being more athletic.

He seems to value that in recruiting more than guys who can shoot, dribble or pass better, but are not as dynamic. For instance he would have never recruited that Clemson guard who was the one guy hitting outside shots with a sweet shooting motion. He would have never passed Howlands eye test.

He thinks he can take plus athletes and teach them how to shoot and score and that’s not been working out so well for us.

[Cooterpoot]

Well I'll give you that. We are a crappy MBK fanbase. On the court though, we are far from the worst. We've been solid top half last 3 years

Should've been better with three NBA guys.

[NCMSTFAN]

We play again tomorrow. Hopefully we see some improvements

[NCMSTFAN]

Should've been better with three NBA guys.

Exactly, we have 3 guys who were drafted to the NBA the last 2 years even though they were 2nd rounders... they were all 1 of only 60 players selected per their respective year. So we had 3 NBA draftees playing and didn't really win

[msstate7]

Should've been better with three NBA guys.

All 3 on nba rosters 2021?

[msstate7]

We play again tomorrow. Hopefully we see some improvements

Hopefully we do. I wanna see 5-7 games before I judge them

[NCMSTFAN]

All 3 on nba rosters 2021?

Q signed another 2 way contract and he played in the bubble last year in true NBA games.. They like him alot. Perry is with the Nets and they are calling him the 2nd round sleeper. Woodard is with the Kings, the like him as a true 3 and D guy so our guys are in good position to contribute on NBA teams. Im still not sure why we weren't better with those 3 playing

We were a 5-seed with those 3.

[Cooterpoot]

Samford scored 174 tonight. I don't care if they played the school for the blind, that's better than 40 something vs Clemson.

I don?t think we would break 100 playing air.

[NCMSTFAN]

Thats my point, we should have been better with 3 NBA draftees on our team. Howland hasn't done much with the talent we have had.
