Bama game

[parabrave]

If anyone wants a good laugh the sidearm live stats page has us listed as Arky. ARKY leading 21-2-. Shooting 56%

[Lord McBuckethead]

DJ ice cold. Someone needs to slap that dude.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice drive to the basket. And then 3 blocks on one of their possessions. Good hustle.

Seems to me that we've been making more of those than usual tonight.

Don't want Bama getting hot on the 3s though.

[parabrave]

Bana is killing the 3.

[RocketDawg]

Going into halftime down by 5.

Before the last foul was called, Stewart was mugged and it wasn't called. The guy held him around the waist.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How was that foul on Molinar not in the act of shooting.

[Lord McBuckethead]

DJ just needs to drive the basket. Anything outside of 4 feet and he is going to maybe draw iron.

[RocketDawg]

Wick on the rocket? I suppose he meant "fuse", for the backyard type rocket.

[RocketDawg]

How was that foul on Molinar not in the act of shooting.

Yeah, I thought it was too until he just got one shot.

[parabrave]

DJ ice cold. Someone needs to slap that dude.

DJ is playing food. 6-10. Mol is cold 4-12. We are shooting well but Bama is killing the 3. 9-19

[CovertDawg]

Effort/Toughness is good but it is obvious that Alabama runs a more modern offensive scheme. Our midrange jumpers are fine but they should be last resort shots and we should be trying to get more open looks from 3. If one team is getting open looks from 3, and the other is shooting midrange shots then the math tells you the 3 point shooting team will win a lot more times than not.

Weird flex. Stewart is had a good first half, 15 pts (60% shooting)

[Coach34]

We are plying about as well as we can play.

[msstate7]

We are plying about as well as we can play.

I'm happy with the first half. We're playing the hottest team in the country not named Gonzaga or Baylor in their place. We're a young team, and they're a veteran team. This was always gonna be a tall task

[Lord McBuckethead]

Pass the ****ing ball. This pull up jumper with two assholes in your grille is not going to work. Comment aimed at Molinar and DJ.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Weird flex. Stewart is had a good first half, 15 pts (60% shooting)

Maybe I am watching a different game. The last 5 shots have barely even hit rim.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mathews shooting a 3 isn't it either.

[Cooterpoot]

AL is older and more athletic. We'll probably get blown out but we've been ok up til right before half.

[Lord McBuckethead]

7 pts 15 to go.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice slap his ass as he goes by foul right there.

[msstate7]

22 pts with 15 mins to go

[RocketDawg]

Big 3 by D. Smith. Lead down to 3.

[parabrave]

Nice 3 Dev

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice 3.

[msstate7]

Let's uhhh... get Matthews out.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Molinar just tried to dunk that from 12 feet away. Almost did it too.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not a blocking foul.

[msstate7]

Bama is good. They're better than us. They're also lucky as frick tonight

[msstate7]

That was not a shooting foul

[Lord McBuckethead]

Down 9 with 9:27 left. Not looking good for us. Not making up an ground.

[parabrave]

We are playing good but just making alot of youth mistakes

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice trap. Need to keep doing it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we all just stay on our guy and never help out on the drive. We need them to take contested shots.

[Lord McBuckethead]

8 pts, 8:10 left.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. I wish we had ball movement like Bama.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bama is a really well coached team with a specific offense designed to get them looks.

[msstate7]

In the 1st half early, howland put d. Smith, Matthews, and post on the court with us up 6. We were trailing when howland took broke them up. I take up for howland, but that lineup is indefensible.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice possession coming off the timeout. It is almost always a turnover or literally zero shot.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Down 10. Ballgame.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mathews shoots literally the hardest basketball I have ever seen. It is like he is trowing pingpong balls at the gold fish jars.

[parabrave]

69-63. FT much better. 13-15. Problem is Bama has 12 3s

[Lord McBuckethead]

17er just automatically skips off like a rock on concrete. Maybe someone should tell him to put a little more loft on the shot.

[msstate7]

69-63. FT much better. 13-15. Problem is Bama has 12 3s

I think we've played well. The petty bank 3 is a killer. I can handle them hitting 3s, but then getting lucky sucks

[Lord McBuckethead]

We have played well. We do stupid shit here and there, but we have played well against a good team. No doubt about it.

But we just hit a three and then called our next to last TO. No idea why we would do that.

Stewert just sloppy gave that away. Now a foul. See, what I mean.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright 7 pts with 2:12 left. We need clean basketball from here on out.

We need 4 stops right now.

[RocketDawg]

Can't complain about free throws tonight. They've also played much harder than against the Bears. Hard to beat Bama's 3s though - but then Stewart strips one as well.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That is one. We need to hit these FTs and get another stop.

[Lord McBuckethead]

And we gave up a wide open 3. Big time shot by Stewert. With the answer.

[Dawgcap]

That?s so frustrating about this team. This kind of effort against A&M Mississippi things looking a lot better

[Lord McBuckethead]

5 pts, 1:16 left, bamas ball.
We may need to pressure the hell out if the inbounds and then get back.

[RocketDawg]

3 point game.

[msstate7]

That?s so frustrating about this team. This kind of effort against A&M Mississippi things looking a lot better

Frustrating for sure. Inexperienced teams do this junk. I really think we're gonna be special next season

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good pressure. Need to keep that up.

[RocketDawg]

That 3 by Bama was pretty much a killer.

[Dawgcap]

Frustrating for sure. Inexperienced teams do this junk. I really think we're gonna be special next season
Totally agree. Love this fight tonight. Then Petty hits the dagger

[RocketDawg]

Frustrating for sure. Inexperienced teams do this junk. I really think we're gonna be special next season

Looks that way. If we can keep everybody around.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Then we gave up a 100% open 3 pt to their best shooter. What the hell are we doing?

[starkvegasdawg]

Alabama has made more 3's than 2 point shots tonight.

[RocketDawg]

Moral victory I suppose. They fought hard.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How hard is it to know as a player that you absolutely cannot help on that drive?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Moral victory I suppose. They fought hard.

Hell yeah, they played well. Don't let my constant bitching take away from it.

Bama was just better. Better offensive execution, better luck, and maybe coached better.

[msstate7]

Bama is a veteran team, and they're really good. They'll be gutted this offseason

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Meh.... SEC is not very good. Howland?s teams at MSU seem to play to the level of their opponent and our style of play is 30 years ago.

Kenpom has sec 5th best basketball conference. Not great, but certainly better than "not very good"

[Cooterpoot]

We didn't play bad. That game wouldn't be a big deal if we hadn't blown the KY game and lost to A&M and OM. And Clemson. And...
Too many bad losses to be happy.

This is a fair take.

College basketball sucks

We had no business losing to UK, TAMU, Dayton. Olemiss wasn't close. Clemson we easily could have won FT and Molinar out. Bama loss was a good loss but a great chance to get a big win. We can beat anyone if we play well and smart.

[Coach34]

SEC is likely to get 6 in the NCCAA's

[maroonmania]

Meh.... SEC is not very good. Howland?s teams at MSU seem to play to the level of their opponent and our style of play is 30 years ago.

Yep, because of blowing games to KY, TA&M and OM who are all bottom half of the league teams, this game tonight really meant nothing without pulling out a win. We are way past having 'good losses'. At this point we will likely just be playing out the string because we will be now mostly playing the upper half teams in the SEC. We will have very low odds to even get in the NIT.

[ImissCityBagel]

Why do we never adjust...........for 5 years.
