MSU NIT game vs Saint Louis

[RocketDawg]

Supposed to be on ESPN at 4:00. Boxing is on instead, and will be on for a while. Are we on some other channel?

[Quaoarsking]

I get that no one really cares about the NIT, but there must be 10x as many Americans who care about our game than who care about watching German vs. Russian boxing...

Lol, indeed.

[RocketDawg]

Maybe 4:00 was just an approximate time. I checked streaming on Roku and it says the game hasn't started yet.

[msstate7]

Lol, indeed.

Or softball

[BeardoMSU]

It's on ESPN+

[msstate7]

I can't get the streak to load on the app either

[BeardoMSU]

Or softball

First thing I did was check ESPNNews as well.

[BeardoMSU]

I can't get the streak to load on the app either

There is are two tabs for our game. One that says "live" and one that says "upcoming". Click the live. Took me a second to figure that out.

[Quaoarsking]

This is a disgrace. John Cohen and his SLU counterpart better raise hell, but do they even know what's going on?

[RocketDawg]

First thing I did was check ESPNNews as well.

Me too. Looks like we've been aced out by foreign boxing and women's softball. Go from ESPN's flagship to their pay service.

[msstate7]

Thanks

OK, finally found it. I just went to "basketball" and there was only one tab there with out game. Had to go further to "NCAA basketball" and it had the two tabs.

[MaroonFlounder]

ESPN sucks. Even through the APP you have to click, back out of it, and click again, several times over. I've missed the first 8 minutes of the game

[msstate7]

Mathews has gotten 2 strong rebounds. I like this kid even though he has a long way to go offensively

[MaroonFlounder]

Ado not playing? Or already in foul trouble?

[RocketDawg]

Once I located the game with Beardo's help, I've had no trouble loading or dropping out. I think the streaming picture might be a little sharper than the one on ESPN via satellite.

The game's on ESPN now. Boxing is over. I guess one of the guys got KO'd because they didn't have time to go through the 5 remaining rounds.

[KOdawg1]

Man, this team could be really good next year if we add the right pieces and bring everyone back.

[msstate7]

What was hat 3 seconds for A 5 seconds call?

[msstate7]

Man, this team could be really good next year if we add the right pieces and bring everyone back.

Stewart, gotta keep him. I expect big jumps from Matthews and d. Smith

[Percho]

We've been using 8 all year

[Lord McBuckethead]

30-22 dawgs with 3 minutes left in the half.

[KOdawg1]

Stewart, gotta keep him. I expect big jumps from Matthews and d. Smith

I hope you're right about Matthews. I just don't see much there. He's athletic and a good defender, but he can't shoot his way out of a wet paper sack, and we have plenty of guys like that at his position.

[msstate7]

I hope you're right about Matthews. I just don't see much there. He's athletic and a good defender, but he can't shoot his way out of a wet paper sack, and we have plenty of guys like that at his position.

He's gonna be a garbage man on offense and a big time defender... that's a valuable player

[KOdawg1]

He's gonna be a garbage man on offense and a big time defender... that's a valuable player

It is if you have shooters around him. Molinar is a pretty good shooter. Fountain is a good shooter. Need to hit the portal for a combo guard that can fill it up from 3

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

This is a disgrace. John Cohen and his SLU counterpart better raise hell, but do they even know what's going on?

Really? Raise hell about an NIT game? Just do what everybody else did and go to the app.

[msstate7]

Did these announcers go to SL? Why are they pulling for them?

[BeardoMSU]

Another 10 second call, lol. Gotta be D1 record...

[Saltydog]

I swear, we are the worst team in the country at breaking the full court press. Just horrible......

[BeardoMSU]

Did these announcers go to SL? Why are they pulling for them?

I almost spit my beer out when they were comparing St Louis to Baltimore...in a positive way, lol.

[Saltydog]

That slam is 100% on Stewart. He just didn't rotate over and let him go unabated to the goal.

[BeardoMSU]

"Ohhhh lotta contact...they're lettin' em play here"....yeah, no shit.

[msstate7]

D. Smith can fly. Gotta find a way to run with him

[Bothrops]

I almost spit my beer out when they were comparing St Louis to Baltimore...in a positive way, lol.

Freaking pathetic

[Saltydog]

Key word is "could". I suspect we will continue to see the same ole shit.

[msstate7]

Stewart is our most talented player, and he's our most inconsistent player. Stewart, they have no one that stop you, man the F up and play!

[BeardoMSU]

Stewart is our most talented player, and he's our most inconsistent player. Stewart, they have no one that stop you, man the F up and play!

He just disappears in games...and he goes through stretches of just the most boneheaded plays...

Hopefully all of that results in him coming back next year, lol.

[msstate7]

Don't inbound with fountain

[RocketDawg]

I almost spit my beer out when they were comparing St Louis to Baltimore...in a positive way, lol.

Well, it probably is a little better than Baltimore. But not much.

[Bulldog1]

Can't inbound the ball against pressure... that is on coaching!

[Bulldog1]

I like D Smith- Pretty good...

[msstate7]

I like D Smith- Pretty good...

If he makes the same jump Molinar and Stewart made freshman to sophomore, we'll be in business

[maroonmania]

We will always be at a disadvantage with Howland's vanilla coaching style. Other teams can press, we can't. Other teams can change defenses, we can't. Other teams can attack a defense that isn't man to man, we can't. We just do what we do and never change and when someone changes something on us we get flustered. I just don't see us ever making an NCAA tourney run under Howland. Too many good coaches in the NCAA tournament that can outflank Howland.

[BeardoMSU]

The lack of foul calls in the post is hilarious.

[msstate7]

Jump ball? Wtf!

[BeardoMSU]

Also, good job announcers learning how to pronounce Ado's ****ing name. Your job isn't hard guys.

[RLM38654]

Abdul Auto. Doesn't this kid do SEC network games?

[maroonmania]

The lack of foul calls in the post is hilarious.

Plenty of calls on us. It certainly doesn't seem to be getting called on both ends.

[BeardoMSU]

Plenty of calls on us. It certainly doesn't seem to be getting called on both ends.

Absolutely.

And that foul on Fountain was definitely WTF.

[msstate7]

We gonna get the call here?

[maroonmania]

Terrible defense on that possession.

[BeardoMSU]

Oh lord....we've gone from slobbering St Louis....to now slobbering the refs, lol. These guys....

[BeardoMSU]

Almost thought they weren't gonna call that goal tend, lol.

[Saltydog]

We may end up winning but if you guys can't see that we're poorly coached, I can't help you.

[BeardoMSU]

Apparently we practice on a court that was built in the 60's and doesn't have a 3pt line, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

I'm sure Panama City is great, but electric? Are these guys on PCP?

[RocketDawg]

I like D Smith- Pretty good...

Yeah, he is. Plays with a lot of enthusiasm.

[maroonmania]

We may end up winning but if you guys can't see that we're poorly coached, I can't help you.

No argument from me. That is why, while we should be improved next year, I'm not expecting anything more than hopefully making the NCAA tourney field.

[RocketDawg]

Oh lord....we've gone from slobbering St Louis....to now slobbering the refs, lol. These guys....

Both of 'em are a little hyper.

[maroonmania]

Big 3 from DJ there.

[BeardoMSU]

Big 3 from DJ there.

Then followed it up with a dumb turnover. Jesus, DJ.

[maroonmania]

My goodness this team can do some terrible things. Hand the ball off to SL for the the easy dunk.

[HoopsDawg]

Big 3 from DJ there.

and then a horrible turnover. 2 bad turnovers by DJ leading to dunks on the other end.

[msstate7]

Big 3 from DJ there.

And then a terrible TO. I love this kid, and he drives me crazy at the same time. I think he comes back, and I think he becomes one of the best players in the sec next season

[parabrave]

I'm sure Panama City is great, but electric? Are these guys on PCP?

I had some friends stationed there back in the 80s. It was a young unmarried troopers heaven/

[BeardoMSU]

Cam with a monster dunk.

[maroonmania]

Just go out and guard and quit jumping by the shooter.

[BeardoMSU]

I had some friends stationed there back in the 80s. It was a young unmarried troopers heaven/

I'm sure it's a great city, lol. These guys are just talking like nut jobs. Electric! These refs could officiate a pro game! Baltimore! Etc. :)

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, wtf.

[maroonmania]

Another HORRIBLE turnover on the inbounds.

[maroonmania]

Lol, wtf.

And we wonder why we have so much trouble winning close games.

[R2Dawg]

DJ is killing us now.

[HoopsDawg]

what are we doing? Value the ball!!!!

[BeardoMSU]

This is both frustrating and hilarious.

[whosyourdawgy]

My Gawd we are awful vs pressure

[Percho]

We would turnover the ball 5 against 2 because we would dribble into one of the 2.

[BeardoMSU]

How many attempts to inbound has this possession been, lol?

[maroonmania]

what are we doing? Value the ball!!!!

Have you watched this team this year?

[msstate7]

My boy, Matthews with a play

[Renardo Sidney]

Great defense by Cam Matthews

[R2Dawg]

My Gawd we are awful vs pressure

DJ plays like Q did with lazy passes and low IQ passes.

[maroonmania]

My boy, Matthews with a play

Yea, but now we unfortunately have to get the ball up the court.

[BeardoMSU]

If we don't turn it over on the inbound, we'll hold it for 28 seconds, jack up a trash 3, miss, and then ado will get the put back, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, it's almost as if they're trolling us at this point.

[BeardoMSU]

Definitely off them...

Never ****ing mind....

[maroonmania]

We are so terribly coached.

[BeardoMSU]

Oh god, lol. Jump ball...we are turrrrible.

[msstate7]

Come on dawgs, sheet

[HoopsDawg]

I"m mad at myself for watching the last 3 minutes of this basketball game. Awful TV, Awful Basketball, 3 booth reviews.

[maroonmania]

ANOTHER TO. Ridiculous.

[BeardoMSU]

We can't inbound. We can't get a shot off. Might as well just start stabbing them. It's the last thing they'd expect.**

[msstate7]

Gotta take Matthews out. They'll foul him

[R2Dawg]

I'm not sure how many more I can watch us play like this. 6TO in 3 min, that is 70+ TO in 40 min if you rate that out to put in perspective how bad we are finishing.

[Hambone]

IF we do win. If the next team doesn’t full court press us the whole game their coach should be fired.

[BeardoMSU]

Gotta take Matthews out. They'll foul him

Good timing, lol.

[maroonmania]

Team folds every time our opponent pressures us.

[msstate7]

Gotta take Matthews out. They'll foul him

Never mind, what a damn play

[maroonmania]

Matthews defense is saving us for the moment.

[msstate7]

Good timing, lol.

I love being dumb

[msstate7]

Matthews defense is saving us for the moment.

He's gonna be a really good player

[BeardoMSU]

This has been absolutely one of the ugliest ****ing games I've ever watched. Up their with the 3-2 Auburn.

[BeardoMSU]

But glad we somehow failed upwards and won, lol.

[RocketDawg]

Pretty good game. We live to play another.

Baseball at 6:30.

[maroonmania]

I don't know how you win being that sloppy but I'll take it.

[msstate7]

Kenpom had St. Louis 30 spots above us. They were a 4.5 pt favorite. We advance. Great win

[BeardoMSU]

I don't know how you win being that sloppy but I'll take it.

Charlie Sheen made a career out of it.**

[Percho]

I love being dumb

Me also.

[RLM38654]

Kenpom had St. Louis 30 spots above us. They were a 4.5 pt favorite. We advance. Great win

Saint Louis is a really good team. Possibly could get Stans, if they beat Richmond.

[Turfdawg67]

Me also.

You two got the market on that...

[PGHBulldogBG]

Saint Louis is a really good team. Possibly could get Stans, if they beat Richmond.

Can you imagine if we play Stans and lose lol. That would cause a big uproar between which recruiter is a better coach.

[Coach34]

Can you imagine if we play Stans and lose lol. That would cause a big uproar between which recruiter is a better coach.

flip side- imagine how many here and on Sixpack will be butthurt if Howland beats Stands?

[BeardoMSU]

flip side- imagine how many here and on Sixpack will be butthurt if Howland beats Stands?

Maybe his son on the team can hit the game winner, lol.

[msstate7]

flip side- imagine how many here and on Sixpack will be butthurt if Howland beats Stands?

Many a family dog would be kicked

[PGHBulldogBG]

flip side- imagine how many here and on Sixpack will be butthurt if Howland beats Stands?

Very true I can agree with that. It will be entertaining. I am not a fan of either so I will be sitting with my popcorn if we win to see that

[Ari Gold]

This has been absolutely one of the ugliest ****ing games I've ever watched. Up their with the 3-2 Auburn.

Then apparently you watch very little college basketball...

[BeardoMSU]

Then apparently you watch very little college basketball...

Lay off, Ari, lol....that was a stressful few minutes.

[R2Dawg]

Good win, ugly down the stretch but we beat a good team. Lets just go ahead and win this thing.

[maroonmania]

flip side- imagine how many here and on Sixpack will be butthurt if Howland beats Stands?

Maybe we should have a wager if it happens. If Howland wins, the Stans backers have to go silent for a year. If Stans wins, same thing for the Howland defenders. Settle the argument right there on the court, at least for a while. :)

[Quaoarsking]

Kenpom had St. Louis 30 spots above us. They were a 4.5 pt favorite. We advance. Great win

Richmond is only 15 spots above us, so we're good.

Louisiana Tech is 2 spots above us, while Western Kentucky is 11 spots worse than us.
