Fla -4.5

[klong-dog]

This game is very big. To keep the momentum going and to help create the atmosphere for Saturday. Plus just having another quality win.

[Catfish]

This game is very big. To keep the momentum going and to help create the atmosphere for Saturday. Plus just having another quality win.

Agree

[msstate7]

Gonna be tough, but I do think we match up well. Florida is a good team

[msstate7]

Line is Florida -6 now. Is tolu expected to play? That's a big move

[klong-dog]

-6.5 now. Hmmm

[msstate7]

We moved up 1 spot in NET to #47. Richmond is #101, so if they move up 1 more spot, we get another Q2 win

[PMDawg]

That 400 point beat down from Ole Miss, who is currently vying for last place in the league, is going to be an albatross around our neck all season.

[msstate7]

That 400 point beat down from Ole Miss, who is currently vying for last place in the league, is going to be an albatross around our neck all season.

They're #133 in NET. Certainly not a good loss by any stretch, but not a killer if we take care of our business. The OM loss is currently a Q2 loss

[RougeDawg]

That 400 point beat down from Ole Miss, who is currently vying for last place in the league, is going to be an albatross around our neck all season.

If we keep playing well with Tolu back, the committee will look at that loss differently. We need to keep putting together solid efforts with the full team and the 4 losses will not be counted as badly against us.

[LC Dawg]

Didn't classes just start?
I hope the line is not moving because we're shorthanded again because of Covid.

[yjnkdawg]

Line is Florida -6 now. Is tolu expected to play? That's a big move

CBH said yesterday in his FL preview that Tolu would be matched up with Castleton this year unlike last year when he was our 4. He just said Watts is still not 100%, but we need him as he is our best 3 point shooter. So hopefully Tolu will play and start.

[PMDawg]

They're #133 in NET. Certainly not a good loss by any stretch, but not a killer if we take care of our business. The OM loss is currently a Q2 loss

While true, their trajectory indicates they will not finish 133rd. When they end up with 4 or less SEC wins, it's just not going to look good. But mostly, I just hate losing to those jacklegs. And their current level of suckdom just makes it that much worse. Lol

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Who is out for Florida?

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

UF best player is out. The center

[RocketDawg]

What's the rule about how long an offensive player can stay in the paint? I used to be 3 seconds, but it seems at times to be unlimited now.

[RocketDawg]

#14 for Florida has a most unusual hairdo.

[parabrave]

Don't let Jeffries touch the dam ball

[parabrave]

Way to go to the Basket Mol/

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well that ball was off UF. Ref standing right there, gives it to UF. No review.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice move by Davis. Down 1

[Lord McBuckethead]

UF big guy out with 2 rebounding fouls.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Watts just hung in the air for like 4 seconds on that drive. Up two.

[parabrave]

Good play by Watts and draw the foul.

[MoreCowbell]

So far so good. Playing good team basketball and crashing the boards

[RocketDawg]

Florida is hitting the 3's. That can't go on for long.

[MoreCowbell]

Molinar legit

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. No one wants to break a weak ass press? WTF guys. Push.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That red called what he thinks he saw. Davis got all ball and didn?t even get him with the body.

[LC Dawg]

Garcia continues to make plays in his limited minutes.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Davis walked before the shot, but he missed by 4 feet from 2 feet.

[MoreCowbell]

Doing a good job of rebounding so far

[R2Dawg]

We are playing well but UF getting all the bounces it seems just like Bama game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Why the heck is Watts dribbling backwards against the press?

[R2Dawg]

Pressure is killing us

[MoreCowbell]

Teams set records from 3 against us

[MoreCowbell]

Hell yeah Moore

[Lord McBuckethead]

Two big baskets while Mol is on the bench.

[R2Dawg]

Moore is such a key piece of this team.

[LC Dawg]

If Moore can continue to hit his 3s tonight we've got a great chance to win this.

[LC Dawg]

Our starting bigs are 0-2 with one of the shots being a 3.

[R2Dawg]

Smith fouled 3 times and no call. UF we get all ball and they call a foul. Bias ain't looking good early.

DJ killing us. TO, can't hit a shot.

[Lord McBuckethead]

ESPN is talking us up. We need to extend the lead and close this out.

[R2Dawg]

ESPN is talking us up. We need to extend the lead and close this out.

With UF player out, we really need this win. No excuse. Just defend 3

[Saltydog]

We're just not sharp so far tonight. With Casleton out there's no excuse for us not to win this game tonight. None.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Another big play by Garcia.

[MoreCowbell]

Matthews has great length and a high motor

[R2Dawg]

Nice drive finish by Cam

[MoreCowbell]

We're just not sharp so far tonight. With Casleton out there's no excuse for us not to win this game tonight. None.

I think we have played pretty well so far

[MoreCowbell]

#14 for Florida reminds me of Tracy Morgans character from The Longest Yard

[R2Dawg]

We are getting screwed on some calls. Just took 3 away from us.

[msstate7]

Wow, horrible huge call on smith

[MoreCowbell]

That is terrible ref

[Lord McBuckethead]

Refs keeping UF in it.

[msstate7]

Who is that foul on?

[LC Dawg]

#14 for Florida reminds me of Tracy Morgans character from The Longest Yard
I thought of the Blaine Edwards character played by Damon Wayans on "In Living Color".

[msstate7]

They're on the ropes. Gotta finish this half strong... let's get Molinar some more drives to the basket

[Lord McBuckethead]

All in all, we are playing pretty good ball. I would live to see our defense clamp down a little.

[R2Dawg]

They're on the ropes. Gotta finish this half strong... let's get Molinar some more drives to the basket

They have no answer for Molinar

[R2Dawg]

This officiating is ridiculous. Davis gets fouled into UF player but foul is on us

[parabrave]

You kn ow it's bad when even the announcers are calling fouls ticky tack/

[MoreCowbell]

Refs keeping UF in it

[msstate7]

Florida can mug us all the sudden

[LC Dawg]

Refs are hurting us but we also have spurts where we play like ass.

[RocketDawg]

#14 for Florida reminds me of Tracy Morgans character from The Longest Yard

Ponytail on the front ....

[MoreCowbell]

Molina needs to take over like that

[Lord McBuckethead]

I think UF didn?t take the ball out of bounds after Mols shot. Seriously.

[parabrave]

How was that a foul on Mol????>?

[R2Dawg]

Molinar never touched him.

[RocketDawg]

Lots of fouls both ways.

[msstate7]

Good 1st half.

[parabrave]

Mol is having a great 1st half!

[RocketDawg]

Pretty good first half by the Dogs. They slacked off a little in the last 3 minutes but overall not bad.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That will work.

[MoreCowbell]

Is Brooks the only senior that gets playing time?

[RocketDawg]

Am I the only person who likes Fish? He seems to be fair all around, and we know he was a great player.

[LC Dawg]

Good 1st half.
It would have been nice if Tolu had made the trip.**

[MoreCowbell]

Also the guy in the blue suit and glasses doing halftime show on SEC network is not very good. Speaks slow and timid

[msstate7]

Is Brooks the only senior that gets playing time?

Think so, but Molinar might as well be... I don't see him coming back. Even if he isn't projected to go in the draft, I bet he moves on

[msstate7]

Good 1st half.
It would have been nice if Tolu had made the trip.**

I'm gonna blame it on him still getting wind back after Covid. No idea if this true, but I think he's much better than that 1st half

[R2Dawg]

Am I the only person who likes Fish? He seems to be fair all around, and we know he was a great player.

Fish is good, like him a lot.

[R2Dawg]

Think so, but Molinar might as well be... I don't see him coming back. Even if he isn't projected to go in the draft, I bet he moves on

Agree. Wish Molinar would return but he is getting drafted. Dude got game.

[msstate7]

Our guys need to be ready... Florida needs this game more than us, and they'll fight

[LC Dawg]

I'm gonna blame it on him still getting wind back after Covid. No idea if this true, but I think he's much better than that 1st half

Absolutely he's better than that. And he hasn't played much all year so I'm sure he's not in perfect playing shape. He seemed to play lazy a few times so hopefully it is based on his time out and it gets better soon.

[R2Dawg]

Come out and kill their hope right off the bat.

[LC Dawg]

I hope Howland told Molinar at halftime his goal is to score 30 in this game.

[msstate7]

Anyone know why the Louisville-BC game is delayed? We really need Louisville to pick up a win and start playing better.

[chef dixon]

Random thought but Florida basketball crowd support seems as shit as ours

[R2Dawg]

Knocks Tolu into the bleachers and no foul?

[PGHBulldogBG]

Random thought but Florida basketball crowd support seems as shit as ours

Their fans are over White

[msstate7]

Ok, every possession needs a big man touch now

[chef dixon]

Great start with fouls

[msstate7]

Ok, every possession needs a big man touch now

Excellent

[R2Dawg]

FT shooting ain't getting us a win.

[msstate7]

ESPN not updating stats. Trying to keep with up fouls

[msstate7]

FT shooting ain't getting us a win.

1 guy. If tolu gonna miss em all, put Davis in

[LC Dawg]

These refs are ****ing horrible. And they've missed both ways.

[chef dixon]

ESPN not updating stats. Trying to keep with up fouls

5-1 advantage

[msstate7]

5-1 advantage

Yeah, trying to see individual fouls. Think Florida has 2 guys with 3 and 1 with 4

[LC Dawg]

We can win this game without Tolu but we're gonna need him for the next three. Maybe he should rest up the rest of this game.

[msstate7]

Yeah, trying to see individual fouls. Think Florida has 2 guys with 3 and 1 with 4

I was right. They have some serious foul trouble

[msstate7]

Atta boy, tolu

[msstate7]

Was that not a foul?

[R2Dawg]

Horrible night by Smith.

[PMDawg]

Tolu is killing us. We're up double digits if he was playing even average basketball

[LC Dawg]

Molinar has been called for some bs fouls.

[R2Dawg]

Guard the 3

[PMDawg]

We're so low IQ

[R2Dawg]

We are about to have one of those losses that keeps us out of tourney

[msstate7]

Get Moore in the game

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well Watts just picked up his dribble for no damn reason. By the time it is reset, shot clock.

[LC Dawg]

How can we not get a shot off?

[chef dixon]

They are just hitting 3s

[Lord McBuckethead]

We had 6 consecutive terrible possessions. WTF. That is not what a good team does. Weak ass defense and turnovers.

[LC Dawg]

Molinar needs to look to drive on every possession.

[R2Dawg]

Get Moore in the game

Yes, yes

[Lord McBuckethead]

How can we not get a shot off?

Because we paused for 14 seconds at the top of the key, and then Watts picks up his dribble after he almost carries it.

[R2Dawg]

Molinar and Moore don't need out rest of game.

[LC Dawg]

Molinar and Moore don't need out rest of game.

Yep

[PGHBulldogBG]

This is not a knock on the team I just don?t think we will win any road games besides Mizzou and SC but I think we win all the home ones except Auburn. I predicted 10-8 to start the season and I think that will be enough to get us in with a win in the SEC tournament

[R2Dawg]

Brooks gets hit in the face and then a touch foul on him???

[msstate7]

That guy punched brooks in the face before that shot

[Saltydog]

We're so low IQ

AND that is evident on that foul by Brooks on the jump shot.

[R2Dawg]

Smith waking up.

Moore delivers.

[LC Dawg]

This is not a knock on the team I just don?t think we will win any road games besides Mizzou and SC but I think we win all the home ones except Auburn. I predicted 10-8 to start the season and I think that will be enough to get us in with a win in the SEC tournament

We're going to win this road game.

[BayouDawg]

Molinar and Moore don't need out rest of game.

I wouldnt mind Brooks sitting the rest of the game. Moore and Mol have been lights out though.

[LC Dawg]

Tolu coming alive. Nice to see.

[BayouDawg]

These commentators must have money on the gators

[R2Dawg]

This team is not weak minded, we gonna pull away and win this

[msstate7]

Tolu is playing great now

[R2Dawg]

These commentators must have money on the gators

Ain't that truth, they prob lead gator cheers at break.

[R2Dawg]

DJ kills us again. Garcia needs his minutes.

[BayouDawg]

We just go full retard at the worst times

[R2Dawg]

Moore the killer

[msstate7]

Damn

[R2Dawg]

Did Moore really even touch him?

[Saltydog]

And there we go with another DUMB play. That makes 3 times we've fouled them on a 3 point attempt.....

[BayouDawg]

Another foul on a 3. Youve got to be kidding me

[msstate7]

Another foul on a 3. Youve got to be kidding me

We raise hell for them to challenge 3s, and then that BS when they do. F

[PGHBulldogBG]

We're going to win this road game.

Possibly, but we?ve had opportunities to put them away and haven?t. That is usually a recipe for disaster. We need another run

[R2Dawg]

We need this win bad worse than Sat. Q1 win. Lose tonight, Sat is a must win at home.

[msstate7]

Molinar, Moore, and tolu need to be shooting the ball

[msstate7]

Possibly, but we?ve had opportunities to put them away and haven?t. That is usually a recipe for disaster. We need another run

We aren't playing air. This is a team playing for their season

[R2Dawg]

We raise hell for them to challenge 3s, and then that BS when they do. F

Well challenge don't mean foul

[LC Dawg]

Tolu has played much better this half but I don't understand why our all SEC player has zero points in the 2nd half. We've got to get Molinar some shots.

[R2Dawg]

We've led the whole game. Season killer if we lose.

[msstate7]

Got to go at the big guy

[R2Dawg]

Biggest BS game ever

[BayouDawg]

Just a total collapse.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Colorado State all over again

[msstate7]

Show the play. Looks like he mugged the guy catching the pass

[CaptainObvious]

We raise hell for them to challenge 3s, and then that BS when they do. F

Yup. Now we know why they don?t try to defend the 3 ball. When your best Player who is also a post player is out, you have to make 3?s and they have done it. Didn?t hurt for our offense to fall totally apart!!

[LC Dawg]

That's on Molinar. He's got to be better than that.

[msstate7]

He ran right thru brooks

[Lord McBuckethead]

We just shit away a 8 pt lead in 3 minutes.

[msstate7]

That's a foul on someone

[R2Dawg]

Game over

[Lord McBuckethead]

Jeffries will not do anything to win us a game. He turns it over. That is all he can do.

[R2Dawg]

Bad, bad loss again.

[RocketDawg]

One of the bigger momentum swings you'll ever see.

[PMDawg]

This is why I can't watch this team. At least baseball is soon.

[R2Dawg]

Jeffries will not do anything to win us a game. He turns it over. That is all he can do.

He is terrible. Big nothing transfer.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Guys. Attack the basket.

[msstate7]

Attack the basket. They're in huge foul trouble

[MoreCowbell]

What a collapse

[Lord McBuckethead]

He is terrible. Big nothing transfer.

He plays the wrong position. And Brooks that is playing his spot is too soft.

[BayouDawg]

Just no mental toughness shown at all. Let them speed us up with the zone and trap. No adjustments. Just disgusting.

[LC Dawg]

Extra possession is unacceptable but the 3 from inside the gator is impressive.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Attack the basket. They're in huge foul trouble

Nope. We could have been doing that for the last 12 minutes. But no. We keep letting Jeffries touch it.

[EdwardDrayton]

We have the IQ of a turtle. With apologies to the turtle.

[R2Dawg]

We need a 3 point shooter or two. We have one.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Just no mental toughness shown at all. Let them speed us up with the zone and trap. No adjustments. Just disgusting.

I have said this since the day Howland was hired, full court man to man and trap when you want, and our entire offense is dead.

[PendingTransaction]

Dammit, please stop showing the FL player in the white hoodie every freaking 15 seconds!! Sick of it!!!!

[BayouDawg]

Attack the basket. They're in huge foul trouble

That would require more than the combined 3 brain cells on this roster and coaching staff.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I mean, we can still win this, but someone needs to 17n wake the 17 up. And that person is the entire 17n team.

[HoopsDawg]

Nope. We could have been doing that for the last 12 minutes. But no. We keep letting Jeffries touch it.

Finally put Matthews in for Jeffries but it's too late. We went away from the formula that allowed us to close out Bama.

[msstate7]

Molinar disappearing. Crap

[BayouDawg]

I have said this since the day Howland was hired, full court man to man and trap when you want, and our entire offense is dead.

Hell he cant even figure out a 2-3 zone. This pressure probably looks like Hebrew to him.

[Saltydog]

Typical CBH and MSU men's basketball.......And some of you guys wonder why we don't draw shit for home games......Do you know now? We had a golden opportunity here to steal a road game against a middle of the pack SEC team (w/o their best player mind you) and completely shit the bed......The good news is we will get a high seed in the NIT.......

[msstate7]

Molinar beat bama for us, but he lost this one

[R2Dawg]

no points in 4.5 minutes. Bad basketball

[BayouDawg]

NIT bound baby. The Howland special

[Cooterpoot]

Can't wait for the new guy next season. Glad Howland is hanging it up. It's past time.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well, there goes the NCAA. This was our easiest game for the next two weeks.

[R2Dawg]

Molinar beat bama for us, but he lost this one

He didn't have his best game but he had plenty of help

[R2Dawg]

Well, there goes the NCAA. This was our easiest game for the next two weeks.

Probably our last Q1 chance.

[msstate7]

Can't wait for the new guy next season. Glad Howland is hanging it up. It's past time.

Took a break Saturday night, didn't you? Eat a dick

[msstate7]

Molinar disappeared

[cheewgumm]

Brutal


Our offense is absouletly brutal.


Save your emotions for baseball.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Well, there goes the NCAA. This was our easiest game for the next two weeks.

Ole Miss and South Carolina at home are 2 of the next 4. We better win those. @UK and @TTU would take a miracle

[HoopsDawg]

Molinar beat bama for us, but he lost this one

Molinar had a bad half, but several players played poorly

[Lord McBuckethead]

16 pt swing in 6 minutes. Good coaching and great execution.

[R2Dawg]

UF has applied to Ark model. Foul all the time, they can't call them all.

[BayouDawg]

Credit to Florida. They made our ass quit. The guys in maroon got flat out worked by the gators tonight. I was most disappointed in Brooks. He was lazy all night.

[msstate7]

Molinar had a bad half, but several players played poorly

Yes, they did, but we can't win on the road with Molinar being garbage the last 10 mins

[RocketDawg]

We can't make a thing.

[Saltydog]

Can't wait for the new guy next season. Glad Howland is hanging it up. It's past time.

Please don't let msstate7 know.....Howland is his boy......

[R2Dawg]

As a team, we bring nothing new coaching or anything. No press, no O wrinkles, D wringles, nothing. Just vanilla

[LC Dawg]

Nice lead on the road with their best player out and we shit the bed for 5 minutes. I've defended Howland but this is unacceptable.

[msstate7]

Please don't let msstate7 know.....Howland is his boy......

I'm a fan of our basketball team. I don't celebrate the losses like you 2 douches

[msstate7]

Nice lead on the road with their best player out and we shit the bed for 5 minutes. I've defended Howland but this is unacceptable.

Our best player checked out to make it a draw

[MoreCowbell]

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. What a gut punch loss. There goes our momentum again, typical Howland

[99jc]

every time i start getting excited, we shit the bed.

[msstate7]

Molinar just scored his only points of the 2nd half. What a horrible half, but particularly the last 10 mins

[msstate7]

Molinar is too freaking good to completely choke. He's our star, and that's why I hold him accountable

[LC Dawg]

Molinar scored his first points of the 2nd half with 47 seconds left and that is unacceptable.

[Saltydog]

No, but you'd suck the sweat off Howland's nut sack....Is he old enough yet that his balls hang down to his knees?

So, you're a fan of mediocrity? Nevermind, we all know.....

[msstate7]

No, but you'd suck the sweat off Howland's nut sack....Is he old enough yet that his balls hang down to his knees?

Please go drink a bottle of bleach and make this world a better place

[R2Dawg]

Sorry but great coaches don't let this happen. You adjust, call TO, do something. You draw a play up for your best player to do something. We just stood there and let it happen

[msstate7]

And howland, you gave brooks and Jeffries a shot to play the positions they wanted to play. They suck at them... play them where it helps the team or sit em

[LC Dawg]

Molinar is too freaking good to completely choke. He's our star, and that's why I hold him accountable

Did he choke or did our coaching staff choke? It didn't look like we changed anything to what should have been an expected defensive emphasis on Molinar.

[CJDAWG85]

Until Cohen pulls his head out of his ass.. this is the best Howland will give you. His teams completely fall apart down the stretch. But hey!!!! Yall pack the hump on Saturday!!!

[cheewgumm]

Howland is done, imo.

We will maybe make NIT...we are just not consistent.

This will probably happen a few more times.

Moving on...

[R2Dawg]

And howland, you gave brooks and Jeffries a shot to play the positions they wanted to play. They suck at them... play them where it helps the team or sit em

Agree, that is exactly what those two transfers were about. Cam, Davis and Garcia would be better minutes.

[R2Dawg]

White ain't a great coach but he made our coaching look elementary.

[msstate7]

Molinar inside 10 mins to go...
1-6 (0-1 ft)
2 TOs
0 assists

[msstate7]

Agree, that is exactly what those two transfers were about. Cam, Davis and Garcia would be better minutes.

Self tried Newman at pg like 5 mins, and then told him to play SG. Howland needs to do this with brooks and Jeffries

[Cowbell]

I'm a fan of our basketball team. I don't celebrate the losses like you 2 douches

You are literally the exact same way in football. You can't say anything. You make no sense to me - you take up for howland more than bucky takes up for will and then you hate on our football coaches (though it is deserved) at every chance.

[RougeDawg]

We made some lazy and boneheaded plays in the 2nd half. Didn?t have the effort as the 1st half.

As I?ve said, I will say it again. This team will win with effort and lose without it. 1st half had effort. 2nd half the effort had already gotten on the bus with its post game meal. Sad but that?s the deciding factor

[BayouDawg]

Self tried Newman at pg like 5 mins, and then told him to play SG. Howland needs to do this with brooks and Jeffries

Brooks is soft as baby shit and lazy. Jeffries looks like a chicken with its head cut off running around.

[EdwardDrayton]

How about a little decorum folks.

[msstate7]

You are literally the exact same way in football. You can't say anything. You make no sense to me - you take up for howland more than bucky takes up for will and then you hate on our football coaches (though it is deserved) at every chance.

I literally just criticized howland right before and after this post about his handling of brooks and Jeffries.

[Bdawg]

Howland is done, imo.

We will maybe make NIT...we are just not consistent.

This will probably happen a few more times.

Moving on...

His teams have been the epitome of inconsistent. Give you just enough wins to spark a little hope, and then boom, let's you down every time. And this has been shown over a period of time. Players deserve blame for effort and shooting. Coach deserves blame for not changing anything throughout the game, making the right substitutions, and the awful offense he throws on the court every game. Watching paint dry is almost equal to the excitement of his offense.

[Cooterpoot]

Took a break Saturday night, didn't you? Eat a dick

Why? You do know he's retiring after the season right? Yep

[msstate7]

What a brutal loss. Hopefully bama and Louisville can salvage the night some

[msstate7]

Why? You do know he's retiring after the season right? Yep

And I'm fine with that, but I wanna go out a tourney team.

[msstate7]

This loss reminds me of the football one to memphis. Had it, had it, and then just total crash and burn. Just really tough to swallow

[PGHBulldogBG]

Wow I thought I was critical of Howland. We lost to a team that will make the tournament on the road. Florida was favored and while I?m not a big Howland fan this was more on Molinar and others not stepping up in the 2nd half. Now if we lose to Ole Miss or South Carolina at home that will be a cause for a freak out, but not this loss on the road

[Cooterpoot]

And I'm fine with that, but I wanna go out a tourney team.

Who doesn't? But I'm a realist. I've seen this story more than Seinfeld reruns. It's the never-ending story that's finally coming to an end. We can make the tournament but we all know the NIT is more likely.

[msstate7]

Don't mind me... I'm just drunk.

Ok, I'm not drunk, but I'm really pissed, and blaming you for some reason. Apologies to you and salty

[msstate7]

Alabama looks like they trying yo be like us down the stretch. Need this bama win

[msstate7]

Lsu on 12-1 run... now down 2 with 4:47 to go

That?s the nature though or a lot of teams outside the top 25. All the SEC teams are like that this year outside of UK and Auburn and UGA who is just really bad

[msstate7]

This is what I don't think most here understand. Only the elite and bad teams play with real consistency in this conference now that it's good

Now if we lose to Ole Miss or South Carolina at home that will be a cause for a freak out, but not this loss on the road

We were winning the whole game, they were without their best player. Not only did we blow it and lose but we lost convincingly. Total choke

Bama +5 2:06 to go

Don't mind me... I'm just drunk.

Ok, I'm not drunk, but I'm really pissed, and blaming you for some reason. Apologies to you and salty

Well, if it's any consolation please accept my apologies.....We may or may not agree on all things MSU but we do have one thing in common, we're spirited.....Wish our basketball team had a little of that......Baseball season is just around the corner so better days are ahead for us all.........

[Bothrops]

I have grown to really hate this sport now. To be honest it's partially due to knowing that MSU's best hoops days are well over a decade removed and the future holds nothing here. I'd rather the whole college game go down the drain so we wouldn't have to waste money on this turd. Officials run the game and pick the winners, players can't shoot anymore, few decent coaches and too many programs for a limited number of players. Oh, it's also dead with too many fans like me.

It was certainly a choke, and howland deserves be criticized for it. With that said, we can win on the road with Molinar playing like this...

Molinar inside 10 mins to go...
1-6 (0-1 ft)
2 TOs
0 assists

His only fg was when the game was over

Bro hug for now...

We'll fight again in a game or 2 haha

Then why do you get your panties in a wad when everybody else gets upset at him

I just don't buy in to what seems to be the notion that the only thing between us and basketball glory is Ben howland. I think he's done a really solid job here... not spectacular, but hardly horrible like a lot make it out to be.

The officials allowed them to maul us in the last 6 mins. That was the game decider.

[msstate7]

If cooter is right, I really like that howland is leaving on his own terms this year. I think we could possibly get a coach that can elevate the program, but not if we fire howland.

FLORIDA was missing their best player and maybe the finalist for the S.E.C. player of the year.

Yep, when you are allowed to maul the other team you can play loose. UF made shots. It was just like the Ark 40 min of hell where you foul more than they can call.

I think it started earlier than that. Florida came out and got a ton of fouls to start the 2nd half. Once the officials saw the foul difference, they started letting Florida get away with more so the foul discrepancy evened up.

[PGHBulldogBG]

As long as we don?t lose something bad and end 10-8 I?m good with that overall. It will get us in the dance. Of course I want us to win all games but that?s not realistic. I just don?t want a loss to someone like SC or Mizzou or any other home games besides Auburn (that?s an exception)

Was this excuse allowed here when we lost without tolu?

[msstate7]

Bama won.
Louisville up in a close one.

Need Louisville
