MSU vs Ole Miss basketball

[NCMSTFAN]

Howland has to win this game, his record against Ole Miss is not good and they beat us up bad at their place a couple of weeks ago. We have to protect home court. It's close to a must win because we still have Auburn, Tennesse, UK, LSU and Texas Tech left. It doesn't get any easier

[99jc]

YAWN....Rinse and repeat!

[msstate7]

We got this.

Need Minnesota, ark, Louisville, Furman, bama, and Winthrop to win today also

[Catfish]

We got this!

[Coach34]

It is 100% the proverbial “must win”

[HoopsDawg]

It is 100% the proverbial “must win”

Must win gets overused. But this is definitely must win. Ole Miss is 1-4 in the SEC with their only win coming against us.

[CadaverDawg]

It's a must win. And when you look at the rosters and the fact that we have a multiple Final 4 coach, it is embarrassing that it isn't a damn near guaranteed win. We better win today or you'll be able to hear a mouse fart in the Hump the rest of the season. Probably Shouldn't be that way, but it's the truth

[parabrave]

We have a multiple final 4 coach who caught fire years ago with a potential HOFer and has rode that coattail since.

[MoreCowbell]

11 point favorite. Oh boy if we lose this one

[msstate7]

We have a multiple final 4 coach who caught fire years ago with a potential HOFer and has rode that coattail since.

He took northern Arizona to the tourney, and took Pittsburgh to back-to-back sweet 16s. He got the ucla job bc he was damn good. Now he's certainly not the same coach as he was back then, but it's wrong to say he isn't good. He's taken 4 different programs to the tourney now

[msstate7]

Minnesota won. Really hope we can blast ice cube today was a good day tonight.

[parabrave]

To paraphrase Billy Bean I'm not paying you for the coach/player you were I'm paying you for the coach you are now/

[msstate7]

To paraphrase Billy Bean I'm not paying you for the coach/player you were I'm paying you for the coach you are now/

Howland is 13th in the sec in salary. Are we getting our money worth?

ETA... artifice was 2019. Not sure where he ranks currently, but I'm sure close to the bottom

[parabrave]

Howland is 13th in the sec in salary. Are we getting our money worth?

ETA... artifice was 2019. Not sure where he ranks currently, but I'm sure close to the bottom

Nope. When you look at the stands today ans see how much money, Sales and concessions, we are bringing in nope. TV money doesn't count. Bruce Pearl makes 400 grand more. I'd say Aubbie is really getting their monies worth/ On the other hand Cream is playing Burglar with Uga. Until he lost control we got our moneys worth out of Stans/

Well that's bc we as a fanbase suck, not howland

[parabrave]

How do we as a fanbase suck??

[Saltydog]

Wrong, wrong, wrong.....Our fan base is just like any other.....When you win, you'll be supported.......When you don't and consistently don't meet expectations you won't.....I don't have to tell you which one Howland is in do i?

[msstate7]

OM outdraws us with less results

Our attendance sucked when we were a 5-seed a few years back.

[msstate7]

For once in my life, I don't feel like arguing. I won't convince you, and you won't convince me. Hail state! Beat OM!

[Commercecomet24]

Carrying and traveling just aren't called anymore. Smh

[Vandownbytheriver]

Carrying and traveling just aren't called anymore. Smh

You can thank LeBron for that. He's so blatant with it they've just stopped calling it all the way around.

[Saltydog]

Carrying and traveling just aren't called anymore. Smh

Think if they called "palming".....Today's players couldn't score if they did.........

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why do we let Matthews get minutes?

[msstate7]

Cam carter shouldn't be playing if he's gonna take that shot

[R2Dawg]

OM outdraws us with less results

Our attendance sucked when we were a 5-seed a few years back.

OM is not supporting their team right now. We are just like most other fanbases, actually we are better. We still support suck football and only need a little hope to support most sports.

[Commercecomet24]

Think if they called "palming".....Today's players couldn't score if they did.........

Yeah it's just not the same game I grew up playing. Basketball today is just And 1

[Commercecomet24]

You can thank LeBron for that. He's so blatant with it they've just stopped calling it all the way around.

Yep.

[Saltydog]

Why do we let Matthews get minutes?

I don't mind Matthews getting minutes, just like I don't mind Garcia getting minutes but I DO have a problem with them both playing at the same time. It just limits us so much offensively......

[R2Dawg]

We have no chemistry flow or anything. Howland still hasn't figured out who can play and who can't?

[CrookedLetta]

Where?s rocket?

[parabrave]

You can thank LeBron for that. He's so blatant with it they've just stopped calling it all the way around.

Naw that goes back to Jordan.

[R2Dawg]

DJ needs to come alive in this season.

[msstate7]

We just trapped. Holy hell

[Vandownbytheriver]

Naw that goes back to Jordan.

They called it back then. LeBron gets away with multiple extra steps. All the time.

[R2Dawg]

Now we got something going. Nice trap on OM big man. Moore is so good.

[parabrave]

Nice run we have going.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Where?s rocket?
Not available today

[parabrave]

Moore getting hot. Nice assist by Tolu

[R2Dawg]

That was a pathetic foul call on Smith.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why switch? fight thru the screen!

[R2Dawg]

Another BS call Refs taking over the game for OM

[msstate7]

Brooks shooting 3s makes me wanna set puppies on fire

[R2Dawg]

Brooks shooting 3s makes me wanna set puppies on fire

Agree but that was a shot clock shot.

[LC Dawg]

It's great to see our starting five play so well together offensively.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Brooks shooting 3s makes me wanna set puppies on fire

Brooks is 1 for 12 from 3 in last 4 games

[R2Dawg]

We are getting outcoached again.

[R2Dawg]

We suck against OM

[BuckyIsAB****]

Yea we just arent very good and nobody really cares

[parabrave]

Ok OM has adjusted o the double team and we haven't.

[Commercecomet24]

And just like that we hit another scoreless streak. Geez

[R2Dawg]

Garcia should never take that 3 shot

[msstate7]

Brooks as a 4 is not a good player.

[R2Dawg]

We lose today, kiss NCAA goodby

[R2Dawg]

Brooks as a 4 is not a good player.

Agree

[BayouDawg]

Kermit just has Howland by the balls. Coaches circles around him every time.

[parabrave]

Jeez. Ruffin is going to drive us nuts.

[DownwardDawg]

They called it back then. LeBron gets away with multiple extra steps. All the time.

Agree. Jordan didn't travel at all compared to what Lebron and these players get away with today. Of course Jordan traveled some, but it was also called a lot back then. Now, if you got within 5 feet of Jordan you were gonna get called for the foul.

[LC Dawg]

Our defense is embarrassing.

[BayouDawg]

We have to come out of this stupid trap. Players cant execute it well enough.

[R2Dawg]

DJ has got to do something. He gives us almost nothing.

Moore is about the only transfer that has produced.

[msstate7]

Jeez. Ruffin is going to drive us nuts.

He's driving great, but some of those shots are complete luck. He's throwing up BS and coming up roses.

[CaptainObvious]

Sure am glad 5?9? Guys don?t get looked at hard by our staff. What in the world would Howland and George Brooks know how to use that guy?

[Commercecomet24]

Agree. Jordan didn't travel at all compared to what Lebron and these players get away with today. Of course Jordan traveled some, but it was also called a lot back then. Now, if you got within 5 feet of Jordan you were gonna get called for the foul.

Yeah this. Back then they gave you 2.5 steps called it the "nba shuffle", now it's just walk as much as you want. And palming and carrying the ball has become the norm.

[msstate7]

DJ has got to do something. He gives us almost nothing.

Moore is about the only transfer that has produced.

It's time to tell them we gave them a shot at the position they wanna be, but kit it's time to play the position they really are

[parabrave]

Sec Refs/

[R2Dawg]

All ball spot OM 3 points by refs.

[msstate7]

Clean block, foul. F the world

[msstate7]

That right there, dawgs! Stop taking 3s

[R2Dawg]

Time to get after it.

[msstate7]

Come on dawgs! Make Kermit have a stroke! We're better... show em

[BayouDawg]

Looking better now! Finish the half strong

[msstate7]

I'd pull cam immediately

[msstate7]

Cam, you dumb frick, you are not a shooter

[LC Dawg]

WTF was Matthews thinking!?

[BayouDawg]

Matthews with an awful shot shot selection then less than spectacular defense to close out the half. At least we have the lead.

[msstate7]

WTF was Matthews thinking!?

No idea, but if he takes that shot, he shouldn't play

[BayouDawg]

No idea, but if he takes that shot, he shouldn't play

Only 3 he should ever take is if the shot clock is at 1.

[msstate7]

Only 3 he should ever take is if the shot clock is at 1.

Exactly. I love cam, but that's not his game. If he's taking that shot, I'd rather not see him

[msstate7]

And who the hell is guarding Murrell? This guy only scores vs us. Whoever is guarding him should transfer to Jackson st

[CaptainObvious]

Cam is getting Rocket Watts minutes so I guess he thinks he is supposed to take Rocket Watts shots.😳😳😳

[parabrave]

4 - 13 on 3s that sucks. When we drive we are drawing fouls and we are 8-9 at the FF strip. Mol came on strong at the end and hopefully he gets stronger in the 2nd. We have only 3 TOs at the half and only 6 fouls of which 3 were BS calls. Need to stop that Murrell kid.

[CaptainObvious]

I think we should forget the push on perimeter defense out top and take our chances on them missing 3?s than to be giving them uncontested layups and 6 foot jumpers. We are taking away low % shots but giving up high % shots on the backend. Bad recipe.

[msstate7]

Cam is getting Rocket Watts minutes so I guess he thinks he is supposed to take Rocket Watts shots.😳😳😳

Watts, I don't think is gonna be healthy all year.

[trob115]

Carter should be getting more PT. He's a better defender than 🚀 and is an excellent ball handler.

Speaking of, we haven't had a Derek Fountain appearance in forever. I guess he's really fallen down the depth chart

[msstate7]

https://i.postimg.cc/nLPf1nnJ/B568-B575-FE41-43-F1-B05-D-128-CFFE8-F457.jpg (https://postimg.cc/jWP1x0Wg)

Maybe it's this, but we fixing to kick the shit out of them

[msstate7]

Carter should be getting more PT. He's a better defender than 🚀 and is an excellent ball handler.

Speaking of, we haven't had a Derek Fountain appearance in forever. I guess he's really fallen down the depth chart

I think he's being disciplined

[msstate7]

Moore is a roller coaster... I go from hating to love this guy in a split second. I think he's gonna be big time before his career is over here

[BayouDawg]

Great energy bay Moore to follow his shot and force the jump ball. We need more hustle plays like that.

[R2Dawg]

Yeah what is up with Fountain?

[R2Dawg]

Moore is a roller coaster... I go from hating to love this guy in a split second. I think he's gonna be big time before his career is over here

He doesn't make a lot of negative plays, he plays smart for the most part and he can ball.

[LC Dawg]

Moore is a roller coaster... I go from hating to love this guy in a split second. I think he's gonna be big time before his career is over here

He's streaky but when he gets hot he's fun to watch. He's got a high ceiling if he puts it all together.

[trob115]

What does Jeffries add to this lineup?

[CaptainObvious]

Not much doubt that DJ came in here thinking he was going play well enough to go to the league next year. He is playing pretty much for himself and he is hurting his team offensively. Too bad too because he is a physical defender.

[parabrave]

And that puts Murrell in foul trouble.

[R2Dawg]

How many wide open 3s we gonna give them?

[LC Dawg]

We get a 6 point lead and they call a ticky tack foul on Molinar. **** a referee.

[parabrave]

Dam Mol Murrell has 3 fouls drive right at him to get his 4th.

[BayouDawg]

How many wide open 3s we gonna give them?

We have to lead the nation in uncontested 3 pointers allowed.

[BayouDawg]

Brookes has been a lot better today. His effort is night and day different from Wednesday.

[R2Dawg]

Moore with the play

[parabrave]

Well Murrell on the bench for a while.

[R2Dawg]

Brookes has been a lot better today. His effort is night and day different from Wednesday.

Agree

[LC Dawg]

Awesome job by Moore drawing Murrell's 4th!

[BayouDawg]

Garcia made a bad turnover but hustled and got back to get the fourth foul. Good makeup

[R2Dawg]

Davis plays hard, I'm liking him more and more.

[BayouDawg]

Davis with the moves!

[R2Dawg]

Time to blow this open

[R2Dawg]

Refs step in again to hep OM out again. BS call

[R2Dawg]

Those kind of things happen every time down floor.

[R2Dawg]

Now that is DJ we expected.

[BayouDawg]

Dj has finally woke up a little

[R2Dawg]

Davis is quick off his feet, love his energy

[LC Dawg]

We've stepped up defensively.

[trob115]

Another game we lead by 15 at the under 8 timeout. Hopefully turns out better than Colorado State.

[parabrave]

Think the boys are taking out some frustrations?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Proved me wrong glad to see it

[R2Dawg]

When we weren't giving up layups, we have been intense on D. When we lock in we can be good, but when we don't it is hard to watch.

[CaptainObvious]

Do you guys think a Bruce Pearl or Rick Barnes could have meshed our talent into a Top 10 team this year. Like Pearl or not, the dude gets his guys playing together quickly. They will be #1 come Monday.

[R2Dawg]

That high post FT midrange is Brook's bread and butter

[R2Dawg]

Do you guys think a Bruce Pearl or Rick Barnes could have meshed our talent into a Top 10 team this year. Like Pearl or not, the dude gets his guys playing together quickly. They will be #1 come Monday.

Pearl obviously a great coach, can't stand him though. Yeah we'd be top 10 for sure.

^^^ the beer don't lie

[Tater]

This win will get a lot of buy-in from the fans. A win tuesday night would set the town on fire for mens basketball.

[Apoplectic]

This is Moore?s team - he stirs the drink

[BeardoMSU]

^^^ the beer don't lie

That looks like tap water with an ounce of Michelob Ultra in it.***

[LC Dawg]

This is Moore?s team - he stirs the drink

I like when Moore gets hot but this is Molinar's team.

[Tater]

****ing lmao. Of course

[LC Dawg]

****!!!!

[msstate7]

Tolu, please be ok

[R2Dawg]

Welp what luck we have. Tolu should have not been on floor.

[msstate7]

That looks like tap water with an ounce of Michelob Ultra in it.***

Dude, I'm not cool at all. I like domestics

[RocketDawg]

Looks like Tolu is out again. And the OM guy who did the damage spun around, took 2 or 3 steps, and it wasn't even called.

[Tater]

Was the non contacted knee. Not a good sign. But I'm 0fer on diagnosing serious knee injuries anymore so not taking a stab.

[BayouDawg]

Man please just be a sprain. Those non contact knee injuries are almost always ACL though.

[CJDAWG85]

Why TF was he even in the game??? **** you Howland

[BayouDawg]

Why TF was he even in the game??? **** you Howland

Yes makes no sense

[msstate7]

Why TF was he even in the game??? **** you Howland

Man, come on. Out fanbase's hate of our coach is crazy high

[R2Dawg]

I like when Moore gets hot but this is Molinar's team.

It is Iversons team but Moore will be the man after that. He is a player.

[msugolf]

Why TF was he even in the game??? **** you Howland

So stupid. Up 20 with 1 minute left and he still had his starters in. Just f***ing clueless and no awareness.

[Percho]

Why TF was he even in the game??? **** you Howland

Well he should have opted out.

[Tater]

Literally the next dead ball you pull them. Howland left them in the appropriate amount of time. A non contact injury like that is a ticking time bomb anyways. Was just gonna happen in either practice or first half of Kentucky game.

If it's small then he'll be back for Texas Tech. If it's big then not much you can do to prevent it.

[msstate7]

Yikes

[msugolf]

No hell yeah, we beat the hell
Out out of OM... it's howland shoulda pulled tolu. You guys are so disappointed today. F you

Damn. He really is your dad isnt he?

[CJDAWG85]

Because he?s a ****ing loser. I?ve never seen a coach continue to outdo himself on a level of stupidity like this clown. If you?re up 20 with less than 2 to go, you take your starters out. It?s ****ing common sense.

[msstate7]

I was hacked!

Really though, sorry

[Tater]

Because he?s a ****ing loser. I?ve never seen a coach continue to outdo himself on a level of stupidity like this clown. If you?re up 20 with less than 2 to go, you take your starters out. It?s ****ing common sense.

Nah you're just an idiot lashing out at bad luck because you don't understand how non contact injuries happen. People can tear their ACL walking. GTFOH with the misplaced anger.

[msstate7]

So mad we won. So mad

[msugolf]

And Kermit is yours. You never post anything positive about our team bc you pull against us. I hope you get aids

Go **** yourself douche

And If I was pulling against us I wouldnt be so upset about our player getting hurt possibly costing us postseason

[CJDAWG85]

**** off douche. There?s no reason the starters should?ve been in the game. Arguing against that tells me everything I need to know about you.

[msstate7]

Go **** yourself douche

So mad we won.

[msstate7]

Nah you're just an idiot lashing out at bad luck because you don't understand how non contact injuries happen. People can tear their ACL walking. GTFOH with the misplaced anger.

They're idiots that would rather lose bc they hate howland

[msugolf]

They're idiots that would rather lose bc they hate howland

Im at the game asshole. Are you?

[CJDAWG85]

I took us -11 and the over. STFU douche

[msstate7]

Im at the game asshole. Are you?

No, please don't hit your wife tonight

[msugolf]

No, please don't hit your wife tonight

If you wouldnt post 25000 posts a day on message boards maybe you could get one

[CJDAWG85]

No, please don't hit your wife tonight

Jesus dude? you should walk away from the keyboard now.

[msstate7]

If you wouldnt post 25000 posts a day on message boards maybe you could get one

If with her fine ass in Nola right now celebrating. Sorry we beat OM

[msstate7]

Jesus dude? you should walk away from the keyboard now.

Prob so, Gail state! I'm gonna celebrate

[LC Dawg]

Great job by the crowd today. We're now 2-0 in front of good home crowds. Gotta hold serve at home and sneak a few on the road. Obviously keeping Tolu is probably the difference between making tourney or not.

[CJDAWG85]

Prob so, Gail state! I'm gonna celebrate

You?re in NOLA and celebrating with your fine ass wife, but can?t stop posting on message boards? HAHAHAHAHAHA douche

[KOdawg1]

Howland on the radio just said he regrets leaving Tolu in. Hindsight is 20/20, but yeah, probably so.

Hopefully, it's not too serious.

Great team win.

[KOdawg1]

Drunk msstate7 is... interesting

No worries. Send me that drink and we?re good

[trob115]

Heard tolu is looking at a minimum 6 week recovery. Knee cap popped out and popped back in. Hopefully no major structural damage

[RougeDawg]

Damn 7. Didn?t know you were in town. Stay in groups. Robberies and carjackings have increased. It?ll be someone?s last attempted car jacking if they try me. Hell even have to carry when walking your dog at night around here and it?s a ?good? area.

Nice win. Team finally played without much thinking. Lots of simple reactions and they look like they are learning each other. Much more fluid and did not look forced. Could see it a little last few games. It got much better today in 2nd half.

Hopefully Tolu comes back soon. He is the difference on this team having a chance to make a run. And do we now have ?Tolu Knee? to go with Moultrie Knee?

[msstate7]

No worries. Send me that drink and we?re good

I'd buy you 3 if you were here. Again, im an ass, and im sorry

[Cowbell]

Nice win!

[msstate7]

We got this.

Need Minnesota, ark, Louisville, Furman, bama, and Winthrop to win today also

Minnesota, ark, Furman, bama, Winthrop, Montana, and Colorado st won.

You know in New Orleans CDM prevents that. Everywhere else its Waffle House/
