How bout a NMSU-PIG Thread?

[OLJWales]

Go NMSU

[msstate7]

Looks like we're gonna be sorta like we've been under howland, but a bigger emphasis on taking 3s

[RocketDawg]

What happens if Jans wins tonight? Does his price go up, and/or does interest from other schools go up? Or has all that been worked out - I haven't really kept up today.

[OLJWales]

Except Howland would be down 6 at this juncture instead of up by 1.

Nothing happens. He wins & goes to the Sweet 16.

[Maroonthirteen]

I'm rooting for these to be under 10 at half. Just to hear the talking heads dissect the game.

Jans uses multiple defenses and his traps are a thing of beauty way different than Ben. Offense maybe kinda similar but not defense, not even close.

[SailingDawg]

It's a barn burner so far!

[msstate7]

Easy enough to check...
At this point in Starkville: 15-15
At this point at ark: 12-12

I'm relying on iyok that a strong deal has been made but if he makes a deep run, I'd bet the price goes up.

Kenpom had our defense at 46th and theirs at 79th.

I want jans, but I do question why people who hate howland's style love jans.

Just because they’re struggling on offense TONIGHT doesn’t mean their offenses are similar. The offenses that they run aren’t similar at all.

Always with your facts 7. LOL. When I Come up with a goal post moving rebuttal, I'll let you know.

[msstate7]

I'm gonna trust that Jans is our guy, and bc of this, I hope he loses tonight. I want him in Starkville this time next week

[msstate7]

I don't mind this grind it out type of basketball. Hell, I sorta wish we were getting Shaheen Holloway

[Commercecomet24]

They maybe kinda similar but they ARE not the same. Jans will adjust to personnel Howland doesn't huge difference.

[msstate7]

Judging a coach on one game esp when that one game is in the NCAAT vs a better team is dumb. With that said, this is ugly as hell.

I can’t wait until we’re looking ugly on offense in the 2nd rd of the NCAA tourney.

No Balls.

LMAO

[msstate7]

20% fg
1:10 assists to TO ratio

[Commercecomet24]

Touche

[Ifyouonlyknew]

They’re looking bad but it’s not because they’re not getting open looks. They’ve had plenty of open looks. That’s all you can ask for.

[OLJWales]

Welp. Dis bout to get ugly.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

It’s a reason why they’re called Cinderella. That carriage is turning into a pumpkin right before our eyes.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Howland redux

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Howland redux

Yep we’ve always struggled on the 2nd tourney game with Howland. Almost a carbon copy.

[msstate7]

Howland redux

He seems to put much more of an emphasis on 3s, and he changes up defenses. Assuming he can continue to bring in good players, I think these tweaks could help us get a few more games a year which is what we need to get in the tourney.

[basedog]

Arkansas is just a more talented team. They also are attacking the basket now, NMS hasn't made adjustments yet. They gotta try and work more inside.

Maybe Jans has Stark Vegas on his mind*

[BeardoMSU]

JFC this thread has become depressing as ****.

Some of y'all giving up on the new guy before his plane has even landed. ****ing pathetic.

It’s like he could use an idk a Tolu Smith. Just throwing a name out there.

[OLJWales]

Yep. Getting shooters open is not easy and if they go cold on open jumpers then that ain't on the coach. Shooters do get into slumps.

[msstate7]

Shaheen Holloway is who I like, and this statement doesn't mean I dislike Jans. I just love holloway's defense

[msstate7]

Holloway might be about to run McMahon out the building

[chef dixon]

Jans is just tanking to get the Starkville asap

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If we can get a shooter or two and a point guard we will be a better team.

[OLJWales]

JFC this thread has become depressing as ****.

But we so afeard of losing a guy before we get him man!
I don't understand that weak defeatist mentality.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Jans did hold Arkansas to 26 with what 12 turnovers. Holloway is a very good coach.

Big Time! If Tolu returns it would be a huge lift for Jans.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Indeed

[Commercecomet24]

You got that right

[msstate7]

We gotta find a pg.

[BeardoMSU]

really good passing from NMSU this half.

[Turfdawg67]

OT: Flipping around for all 3 games going on now, one thing is obviously clear... great D is neutralizing great O. Man, I've missed that.

ETA: Mphs is making the Zags look pretty pedestrian. Great game

[msstate7]

This is what I like seeing. I don't want them to win though. Get here and start putting together a staff

[msstate7]

I don't think you could go wrong with McMahon, Holloway, or Jans. I'm enjoying their teams play

[OLJWales]

Time is not of the essence. Enjoy watching this guy's halftime adjustments.

[Maroonthirteen]

Memphis is quicker and more athletic that Gonzaga. Gonzaga has their hands full. Incredible game so far.

[msstate7]

Ark gonna mess around and Allen is gonna get hot and win this

Hardaway since that rant to the reporter has done an amazing job

[BeardoMSU]

I'll take a close Arky win late.

[Cowbell]

I can not remember when I last saw a state team play like this Aggie team has this second half. They don't have much talent but they are playing balls out.

[Turfdawg67]

Looks like Notea (sp?) has Bullard issues. Just saying

[OLJWales]

I'll take a close Arky win late.

My brain has been geared this year to expect a close PIG W.

[BeardoMSU]

Bad turnover there...

[Maroonthirteen]

Memphis is going to win. ..and their fans will be unbearable next week.

[Turfdawg67]

St Peter & Murray St pretty great too. I could care less because my bracket had UK advancing... :-(

But great game!

[Ifyouonlyknew]

It’s very hard to pull off a major upset with your star playing as bad as Teddy is tonight.

[PGHBulldogBG]

This Saint Peters team is extremely skilled and well coached. Their rotations and shot selection is spot on. It?s funny UK lost to them but I?ve never seen a 15 seed this solid. Oral Roberts was good last year but this is even better

[BeardoMSU]

Yep. They're still battling, though. Love the effort from these guys. I'm looking forward to this culture here.

[OLJWales]

They are indeed insufferable. Lived there 12 yrs and don't envy your Monday one bit.

[Turfdawg67]

Maybe I'm just older and don't care as much, but I thought UGA fans would be unbearable after their NC (I live in GA) but it hasn't been too bad. Really, not bad at all for a fan base that should've had more championships.

[msstate7]

At rupp arena this year?

[BeardoMSU]

McCants is like Varnado out there.

[basedog]

McCants has played like a grown man this half.

[Turfdawg67]

Again... Bullardesque

[OLJWales]

At rupp arena this year?

Dare day go again! Evah time I bring up STATE Hoops somebody gotta pull Rupp OUT DAY ASS!!. Dat was just day one! ONE!! Jans don't have just one, he got LOTS!! Now all you Mfkers pullin' ginst Jan's? 17 you!, 17 you! & 17 you! Who Next?

[662dawg]

I hope they win. My daughter is in Portland cheerleading for them & them going all the way would be an amazing experience for her 😁

She?s also 1-0 against the State football team 🤬

We erased an 18-pt lead on the road against one of the best teams in the county, but like so many, we came up short. I would say that game qualifies as playing "balls out" in the 2nd half.

Giving our team credit shouldn't be frowned upon here. Howland is gone, so no reason to trash our team.

Bring on Jans

[BeardoMSU]

This worked out for us. We saw how gritty this guy's team is, and he'll be here next week putting together a staff and 'cruiting kids.

[OLJWales]

Who agrees had we played this hot Pig team on this stage we woulda got whipped bad?

Having fun man. Nothing personal, strictly bidness.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Alright fire up the jet. Bring Him Home.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Does Jans have any type of connection to us? This hire will beat the UF and Mizzou hires. I ask because we played NM State in Jackson in 2019 and I feel like I?ve heard before he wanted out job. It?s great if we are able to pull him over UF because I would think UF would?ve gone after Jans before Golden

No connection, but he has been pushing since February for it.

It’s almost like our job is a lot better than our fans think it is.

[Joebob]

Gotta say I feel a lot better about this hire after watching the second half. NMSU made the adjustments they needed and played a totally different style in the second half, just couldn't get the shots to fall. It'll be nice to see a coach and a team with some fire in their belly for once.
