MSU at Missouri - Basketball

[RocketDawg]

Jeffries makes a 3 on his first attempt.

3-0 State at the moment.

[RocketDawg]

Missouri keeps rebounding and resetting the clock. Now a foul on MSU.

[archdog]

That was one of the worst foul calls I have ever seen against DJ.

[LC Dawg]

A horrible shot by Shak and a stupid turnover by DJ gets Mizzou back in it.

[archdog]

DJ gets pushed in the open court, then plays the shot absolutely perfectly with zero body contact and gets the block 6? off of the shooters hand. Foul called.

Seriously, the ref blew the whistle because he expected to blow the whistle.

[LC Dawg]

Bench is showing out.

[archdog]

At least Reed pushed to the rim. I miss players that will do that. Everyone that has a path needs to do that.

[parabrave]

I believe that the boys know how important this game is.

[LC Dawg]

Jones!

[archdog]

Damn good play by Jones. First flash I have seen from him.

[RocketDawg]

They're playing with intensity tonight.

There have been some questionable foul calls. Officiating shouldn't matter whether the game is home or away.

[RocketDawg]

Looked to me like his foot was on the line. I suppose they were closer to the monitor than I am to my television.

[archdog]

Shak Moore has had 3 consecutive terrible three point attempts, we may need him to start driving the ball a little.

[LC Dawg]

Shak Moore has had 3 consecutive terrible three point attempts, we may need him to start driving the ball a little.
He did hit one 3 but his 3 misses have been real bad. As long as he keeps missing they will sag off and not give him room to drive. Scouting reports show that is what he's best at.

[archdog]

Not sure what we are doing on offense. 4 guys sitting in the lane, doing nothing.

[archdog]

Good call on that jump ball.

[archdog]

Why is Davis guarding Brown? That should never happen.

[archdog]

Reed shot that with authority.

[EdwardDrayton]

Thankfully there's basketball to erase the memory of the baseball game.

[archdog]

How was that tomohawk not a foul?

[RocketDawg]

Is there a story behind Missouri fans and antlers?

[RocketDawg]

Missouri playing really 'aggressive' defense.

[msstate7]

Every time we score a basket, we immediately give up a layup

[msstate7]

My God, quit giving up layups

[LC Dawg]

Turnovers are really becoming an issue for us. And they are mostly by our starters.

[RocketDawg]

Very good first half.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Good first half but we won’t continue to shoot 3 pointers that good. We need to adjust to their defense to get the ball underneath. Just need to find a way to win and move on

[BuckyIsAB****]

Jans is COTY IMO

[LC Dawg]

As always we are playing good defense. If we can limit the turnovers and quit giving away possessions we should be ok.
With the game still being close you gotta figure they are still going to give us the 3 shot and deny Tolu the ball. If we can extend the lead they'll have to pull off Tolu some.

[msstate7]

Jans is COTY IMO

Gates and oats have a claim too

[LC Dawg]

Gates and oats have a claim too
Oats odds may be decreasing. He's getting roasted pretty hard right now. But winning often makes these stories go away.

[RocketDawg]

Oats odds may be decreasing. He's getting roasted pretty hard right now. But winning often makes these stories go away.

The Alabama fans I know are happy with the way he's handing the Miller thing. They might not think so if they weren't playing well.

[NCMSTFAN]

If we can pull this one off I like our tournament chances

[chef dixon]

If we can pull this one off I like our tournament chances

It would be close to a lock

[RocketDawg]

Free throw shooting seems to have improved over the course of the season.

[SteelCurtain74]

Buzz will get consideration as well for COTY.

[archdog]

Can we 17n dribble penetrate the lane?

[R2Dawg]

Jans is COTY IMO

If we make tourney he should be.

[R2Dawg]

Buzz will get consideration as well for COTY.

If they finish well and we falter, he would be my second choice.

[archdog]

If we cannot get the ball to Tolu, we need to get him up top to set hard pick and rolls. Come on Jans. Make the adjustment.

[archdog]

Where was that foul. 100% on the offensive player.

[civildawg]

McNair? terrible

[LC Dawg]

If we lose this game it will be because of turnovers.

[archdog]

McNair just handed them 4 pts.

[archdog]

We need to change up our defense. We need to press every made bucket and we need to shift to the 1-3-1 zone.

[LC Dawg]

Good timeout by Jans. We need to shut up this crowd out of the timeout.

[msstate7]

Had a chance to push the lead out, and we didn't. I'm worried now

[EdwardDrayton]

Jans could have helped him with a timeout too.

[archdog]

We need to drive the damn basket too. Too often one guy dribbling until forced to pick it up 6 feet beyond three point lane.

[EdwardDrayton]

Had a chance to push the lead out, and we didn't. I'm worried now

Missouri playing with a lot of 'want it'. We need to step up with some of that.

[archdog]

How do we air ball an open catch and shoot three?

[msstate7]

It's slipping away

[archdog]

That was not a foul. Got to keep your hand vertical DJ

[EdwardDrayton]

We need to drive the damn basket too. Too often one guy dribbling until forced to pick it up 6 feet beyond three point lane.

We seem to he having better luck with snap passes to the interior when Missouri extends their defense.

[archdog]

Why are we setting up 3s for DJ?

[RocketDawg]

Agree with the announcer - not gong to win by shooting constant 3's.

[archdog]

Why is Mathews guarding their Big?

[msstate7]

Why is Mathews guarding their Big?

That's a guard

[archdog]

Agree with the announcer - not gong to win by shooting constant 3's.

We could, but our shooters just need to hit one every so often. Reed is the only one that actually looked comfortable shooting a 3 today. I can?t believe I just typed that.

Also Jones. Everyone else looks really bad up until now.

[BuckyIsAB****]

All I can say is this, we are going to be in every game we play with Jan?s and staff. These kids play with unbelievable effort

[LC Dawg]

Missouri has taken 45 shots and we have taken 37.

[archdog]

What is stupid, we are the last 4 in and yet is currently projected as an 11 seed. That is stupid.

[archdog]

I really wish we can take 8 more shots than them to close out this game.

[R2Dawg]

That was not a foul. Got to keep your hand vertical DJ

No it was not, homer call.

[msstate7]

We in trouble. Can't miss these layups

[R2Dawg]

What is stupid, we are the last 4 in and yet is currently projected as an 11 seed. That is stupid.

Got to get all those mid majors and cinderella teams in. It ain't the best 68

[R2Dawg]

We in trouble. Can't miss these layups

Well we been in trouble all year. Play till the end.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Our tournament hopes will be determined on Saturday especially if aTm beats UT. Win the big home game and we should get in assuming we don’t lay an egg against USCe at home. This game is over unfortunately

[msstate7]

It's over boys. How was that on the shot?

[R2Dawg]

Matthews is a beast.

Horrible call on bloack

[archdog]

DJ Jeffries has to do something in this game.

[EdwardDrayton]

Cam Matthews will definitely be on my list of all-time favorites to wear the M&W. In any sport.

[R2Dawg]

Tolu missing more point blank shots than anyone.

[msstate7]

That dude just threw up a prayer

[R2Dawg]

Cam Matthews will definitely be on my list of all-time favorites to wear the M&W. In any sport.

He is all Dawg. I want a few more like him.

[LC Dawg]

We can't keep missing point blank shots.

[R2Dawg]

And there he is again. What a freak.

[archdog]

Cam Mathews pushing the issue. Nice.

[EdwardDrayton]

Missouri getting it done with their opportunities down low. We are not.

[RocketDawg]

Good to get Diarra out of the game.

[archdog]

We need to press here.

[R2Dawg]

We can still steal this game

[archdog]

We also need to get Jones in the game and tell him to spot up a 3 every offensive play.

[RocketDawg]

Our tournament hopes will be determined on Saturday especially if aTm beats UT. Win the big home game and we should get in assuming we don’t lay an egg against USCe at home. This game is over unfortunately

And they're winning right now. Tennessee and ATM have the same overall record, and ATM has a much better conference record. Yet Tenn is ranked 11 and ATM 25.

[R2Dawg]

Not a good shot out of TO

[msstate7]

Out of the timeouts tonight, it looks like I drew up the plays. Jans has been pathetic out timeouts

[msstate7]

Take jones out for good tonight

[msstate7]

What an awful decision by jones

[CJDAWG85]

Why do we think we are Golden State?

[msstate7]

That terrible decision may have cost us the tourney. That ball has to go to tolu or Mathews

[PGHBulldogBG]

And they're winning right now. Tennessee and ATM have the same overall record, and ATM has a much better conference record. Yet Tenn is ranked 11 and ATM 25.

Buzz is a much better coach than Barnes. His teams always improve as the year goes on. Buzz is just a bad recruiter which has held him back

[LC Dawg]

I guess Jones was in to shoot but not sure why.

[SteelCurtain74]

Gave it to Tolu and he scores. Next trip should we do the same thing, 17 no let's launch a 3 without even giving him a touch. 17 me.

[NCDawg]

Face the facts. We are not very good shooters of the basketball.

[archdog]

Come on dawgs. Let?s do this.

[RocketDawg]

They are all over Tolu.

[msstate7]

Make the layup tolu

[archdog]

Face the facts. We are not very good shooters of the basketball.

Jans needs to tell every single shooter to put more arc on the ball.

[R2Dawg]

Brown gets every call at home. He pushed off.

[RocketDawg]

We're not out of it yet.

[archdog]

Kobe Brown just shoved Mathews with an extended arm, no call.

[msstate7]

Crunch time and no Moore. What you doing, Jans?

[RocketDawg]

Now it's over.

[R2Dawg]

WTH Reed shot in lane covered? Seriously

[archdog]

Terrible possession. Weak ass shot attempt. Take it to someone?s body. Damn.

[msstate7]

Jans, that's who you wanted out there, and he shot it. Jans has been great, but he has messed up tonight

[RocketDawg]

Well, we can get the last shot. Win or tie or lose?

[R2Dawg]

Crunch time and no Moore. What you doing, Jans?

Yeah what up with that? Jans gonna lose my COY vote if

[msstate7]

Get reed or jones a shot, Jans. Not the guys who got us here

[archdog]

Shak Moore. Has to be due for a 3 here. Only player I trust to shoot one. He is due.

[msstate7]

Tolu hasn't finished all night, unfortunately. Good play, Jans

[msstate7]

Gonna be Kobe brown or that fat guard

[RocketDawg]

Did we try to shoot too soon? Too much time left.

[CaptainObvious]

Tolu HAS TO make those close in shots.

[msstate7]

Is Isaiah Mosley injured? Remember he's the guy that shunned us to go to mizzou

[msstate7]

Wow

[RocketDawg]

How'd he miss that?? Going to OT. New game now.

[msstate7]

I don't want us to go a possession without tolu touching it

[RocketDawg]

That should have given us the momentum.

[msstate7]

Maybe it is our year after that play.... a POY candidate missed a layup

[LC Dawg]

Not sure what's going on with Shak but seems like Jans has lost some trust in him. Reed made the defensive play at the end so I guess it paid off.

[CaptainObvious]

Moore drives into the trees anschiene it over too much.

[RocketDawg]

Finally made a 3. First in second half I think.

[msstate7]

Come on state

[RocketDawg]

Brutal game tonight.

[msstate7]

How can we not get tolu the ball? Part of the reason is our driving guard is on the bench.

[msstate7]

If Moore didn't give the gun to Brandon miller, I'm really confused

[RocketDawg]

Brown may be out of the game. Can't play when bleeding.

[RocketDawg]

Geez.

[msstate7]

Moore on the bench cost us this game. There better be a good reason

[RocketDawg]

Dang. What a way to lose.

[msstate7]

Our postseason chances took us a huge hit, and we lost with our best guard on the bench. Jans killed this game

[MoreCowbell]

Damn that hurts

[EdwardDrayton]

We needed it. They beat us. Not much else to say but that it's a very tough road now.

[msstate7]

Moore...
9 pts 3 reb

[PGHBulldogBG]

It comes down to Saturday if we can beat aTm. That game determines everything

[msugolf]

Moore got hurt on the last foul by their big guy. He was wearing a back brace most of the second half

[SteelCurtain74]

Another game where our bench was non existent. Davis takes too many wild ass shots.

[msstate7]

We needed it. They beat us. Not much else to say but that it's a very tough road now.

If moore isn't injured, we intentionally sabotaged our postseason hopes

[BulldogBear]

So, what was the whistle blown on our last shot about?

I heard it and have confirmed with others that heard it also.

[LC Dawg]

Well, ****. No room for error now. Gotta win the rest of them.

[Saltydog]

All in a day of the life of MSU fan.....

[CJDAWG85]

Comical way to lose

[msstate7]

So, what was the whistle blown on our last shot about?

I heard it and have confirmed with others that heard it also.

Look like they were saying no shot when the clock wasn't even at 0

[msstate7]

Moore got hurt on the last foul by their big guy. He was wearing a back brace most of the second half

I wondered, but he played the last offensive possession in regular time

[LC Dawg]

Comical way to lose?

Not really. Our baseball team is taking care of the comical losing.

[EdwardDrayton]

Well, ****. No room for error now. Gotta win the rest of them.

Yes, unfortunately think that is the case.

[EdwardDrayton]

Not really. Our baseball team is taking care of the comical losing.

Word

[msstate7]

If Kobe brown would've been on the court, carter and honor probably don't attempt either of those 3s

[msstate7]

aTm is red hot.
Vandy is red hot.
We have to beat both.
Don't see it

[PendingTransaction]

Worst guard play in the league. Not one can drive the ball and go get a basket. No to mention their shooting.

[EdwardDrayton]

Worst guard play in the league. Not one can drive the ball and go get a basket. No to mention their shooting.

Yes. The reason we have lost most of our games.

[archdog]

Worst guard play in the league. Not one can drive the ball and go get a basket. No to mention their shooting.

Yeah, but I do like this team. A lot more fun than watching Howland coach a final 4 team to middle of the road in the SeC. Imagine if Jan?s had Woodard and Co in 2019 and 2020 without Covid. We could have probably won the entire thing.

[EdwardDrayton]

aTm is red hot.
Vandy is red hot.
We have to beat both.
Don't see it

Yep. Same as usual. I want to believe. But ......

[BeardoMSU]

Yeah, but I do like this team. A lot more fun than watching Howland coach a final 4 team to middle of the road in the SeC. Imagine if Jan?s had Woodard and Co in 2019 and 2020 without Covid. We could have probably won the entire thing.

Please, I'm depressed enough after today***

[parabrave]

Reed has 13 shots and Cam has only 5?????? The SEC guys don't think that this loss hurts us.

[msstate7]

Reed has 13 shots and Cam has only 5?????? The SEC guys don't think that this loss hurts us.

I don't think this loss hurts us, but we need to win out now imo. We were in a position to afford a home loss to aTm or road loss to vandy. I don't think we are anymore

[Pancho]

NIT and win it

[EdwardDrayton]

NIT and win it

Maybe it's just me but have little interest in the NIT. I'd probably watch but not with the same enthusiasm. Kinda like Judge Rheinhold expecting Phoebe Cates to step out of the pool and it's actually Jodie Foster. Just wouldn't be the same.

[NCMSTFAN]

Worst guard play in the league. Not one can drive the ball and go get a basket. No to mention their shooting.

Agree, it is our weakness for sure. Our guard play been up and down all year and you will lose games with that type of play at the most important positions in College basketball

[NCMSTFAN]

Maybe it's just me but have little interest in the NIT. I'd probably watch but not with the same enthusiasm. Kinda like Judge Rheinhold expecting Phoebe Cates to step out of the pool and it's actually Jodie Foster. Just wouldn't be the same.

I agree, I'm tired of the NIT. Every year I tune into the tournament and watch what seems to be every College basketball team in the nation play in the big tournament except us. I really want to see us get in because to be honest, we will be one of those teams no one wants to face. I have faith in Jans coaching style in the tournament

[PGHBulldogBG]

It looks like the SEC guys were right and the loss did not really hurt us. NET is still the same at 43. Actually going to overtime helped because I think there is something in the formula with that. It is more important that we win the next 2 home games. Outside of TCU, we have not beat any top teams at home this year. Ironically, this is what will cause us to not make the tournament. Typically if you have 4 power 6 road wins along with 2 neutral court power 5 wins you normally make the tournament easily. Losing home games has been the downfall to this team
