Basketball Game Thread aTm @ the Hump

[Lord McBuckethead]

It is cup check time fellas. Does MSU earn their way into the field today? Got to make shots and force aTm to take late shot clock shots to do it.

Make shots. Rebound. Make aTm uncomfortable in the half court. Let?s go.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn good play by Shak there. Take it to the rim fellas.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Up 4 when Reed checks in.

[RocketDawg]

The boys came to play today. And doing a great job so far.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Man if we play defense in the pick and roll, they would only have 3 points.

[parabrave]

Holy shi^ Batman shooting 80% from the field/ Please keep it up

[Lord McBuckethead]

The boys came to play today. And doing a great job so far.

Yes they are. Keep moving the ball fellas.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn good passing Tolu.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tolu got absolutely held on that play. No call.

[Lord McBuckethead]

DJ just got shoved out of bounds. No call. That is 3 so far.

[R2Dawg]

Why do refs let us get mugged at home? it seems like every game, yet they call ticky fouls on other end.

[Lord McBuckethead]

One thing I have noticed, we are actually cutting to the basket when the double team comes to Tolu. If we keep that up the double will get weaker and weaker.

[R2Dawg]

Taylor for TAMU is as hot any anyone.

[R2Dawg]

I tell you what, we are one physical team. You ain't scoring 80 on us.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well, we have stopped driving and cutting to the basket.

[R2Dawg]

Cam is a dominant player in so many ways.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn. We just missed 3-4 FT.

[RocketDawg]

Looks like Alabama's going to beat Arkansas after the Pigs leading most of the game.

[Quaoarsking]

Why didn't we hang on to Garcia? Was he determined to go, or did we not put together an NIL package for him?

I sure wish we still had him.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep. He is one of my fav all time. Dude just out hustles everyone. I actually want him to drive the ball more when he gets a rebound.

[R2Dawg]

DJ is killing us this game

[RocketDawg]

Shooting has gone cold. Plenty of opportunities tho.

[parabrave]

Dammit DJ quit with the 3s.

[R2Dawg]

We are settling for 3 now, not good.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. We suck at shooting again. Maybe by saying this we will start hitting shots again.

[Lord McBuckethead]

347 nationally in 3 pt shooting percentage?.. that sounds about right.

[parabrave]

Why didn't we hang on to Garcia? Was he determined to go, or did we not put together an NIL package for him?

I sure wish we still had him.

He was the MVP off the bench last year. He would just hustle his ass off.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I want Davis shooting 3s. No one else.

[R2Dawg]

We must ot take so many 3s.

[Lord McBuckethead]

He was the MVP off the bench last year. He would just hustle his ass off.

Looks like he still does.

[parabrave]

Well our 3pt has gone to shit.

[NCDawg]

We're not very good shooters but we play pretty good defense. Looks like we're hesitant to put up 3's even when we're open because they know they will probably miss.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Brandon Miller is playing like he is about to go to jail.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Look, I get it. I am sure the coaching staff is telling them to not jack threes, but when you are wide open?. They hesitate. Maybe we should just tell them to pull the trigger?

[parabrave]

Brandon Miller is playing like he is about to go to jail.

I doubt he goes the DA already said so. But he is playing like he is about to owe a family half his NBA contract.

[parabrave]

Look, I get it. I am sure the coaching staff is telling them to not jack threes, but when you are wide open?. They hesitate. Maybe we should just tell them to pull the trigger?

Jans has already on record telling them if they have the shot take it.

[LC Dawg]

This is the type of game that we win and also the type of game that we lose. It's who we are. Our defense has to keep us in the game and hopefully we hit some big shots towards the end.

[NCDawg]

Jans has already on record telling them if they have the shot take it.

Well it doesn't seem like they're listening to him if that's the case. They're passing up wide open 3's. Jeffery had a wide open 3, passes it up, and drives into an A&M player for a charge.

[Saltydog]

It is cup check time fellas. Does MSU earn their way into the field today? Got to make shots and force aTm to take late shot clock shots to do it.

Make shots. Rebound. Make aTm uncomfortable in the half court. Let?s go.

3 of our last 18 shots.......

[R2Dawg]

Unless we change what we are doing we ain't winning this game. Too many 3s.

[R2Dawg]

Most pathetic call ever

[LC Dawg]

As bad as we are at 3s and with the defense always sagging down low it seems we should be getting more of the long rebounds from our misses.

[mparkerfd20]

**** Taylor. He flops worse than LeBron.

[R2Dawg]

On back TAMU, no call

[R2Dawg]

Jacking 3s we lose.

[R2Dawg]

Bye, bye NCAAT. All of a sudden we playing like one of Howlands teams.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Looks like aTm has to start faking fouls and the refs are FN letting them do it.

[civildawg]

Just so bad offensively. Everything is so hard for us on that end of the court

[LC Dawg]

It's about to get away from us.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We have to take the ball to the rim and get clean looks at the rim. We need some back picks and get this done.

[msugolf]

Just so bad offensively. Everything is so hard for us on that end of the court

Because we have no movement or plan and no one wants to take over

[Lord McBuckethead]

Another empty position. Damn.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Because we have no movement or plan and no one wants to take over

Everyone hanging out front.
Mathews and Davis need to take this over.

[R2Dawg]

Refs won't let us win

[R2Dawg]

We bout to get beat baseball style in a route.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ballgame. We haven?t shown we can do it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Who is the tall dude freshman that name begins with M? We need him.

[R2Dawg]

Drive to the rack or dish for easy shot. That is what we must do.

[Lord McBuckethead]

ATm dives into Tolu, gets the bailout call.

[R2Dawg]

Who is the tall dude freshman that name begins with M? We need him.

Murphy ain't played in months

[R2Dawg]

TAMU gets to foul 3 times before they call one.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dribble the damn ball out of the corner. Somehow we held that ball for 9 seconds in the corner.

[Lord McBuckethead]

TAMU gets to foul 3 times before they call one.

They tried to fake another one against DJ there too.

[Saltydog]

Does anyone know the worst 3 pt. shooting team in history? Some of Ray's teams have to be up there but this team has got to be right up there with them.

[Lord McBuckethead]

DJ reminds me of a comedian actor.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Does anyone know the worst 3 pt. shooting team in history? Some of Ray's teams have to be up there but this team has got to be right up there with them.

Rays team had chicken.

[Lord McBuckethead]

The foul there should have been on the screen.

[R2Dawg]

Screener stuck his leg out, BS call

[Ranchdawg]

It makes me happy to see and hear the Hump alive again! It?s been awhile.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We have to hit free throws to end this.

[MoreCowbell]

Our defense is smothering right now I love it

[Lord McBuckethead]

DJ did not travel.

[MoreCowbell]

Rays team had chicken.

Chicken would be the 3rd/4th option on this team

He was good but he was all we had, unless you count Flat Top Freddy Thomas

Edited to add: forgot we had Gavin Ware too- he was a monster his senior year

[R2Dawg]

DJ is a momentum killer

[Lord McBuckethead]

DJ sucks at shooting.

[MoreCowbell]

Jeffries has to quit shooting just does not have it today

[Lord McBuckethead]

Chicken would be the 3rd/4th option on this team

He was good but he was all we had, unless you count Flat Top Freddy Thomas

I disagree. Chicken would force us to sit DJ and DJ is like 1-11 from 3 today.

[R2Dawg]

It makes me happy to see and hear the Hump alive again! It?s been awhile.

I agree. It is awesome. The Hump can be great.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Jeffries has to quit shooting just does not have it today

He needs to drive the ball every time, without traveling.

[RocketDawg]

Some dude keeps putting his hand up in front of the camera. Can't see the hoop.

[MoreCowbell]

I disagree. Chicken would force us to sit DJ and DJ is like 1-11 from 3 today.

DJ makes up for it plenty with his size/defense/athleticism/hustle/rebounding. He can not shoot for shit but he brings a lot to the table

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on fellas. Let?s cut to the basket when we get the ball on the block.

[RocketDawg]

Would be good to foul Garcia out. Looks like they're saving him for the end.

[R2Dawg]

I like Jones. He is young but he has a ton of potential.

[parabrave]

Big play by Jones.

[R2Dawg]

This game is ours for the taking. Finish

[MoreCowbell]

I have a man crush on Cam Matthews

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep. The students section are FN retards.

[RocketDawg]

I have a man crush on Cam Matthews

But I wish he'd made those FTs.

[MoreCowbell]

But I wish he'd made those FTs.

I know, right as I said that he misses both

[MoreCowbell]

Dude this Jones kid is special

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need a stop without a foul.

[RocketDawg]

Yep. The students section are FN retards.

Yep. They need to pay attention to the game instead of a fouled out player.

[RocketDawg]

Looking good now with momentum. Still a lot of time though.

[MoreCowbell]

This white kid for A&M is about to hit 5 3s watch

[R2Dawg]

What a comeback down 9. We got back to who we are and quit jacking 3s. We are a tough out when we stay true to who we are.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good defense and a better finish by DJ.

[R2Dawg]

Dude this Jones kid is special

He has a great basketball body. Get him in the gym in offseason he might be special.

[Lord McBuckethead]

What a comeback down 9. We got back to who we are and quit jacking 3s. We are a tough out when we stay true to who we are.

Agreed.

[RocketDawg]

This white kid for A&M is about to hit 5 3s watch

Yeah probably.

[Lord McBuckethead]

And, we get the foul called there. Finally.

[RocketDawg]

DJ almost had an air ball on that FT.

[R2Dawg]

Bail out call there. Refs gonna be more ticky tack down stretch

[BuckyIsAB****]

We need to punish number 4 when we foul him.

[RocketDawg]

Good, good.

[msstate7]

I'm watching this game at the beau, and it seems like 200 fouls have been called. I have no audio, and I don't have a really good view (small tv). Are there really this many fouls?

[Ranchdawg]

This white kid for A&M is about to hit 5 3s watch

I totally agree. Get in his grill

[RocketDawg]

Where would we be without Tolu?

[R2Dawg]

DJ strikes again

[RocketDawg]

I'm watching this game at the beau, and it seems like 200 fouls have been called. I have no audio, and I don't have a really good view (small tv). Are there really this many fouls?

It's a pretty physical game, so I'd say this many and more uncalled.

[SailingDawg]

I'm watching this game at the beau, and it seems like 200 fouls have been called. I have no audio, and I don't have a really good view (small tv). Are there really this many fouls?

aTM 18
MSU 16

[R2Dawg]

Refs just gotta give TAMU a chance at this game. Ridiculous

[RocketDawg]

Shak out on fouls.

[R2Dawg]

Moore had his hands straight up and Taylor was running into him.

[RocketDawg]

Now we need a couple of makeup fouls.

[R2Dawg]

You are not going to knock ball out of Cam's hands.

[Lord McBuckethead]

aTm is literally just running into our players and getting foul calls.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Taylor is complete trash. Constantly just drawing fouls.

[RocketDawg]

I don't see how that was a foul on Jones.

[parabrave]

Why take Jones out.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn Cam. A simple pass and that is two points.

[R2Dawg]

We go stupid and now chance to lose game. 11 min and no FG, refs kept TAMU in game

[R2Dawg]

aTm is literally just running into our players and getting foul calls.

Yep ridiculous

[BuckyIsAB****]

Again punish number 4 take him out of the game and this isnt close

[Lord McBuckethead]

Guys. Protect the ball and get a clean look with 5 seconds left on the clock.

[RocketDawg]

Why take Jones out.

Looked like he was shaken up on the body slam.

[State82]

We go stupid and now chance to lose game. 11 min and no FG, refs kept TAMU in game

Complete stupidity

[R2Dawg]

This is where we miss Shaq who is a good FT shooter

[SailingDawg]

This last minute is going to take twenty.

[parabrave]

Good job Cam/

[R2Dawg]

How is that a foul? Complete BS by refs

[R2Dawg]

Refs have taken over the game.

[RocketDawg]

No turnovers now.

[R2Dawg]

Take it to the goal, they can't foul

[RocketDawg]

Geez.

[R2Dawg]

That should be ballgame.

[RocketDawg]

That should be ballgame.

Should. Now we have it.

[R2Dawg]

Boom. Win one more and I think we in but lets just win last 2 to make sure.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well done fellas.

[RocketDawg]

Our guys played a really good game today.

[MoreCowbell]

I am so damn proud of this team and Jans. Pay that man and pony up some NIL to keep as much of this team together as possible

[parabrave]

One of the biggest wins in at least 16 years,

[mparkerfd20]

Hell of a win

[Lord McBuckethead]

One of the biggest wins in at least 16 years,

Agreed. We finally won a big one at home.

[BeardoMSU]

[MoreCowbell]

I'm watching this game at the beau, and it seems like 200 fouls have been called. I have no audio, and I don't have a really good view (small tv). Are there really this many fouls?

I am on the way to the Beau now

[BuckyIsAB****]

Jan?s is better than Stans

[MoreCowbell]

Jan?s is better than Stans

No question

[R2Dawg]

Jans has rejuvenated Bulldog basketball. It has been a while but we got something going.

[NCMSTFAN]

Huge Quad 1 win!!

[KOdawg1]

Massive win. This team is fun to watch.

[msstate7]

I am on the way to the Beau now

Awesome. I'm on my way out. My wife is drunk haha

[chef dixon]

We should be a lock with one more win

[SailingDawg]

Should win both of our last games.

[MoreCowbell]

Awesome. I'm on my way out. My wife is drunk haha

Ha good luck with that

[BeardoMSU]

Awesome. I'm on my way out. My wife is drunk haha

God be with you***

[LC Dawg]

Awesome awesome win! Damn, that was fun!

[Bothrops]

Yuge win!! How is A&M only #25 with their records?

[NCMSTFAN]

Should win both of our last games.

@Vandy will be tough they are playing good. We should beat SC at home but can't sleep on them either they almost just beat Bama. I'd love to get them both though

[LC Dawg]

@Vandy will be tough they are playing good. We should beat SC at home but can't sleep on them either they almost just beat Bama. I'd love to get them both though

Vandy losing to LSU made me feel a little better about that game.

[msstate7]

God be with you***

Dude, I'm on cloud 9 after this win... nothing pulling me down

[msudawg1200]

Vandy losing to LSU made me feel a little better about that game.

Vandy at home vs Vandy on the road is like the difference between Purdue and Ole Miss. Well, maybe not to that extreme, but you get my drift.

[Tater]

Always good to beat the Ags.

Didn't realize how much of Free Throw Merchants they were.

That style of basketball is neck and neck for worst to watch with the howland offense.

[LC Dawg]

Vandy at home vs Vandy on the road is like the difference between Purdue and Ole Miss. Well, maybe not to that extreme, but you get my drift.

That's why I said a little better but losing to LSU anywhere is pretty ****ing bad.

[msudawg1200]

That's why I said a little better but losing to LSU anywhere is pretty ****ing bad.

You speak the truth

[Bothrops]

Yuge win!! How is A&M only #25 with their records?

[KOdawg1]

Yuge win!! How is A&M only #25 with their records?

They had some really bad non-conference losses

[StarkVegasSteve]

Yuge win!! How is A&M only #25 with their records?

A couple of Q4 losses and a WEAK non conference.

[NCMSTFAN]

I have to give Shawn Jones Jr credit, he had some really good plays for us in this game with Shak on the bench. We needed those plays

[parabrave]

I have to give Shawn Jones Jr credit, he had some really good plays for us in this game with Shak on the bench. We needed those plays

His play last few games have been has opened up more playing time for him. Which is good now that he gives us a decent guard coming off the bench/ We will need this for upcoming tourneys.
