Reed, dJ, stevens, and tolu recognized as seniors. McNair wasn't. Davis wasn't

You gotta think they'll put together an NIL package for Tolu and maybe DJ to see if they can get them to come back.

[PGHBulldogBG]

This was easy money taking Carolina and the points. I think we win but definitely not by 16. Probably more like 5 or 6

[msstate7]

Our defense better step up

[CaptainObvious]

South Carolina-scoring at Will in the paint.

[Dawgology]

Yikes

[RocketDawg]

South Carolina shooting 110% so far.

[RLM38654]

Cocks are hitting everting right now

[LC Dawg]

I figure our defense is not as intense as normal since it's SC but we're having fun on offense so far. Jans will get on their ass and make them play defense soon.

[RocketDawg]

Cocks are hitting everting right now

We're shooting well but they just can't miss. Until just now. Maybe it's a trend.

[CaptainObvious]

This team will be one and done in the SEC and one and done in the NCAA.

[parabrave]

Our defense better step up

Hopefully they are not taking cues from the Baseball team/

[SailingDawg]

Slim crowd. Cmon people! (I live six hours away)

Hopefully not. Law of averages have to come in play you would think

[LC Dawg]

We're not playing our best but I don't think it's a big deal. We just came off two tough games and we're playing a bad team. I'll bet we pull away from them in the 2nd half. Jans will probably have some comments regarding our defense in the locker room at halftime.

[Saltydog]

Reed, dJ, stevens, and tolu recognized as seniors. McNair wasn't. Davis wasn't

Defense is shit so far tonight. We're allowing a lot of easy scores. Gotta pick up the intensity.

[parabrave]

S Jones is stepping it up again.

[RocketDawg]

Wonder if they reviewed the out of bounds during the TO.

[LC Dawg]

That was phenomenal from Tolu to Matthews!

[parabrave]

Seems they woke up! Davis may omly have made one FG but he has 5 assists. Cam has 4,.

[R2Dawg]

Our D has not been as good in first half but our O moving the ball has been as sharp as anyone in the SEC I've watched all year. Our D will step in 2nd half. As a last 4 in, I wouldn't want to play us. We have been clicking for about 4-5 weeks now.

Just finish it tonight.

[parabrave]

DJ quit with the 3s/

[parabrave]

Dam/

[RLM38654]

Letting the Cocks hanging around. Don't want to sweat this one out.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We need to wake the hell up. WE HAVE to have the next two.

[R2Dawg]

We are about to piss away NCAAT. Horrible D effort. Is this a TAMU hangover? No FG the entire half.

[CaptainObvious]

Scored 42 points in first 20 minutes. Have scored 4 points in first 8 minutes of second half. Pathetic basketball.

[msstate7]

Win or lose, this is a horrible performance

[parabrave]

We need to wake the hell up. WE HAVE to have the next two.

Yep they are sleepwalking the 2nd half.

[RLM38654]

Just lackadaisical in the 2nd half. this one is going down to the hire. Gave the Cocks confidence

[LC Dawg]

Cam with the backwards steal was pretty cool.

[Tater]

Love a good Free throw fest.

Officials have taken over this second half I tell ya.

[parabrave]

well this is going to be a sweating last 5 mins.

[LC Dawg]

How was that not goaltending?

[parabrave]

3 mins to tourny time.

[Tater]

How was that not goaltending?

I just wanna be in the ncaa tourney so we don't get birmingham refs again.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Matthews is just a dawg. He is the kind of player we havent had in 16 years

[parabrave]

Would like to see Jones back in for the last mins.

[Cowbell]

Matthews is just a dawg. He is the kind of player we havent had in 16 years

Yeah I can't wait to see how good he is going to be before he leaves

[LC Dawg]

Shak Moore wins games!

[BuckyIsAB****]

If Moore can do that in March we have a chance to win a few in the dance

[Tater]

Once we had all eyes away from baseball these guys woke up lol

[LC Dawg]

Haven't played great but got win number 20. Let's go to Vandy and secure our dance card.

[Tater]

Look away bruce dickinson

[BuckyIsAB****]

We have to be in now right

[PGHBulldogBG]

We have to be in now right

Win Saturday and it’s a lock

[StarkVegasSteve]

We have to be in now right

No. Like we've said since Saturday we have to win Saturday. If you don't you'll have to make a run til at least Saturday in the SEC tourney.

[parabrave]

Big win for the team/

[msudawg1200]

No. Like we've said since Saturday we have to win Saturday. If you don't you'll have to make a run til at least Saturday in the SEC tourney.

If we lose to Vandy we don't necessarily have to get to Saturday in the SECT, but we might according how things with other teams work out

[chef dixon]

I know you're concerned about bid stealers, but still think that's big time hedging. We are in better shape than that. We don't go from a lock with a win to needing to win multiple games in the conference tournament. It's never worked like that

[PGHBulldogBG]

Saturday will be the biggest game for state hoops in this over 13 years. This will determine if we make the tourney barring a big Friday win in the SEC tournament

[chef dixon]

And also our resume has never been this good when considered on the "bubble" over the last 15 years

We're not a lock.....we're in the Last 4 In or we're the first team that's safe from the play in by most projections. That's not a lock. And winning tonight does nothing for us. Our NET will likely drop due to how bad USCe's NET is. It's not about wins anymore. West Virginia is proving that. Our resume is good, but it's not head and shoulders above anyone else on the bubble.

We just have to win Saturday. Do that and the bubble talk stops. Don’t win and we are in trouble. Many on this board thought I was crazy saying that, but it’s the truth

Correct. Win and there's no way you're left out. That'd be 4 Q1 wins and 5 Q2 wins for the year. Now is it good enough to avoid the play in?? That's left to be seen.

If we beat Vanderbilt we are absolutely a lock. 21-10 with a NET likely in the 30s and 5 wins over tournament locks. I don't care what the projections say, the committee will look at that fondly. It would be comfortably ahead of a lot of the current bubble.

Which is exactly what I said. But we have to beat Vandy, which was the original point.
