NW vs MSU

[Thick]

Hubbard keeping us in it by himself.

[Thick]

27-29 NW at the half. Hubbard with 17 pts

[State82]

Hell of a comeback after a horrid start.

[HoopsDawg]

Interesting lineup played well: Shak, Hubb, Shawn J, DJ, Cam.

[LC Dawg]

We were very careless with the ball early. NW has totally taken Jimmy Bell out of the game. I'm damn glad Hubbard decided to come to State.
Nice job getting back in the game after the terrible start but I hope we play better in the 2nd half.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hubbard keeping us in it by himself.

He absolutely did. We looked gassed. Northwestern is well coached, very active on defense and more talented at a couple of positions. We need to pick up our intensity and hopefully our depth will wear them down enough.

We had nine turnovers at the six minute mark. Oof.

[HoopsDawg]

Great half by DJ. Only took 1 shot. Grabbed a bunch of boards. 0 turnovers. And great Defense. That's exactly how he needs to play.

[Thick]

I just don?t understand why DJ doesn?t go to the rack every time. He?s just so chickenshit at times!

Hubbard very good chance he wins SEC freshman of the year. He is a star in the making.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Hubbard very good chance he wins SEC freshman of the year. He is a star in the making.

The best way to defend him is to put a bigger guard on him. Length gives him problems. But he’s so quick, and he has great range. He uses screens well also. He’s extremely confident in his shot. He’s impressive.

And 3 assists/ Thats a great stat for him/

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Hubbard is showing his skills the last 3 trips. Goodness.

[R2Dawg]

Killer instinct - this team has one.

[RockyDog]

Is Taylor off the team?

[LC Dawg]

Credit to Bell for sticking with his game and providing some needed points in this run.

[LC Dawg]

Is Taylor off the team?

Seems to be odd man out right now. Other guys have played better.

[chef dixon]

Dawgs

[EdwardDrayton]

Our depth is going to carry us far. And Josh Hubbard gonna be a special player fellas. This is a good basketball team.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Is Taylor off the team?

He’s dressed out and on the bench.

[RockyDog]

Grateful for Fort helping us with a big win against ASU but this needs to be the Davis/Shak/Hubbard show. Fort and Taylor can be bench shooters but gonna be hard to get them meaningful minutes going forward.

[HoopsDawg]

Shak Moore with great D today. Very unselfish game from Shak.

[HoopsDawg]

Hubbard looking like Chris Jackson today.

[R2Dawg]

Any doubters still out there?

We gotta a really good team. Hubbard probably makes straight up all SEC. Dude is a stud.

Yep.

Great comparison and I agree.

[EdwardDrayton]

A very good win against a well coached Northwestern team.

Solid, solid win today.

Lockdown D in the 2nd half.

[EdwardDrayton]

Don't look now folks but we gonna be RANKED!!

[R2Dawg]

When Tolu comes back we 2 of top 7-8 players in SEC.

[R2Dawg]

Don't look now folks but we gonna be RANKED!!

As we should be.

[EdwardDrayton]

As we should be.

Yep. Very deservedly so. No question.

[PGHBulldogBG]

It had been 25 years and I was a kid then since I had a basketball coach I believed in. I wanted Jans here for several years before we hired him. Now Selmon needs to do whatever he can to keep him here

[BeardoMSU]

Don't look now folks but we gonna be RANKED!!

[chef dixon]

How sick has Ole Miss got to be?

[HoopsDawg]

And 3 assists/ Thats a great stat for him/

Truly one of his best games at State. Jans must have talked to him about his role bc he didn't play well yesterday.

[LC Dawg]

Very nice win. Coach Jans has these guys convinced that playing good defense will keep them in games. SEC coaches can't enjoy watching our big man being shut down and we still come back from 12 down to win by 9.

[NCMSTFAN]

Grateful for Fort helping us with a big win against ASU but this needs to be the Davis/Shak/Hubbard show. Fort and Taylor can be bench shooters but gonna be hard to get them meaningful minutes going forward.

Yea those three are really good. Fort didn't have a good game but I still think he belongs in the rotation even if it's only 10 minutes a game he's shown he can hit the 3. I don't expect him to be hot like he was to start the season every game but he will keep the defense honest. Taylor is unfortunately completely out of the rotation. I had high hopes for him but he struggled early and has never gained his confidence, he also struggles on defense some too

[EdwardDrayton]

Sure is nice to have something to feel good about again. It's been awhile!!!

[parabrave]

What was the final score. Game cast stopped.

66-57 I think

[Joebob]

One of our biggest hurdles going forward may be finding playing time for all the guys that deserve to play after Tolu and Keyshawn get back. Right now we seem to have good chemistry with the guys that are playing. Hopefully that will be the case after everyone gets healthy. Somehow I gotta believe Jans and Hubbard will find a way to make it all work though. I guess it's a good problem to have.

[Dawgface]

Good looking bunch. Going to make some serious noise.

[parabrave]

Dam Hubbard 27 pts.

In the preconference, Murphy will probably take Chol?s minutes. Once Tolu comes back I could see Bell shifting into the role McNair played while Murphy would give DJ or Cam a breather.

[Bothrops]

We've got us a basketball team guys! Hubbard is the best player to come out of Miss in years. Jans is just incredible with what he's done with this program.

[parabrave]

They shut down Bell and Davis and Hubbard take the game. DJ with 10 rebounds and 50% shooting.

[smootness]

Dam Hubbard 27 pts.

29

[HoopsDawg]

The 8 would be:

Backcourt: Hubbard, Shak, Rams
Front court: Tolu, Cam, Bell
Wing: DJ, Jones

That's our best 8. Those guys will get the bulk of minutes.

Then you can spot play Fort and maybe Keshawn.

Taylor is odd man out unfortunately for him. Not sure what's up with Scott.

Everyone wondering why DJ plays so much should understand now. His defense is elite.

[HoopsDawg]

Yeah, but something was different today. Didn't take the air out of the ball and didn't jack up bad shots.

The lineup of

Shak
Hubbard
DJ
Jones
Cam

won us the game. The level of athleticism frustrated the hell out of Northwestern. That was an impressive 5-6 minute stretch with them on the floor.

[Commercecomet24]

Love Jans and love the way he has the team
playing! Now if we can just find the football equivalent of Jans!

[State82]

The turnaround Jans pulled off in the first half was pure coaching.

[parabrave]

Yeah, but something was different today. Didn't take the air out of the ball and didn't jack up bad shots.

Yep 1st time this year he didn't try 10 3pts/ I wish he would drive the baseline more/ He would be getting foulded about every time.

Our depth is what is going to win the close games in the final 5 mins/

We are definitely seeing that early on.

[parabrave]

Can MSU change the annual game in Jackson to the MS Coast Coliseum?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Can MSU change the annual game in Jackson to the MS Coast Coliseum?

There is no annual game in Jackson. Annual would mean we play it every year, which we do not. We do not play in Jackson this year.

[chef dixon]

Tolu is great, but at the end of the day this is a guard driven sport. That's why this team is so strong already.

Scott is dealing with a minor injury. He should be back next week. Murphy might play in 2 weeks

[msstate7]

Washington st up 10 in 2nd half vs rhode island

[RocketDawg]

Watched Dak's game and recorded our BB - just finished watching. It's the first game I've seen this season.

Why were we and Northwestern the consolation game? Both teams were undefeated going in.

Hubbard needs to be a starter if today's performance is an indication of what he does. Seems like a nice, humble kid as well.

Really cold start and I thought we were going to be trampled, but that didn't happen. Great game in the end.

We were the championship game

My Mistake. Then Bi annual/ We have Baseball here on the coast and we sell out the stadium. We would do the same for roundball here also.

[RocketDawg]

We were the championship game

My Dish guide had it listed as the consolation game. It just didn't seem right, and wasn't.

[Todd4State]

There is no annual game in Jackson. Annual would mean we play it every year, which we do not. We do not play in Jackson this year.

I wish this team was playing in Jackson, Biloxi, and Tupelo this year. They're a good team and they're fun to watch.

Yep. We would sell out the Coast Coliseum easy.
