Probably a Top 5 win for Howland at MSU. This season could have gone downhill after blowing UK.Quote:

How this win can be erased by a poor showing Saturday. We can beat vandy, and we have to
A win like this shows good team chemistry and leadership. Also as croom would say good character
Howland has said over and over he wants to play inside out. I think he's realized this team is all about Iverson and DJ. And hate to say it, but without J. Davis it gave more minutes to D. Smith and even Cam at the 4. I think that makes us a better team.
That?s something to be proud of
What a GREAT showing in the second half.
We shot 72% in the 2nd half. 90%FTs holy unbelievable,
Tolu wasn't as noticeable because he only had 7 shots to 16 and 14 for Molinar and Stewart but Tolu was a huge part of this win. 5-7 with 9 rebounds.
He was huge. Ado played well alsoQuote:

We should be undefeated in SEC play right now, but that is water under the bridge. I've said it a bunch of times even early in the season but I like the makeup of this team. Yes we will lose some because we are young and still learning but the hard working, toughness will be in this team every night. No ego's are on the team.. we have a bright future and can possibly make some noise this year
we shot 54 shots. Only 6 3PTs attempted. Neal said Howland has been working with Molinar and DJ to drive to the basket. Apparently they listened in the 2nd half.
If you can’t get behind and be ALL IN with THIS team and CBH.., then **** off you won’t ever be on board.
Lots of basketball to go, but currently...Quote:

We just need to keep rolling. Would be huge to win the next 2 going into the UF game
I'm with you. Stated before conference play that I was really enjoying watching this team play. Still have plenty to work on but they win, lose and have fun as a team. Patting each other instead of beating their own chestQuote:

What he said. Teams with little game experience together take time to gel. See our football team learning a new offense for reference.Quote:

Hate I missed the 2nd half. Glad they stopped dragging their feet and got to it.
This year can be - 1 SEC loss and people act like the season was shot. This team is a whole lot like the '94-'95 team. They took a bit early to find their footing, but I won't surprised at all if we go on a big run and make some noise in the SEC T and get to the NCAAs. It will set up a very big year next year. The biggest difference in '94-'95 and now is that this team is actually youngerQuote:

Look, I understand the sentiment but when you constantly see poor offensive coaching and lack of strategy and execution..... what are we supposed to do? Now as bad as the first half was, even I, a person who didn't miss a single home game the 4 years I was in starkville, was pissed at the product on the court.Quote:

WeWe are 8th In Scoring offense...after losing our 4 top scoresQuote:

4th in fg and 1st in 3pt % mean CBH runs the best type of offense to fit this team.. you may not like the style but it’s the most effective .
And I would guess first in offensive rebounding..
And this team plays hard on defense .. and rebounds as good or better than any team in the league
It’s basketball.. there will be bad halves and bad games..
so basically you fall into the
**** off... you will never be on board..
Say what you want about coaching, if we just make free throws at a 70% clip, we only have 1 loss on the season.
This team is fun to watch and has a chance to be a really good team. Most potential since probably 2012.
2 of our losses were without our 1st or 2nd best player... that rankings could go either way imoQuote:
