[QUOTE=Saltydog;1404129]Yeah but he's a liability on the offensive end. Defenses will sag off of him and he damn sure can't hit free
.
8 points and 7 rebounds tonight. That's all we need, he is not a liability. If he gives us that we are fine...
Any word on when we might make up that Missouri game? I would rather just not play it because winning it won?t help us and losing it would be a disaster. I see Ole Miss is making up there game with UF in a couple weeks
You absolutely have to win these kinds of games in the conference at home if you want any shot at the dance. Especially when you have no great out of conference wins. Great job tonight.
Kermit vs Howland was 3-3 going into the season. Kermit won at home, Howland will likely do the same.Quote:

Shhhhhh. Don’t let facts trump the narrative... before too long some will blame CBH for baseball or football lossesQuote:

Good win! Kids played hard and were nasty on the offensive boards. Hope we can consistently play this way!
Yep. Take if 2 different halves on Offensive Boards. They got all the rebounds in the first. We got all the rebounds in the second. But more importantly, taking that 2-16 stat from 3, the team didn?t back down from getting in the paint. In seasons past, that 2-16 would have turned into 5-25. This team is beginning to understand where their bread is buttered.
Brooks 16 pts 10 reb
Welcome to the sec, mr brooks
Garcia 8 pts 7 reb
Hell of a week, kid
Molinar 24 pts 6 reb 4 assists
Sec POW
True, I thought the same thing. This team has a little moxey and toughness from multiple places and then the calm domination by Molinar. When you shortest guy Moore does that it just sends a message. I love Moore's game.Quote:

Molinar is so athletic and fun to watch! He had a great interview after the game, well spoken guy!
Mighty quiet thread for a REAL nice victory..
We need to go 2-2 these next 4.. Beat OM at home and get a road win..
Yeah I saw that, camera quickly got off him. That was funny.Quote:

Definitely need to go 2-2 but 3-1 would be amazing and would set us up to have a little cushion on the bubble. 3 prime Q1 opportunities. Play like we did yesterday and there?s no reason we can?t win all 4. Just have to punch back when the other team makes their run.
We dropped 1 spot in NET to 48th. Ark jumped 31 spots. Bama dropped 1 spot. We do have a Q1 and Q2 win now though
I couldnt watch the game last night but I just finished watching the replay. Great win and hopefully this can get some butts in the seats next Saturday.
Win 3 and we would be off the bubble, solidly in.Quote:

Beat Florida and Ole Miss this week, and all the sudden things get very interesting. Go 3-1 or 4-0 over the next 4 and the Hump will be sold out versus Soukerlina
3 Q1 win opportunities in the next 4 games.
Correct.. hell 2-2 we are solidly in.. that would a road win over a team that’s at worse a quad 2Quote:

On Lunardi's we are the last 4 byes on the bubble.

On this I'm not sure if it's up to date as of today but it's the composite that I follow. Has us as 11 as well but a lot aren't updated. And of those that are i'm not sure if 1/15 is EoD or BoD. Will check it tomorrow to see where we move.
We need probably 2 more wins on par with the Bama win and no more than 1 or 2 more WTF losses
They haven't updated yet. The win puts on the 9 line 10 at worst. We go 3-1 in the next 4 then we're 15-5 with at least 2 more Quad 1 wins. That would put us on the 6-7 line.Quote:

With our schedule we should be at worst 15-1 right now. We've had it very very easy. And Alabama was the best team we've played. You could chalk the Louisville loss up to injuries, but the Minnesota / CSU / OM games should have been wins and we lost to a team worse than us. No ifs ands buts. Kermit constantly brings his best against us and we don't bring our best. If we lose the Egg next year then Leach is going to have the same issue there. Regardless of sport, State fans view losing to OM as 4+ losses in weight. Doubly so when they are less talented than us. It kills fan momentum for an already tough sell basketball wise.
(I generally would rather watch my Pelicans more than watching State because the brand of basketball is such a slog and the effort that is displayed isn't a normal State team).
All that to say, a win like this, a win over OM, and a win over UK (the Florida / TT are gravy but ultimately irrelevant to fanbase perception comparatively) and after the UK game, the fanbase will be ALL IN. And it's doable. Top 25 talent. We could very well go 4-0. But win the two important ones and the fans will be in it.
Case in point, getting the kentucky monkey off of our back made the fan base energized last year through the NIT run. Howland has a golden opportunity to do so again. I personally think even just the kentucky win will be huge. But an OM loss would make the week preceding that game to be difficult. But looking at it, 9-10 wins locks us solidly in. Win against OM/UK and make the tourney and he's earned himself two more years.
The top one did update. Prior to the game yesterday we were in the next 4 out below minnesota. That's why I called that one out specifically, sorry for omitting that.Quote:

I stopped reading after the 3rd “punching” reference .Quote:
