I love that we get a chance to go against the #2 team in the nation in a scrimmage, good learning lessons before the season starts

I am afraid this team might take a step back this year. That lineup does not inspire confidence.

I think Jans went too far in the other direction after being displeased with the D last year. A lot riding on Epps returning to his 2024 form. I think we are 1 scorer short.

You very well may be right smootness. We definitely dont look good right now looking at the stats. 13 minutes left in the 1st and we haven't made a shot from the field.. only 2 points, both free throws

I am impressed that you guys are going to punish yourself with this just 24 hours after football's disaster

I dont expect to go to Houston and win but dang we arent even competitive right now

And they have 11, so the D is holding up. Either way, not worried about a preseason game vs maybe the best defensive team in the country. This is a great job scheduling... we need to see someone elite to show our guys how far they have to go

It's still over 10 mins to go in first half, and we playing...Warren, Davis-Fleming, marcura, Ali, and Hubbard.

Lol its an exhibition so it doesn't hurt as bad. Jans has literally player almost everyone right now so we know its not a true barometer of what the team will look like. Id still like to be competitive though

Oh I definitely agree. I just want to see some sort of Offensive production

I'm sure Houston is a better team than us but neither team is playing to win this game. They are both playing to learn about their teams. Hopefully Jans learns something about his guys that helps us down the road.
I'm looking forward to our season but the SEC is going to be brutal.

15 to 9 Houston with about 7 minutes left in the 1st. Jans is playing several guys and so is Sampson so its hard to tell how good or bad we are but this is definitely a defensive type game. Both teams are defensive minded

Hubbard 0-6 is not ideal
10-26-2025, 07:51 PM
NCMSTFAN

Hubbard is 0-7 with about 2 minutes left. 20 to 13

Its obviously going to take us time to gel offensively. That should be expected
10-26-2025, 07:56 PM
msstate7

Please tell me Houston is really the 2nd best team in the country. Hubbard is 1-8 shooting, and we down 6
10-26-2025, 07:58 PM

24-18. Halftime.... yes it sucks we cant get going on offense but holding the #2 team in the country to 24 1st half points is a good thing.

He's streaky. You know that. Keep the bitching to the football coach. This is an exhibition for goodness sake

Am I coming across as bitching? I'm thrilled we're in the game vs a great team when our best player is struggling. That seems like a good thing to me

I dont know if I consider Josh Hubbard a streaky player. He has typically been pretty consistent

Hubbard and the new guys getting used to playing with each other is obviously a huge deal. I'm not too worried about Josh.

What?? He's as streaky as they come. Hot one game. Cold the next. Take the good w the bad. Not complaining. But he is super streaky.

McGhee has 7 FTs vs a great def team. This excites me... he must can penetrate

Nah I dont see that. Hubbard was pretty consistent last season

Didn't even realize macura was on the team? Is he expected to contribute this season?

Well, he?s already called for Jans to be fired in the past. Stupid is as Stupid does.

And once again, I was happy with this performance and even more so at down 3
