I'm looking live at the basketball game between the Tigers of Jackson State University and the Bulldogs of Mississippi State University. I will update as I can. Which will be during timeouts since I'll be too busy being crazy.

Gavin Ware having trouble right now. Nothing is going in for the Dawgs and JSU is getting all of the rebounds.
Shots are beginning to fall for State. Rock with a made layout and Fred makes 1/2 free throws. Jackson State showing a lot of grit so far. 8-3 JSU with 15:30 left.
Just got told by a Father to sit down in the student section so that his son could see. If you're going to sit in the student section then don't tell us to sit down so that your 6 year old son can see.
How is the crowd?
I'm watching on HailState. Sloppy sloppy game right now. We're playing great D though
What a joke. Tell the bastard to move to one of the other 5,000 empty seats. I hate when our fans do that trashQuote:

We are a scrappy bunch though. And hell on defense
Not watching the game, but I agree with this overall. Scrappy, serious about defense, and crazy sloppy is the most succinct way to describe our team. Too often in transition, the player bringing the ball up just bulls his way to the basket and throws up some crap at the rim. We need to learn when to back off and when to pass. That, and just improving our ability to put the ball in the hole.Quote:

The refs are not calling a good game in my opinion. Sloppy game by MSU right now. Rebounds are definitely a problem right now. Tied at 18 with 4:50 to go
22-20 JSU and they are at the line for 2 free throws.
Questionable call on the shot clock violation. Refs viewing the film to see. Now they are motioning that it was a violation. 24-20 JSU with 2:32 left
Sounds like a good game for Malik to see**Quote:

28-23 JSU at half.
This team sucks
It's halftime here at the Hump. JSU leading 28-23. Low post presence is almost none. We gave up an easy layup to end the half where the PG had an open route through the lane. I expect adjustments to be a bigger post presence on defense and we need to feed the ball into the paint on offense.
Why the hell do we have one concession stand open?
Possibly the worst half of basketball I've ever watched at the Hump..
Malik isn't here due to "practice obligations"Quote:

I'm starting to think Dawg61 is right. Maybe we need to hire a shooting coach. Whoever is coaching our guys on their shooting right now, is not having much of an effect. We are a horrible shooting team. Not sure what the percentage ended up for the half, but with 3 minutes left we were under 30% from the field...like 28 or 29%. That's just gross.
Haha unfortunately I agree. Gross is the word that sticks out to me.Quote:

Well if he's looking for a place he can start right away...**Quote:

We will be fortunate to win today with the combination of how terrible we're playing, and them being a decent team that is wanting to prove something. Not the performance I was hoping for with Malik in the house. Not that it mattersQuote:

Was hoping our team would have improved more since last year but I'm not feeling it.
Food for thought- When Wayne Brent was hired this year he dismissed all but three players from last years squad. So you could say he inherited a "dumpster fire". He already has a win at Air Force, and is playing us very well at the Hump.
Latest over on SPS is that Newman didn't make it in today per David Murray.
Nobles is killing Bloodman off the dribble. I mean he can take it to the hole uncontested whenever he wants.
That being said...we're up 47-46 with under 9 to play. Back to back unforced turnovers, a travel and a step out of bounds.
51-51 5:27 left
Ware is injured. Not sure how bad but he had to come out.
Sword just swatted Nobles' shit! Great play
53-53 with 3:22 to play. timeout
Nobles played at UPig right?
Clutch defense and score by sword, free throw by Thomas...:56 left and we're up. Hope we can hang on
Yes. He's good.Quote:
