This crap is hard to watch!
I am always amazed at the number of coaches that make it to this level do not know how to attack a press...
Man we are not a blue blood!! This kind of coaching, playing comes from being Mississippi State. We need to accept this as our reality and move on.**smhQuote:

The way to keep AM out of that press is push after missed shots. We didn’t do that as well as we should have..
teams rarely make it to 70 against them .. I think LSU did..
Even Tenn only scored in the 60s
The first half was well played , the second half was not, and we missed a lot of easy shots at the rim ..
But it’s no excuses have to win that game, lots of basketball left let’s see how we bounce back
That?s obvious that it?s not a high pressure/TO producing press, but there were several times in the second half that we could have scored easy baskets if we would have picked our tempo up breaking it. We allowed their press to dictate the pace instead of forcing them to play transitional defense which in turn generates points and/or fouls.Quote:

I certainly don?t think we can fire him because he isn?t terrible, but it?s just the reality of where we are as a program. People have way too high expectations, although we shouldn?t lose games like this
Howland needs a new Offensive Coordinator!**
Maybe Leach can teach him the air raid, oh never mind.Quote:

I don't know how to do it and I'm not even a basketball coach.Quote:

Methinks 10 sec could have been called more than once. We helped them run their press.Quote:

You talking about basketball on, "hardwood"?Quote:

We never know who we are going to see night to night.Quote:
