    Dawgs vs Rocky Top Tomorrow

    Big game tomorrow at home, although they're all big from here on out. Need a huge crowd. Despite their record this is a good Tennessee team. Played Kansas close the whole game at Phog Allen last week. They're really solid defensively.

    Yep, they're all big at this point. Because regardless of the result against Tennessee, the UK game becomes huge if we can win it. Then the schedule really softens after that, but that just means we really need to win most of those so they don't drop us down the NET rankings.

    Big game and everyone needs to get out and support these guys. We have some very good talent and they are fun to watch as they continue to improve as a team every game. Get a ticket and go!.... and if you have a ticket and cant go, do the right thing to support this team and get it in the hands of people who can go!

    Hail State!

    Sounds like you need to start a movement

    To add: As of today, Joe Lunardi has us as the first team out of the tournament, Dave Ommen of NBC Sports has us in a 1st 4 game in Dayton playing UVA, and Jerry Palm has us as an 11 playing Iowa.

    Tomorrow is huge and to the students possibly being hungover......go drink a screwdriver or a bloody mary and get rowdy. You'll be fine.

    If we keep playing like we have in the last 6, I think we'll end up about a 7 or 8 seed.

    Somebody in MSU media needs to get some crowd game video shots from late 90s and early 2000s out to twitter social media etc.... The Hump was the place to be on basketball game day. did not matter if you were a basketball junkie or not as a student. It was loud and fun. Someone needs to lead the charge to getting it back to that atmosphere. get a band of students who will paint up and get crazy and jump start the madness. Might have to show your a**.

    In my day, the saying was "I'm gonna have a hangover, but it ain't gonna be today!".

    It's Saturday for crying out loud...get up, get a little hair of the dawg, and get to the game!

    ESPN seems to have us as 70% chance to win if I'm understanding that right. They seem to be real good one night then real bad the next. For a tourney shot, looks like a must win, right?

    Every win is good for the resume.

    No single game is a must-win. But as WPDawg said, they're all good.

    UK, Arkansas, and Bama wouldn't hurt us too bad if we lost. The rest would sting.

    I would agree except for Bama. That might be a must win with it being at home. Splitting UK and Arky would help us as well.

    A home game we are favored to win at this juncture would sting too I would assume if we lose.

    Are you talking about Bama? We may or may not end up favored in that. If you're talking about Tennessee, then yes, they're included in 'the rest'.

    But nothing right now is an absolute must-win.

    Hump in those days was electric. Ray years was like a nuke bomb. It takes time to build back up; it is happening slowly. Also attendance seems to be down everywhere unless you are UK, Kansas or Duke. That said, I'll be there Sat.

    Correct, we can just lose the rest of our regular season games then go on a tear and cut down the nets at the SEC tournament.

    My thinking is if we lose tomorrow, it's NIT at best and there will be quite a few folks here agreeing.
