One more piece left and we should find out if Howland is legit or not as an X and Os guy. The talent will be here.

I will exercise my right to remain silent on that, but he has done a great job getting Brooks and Jeffries. We will see how next year plays out and hopefully we can get back to the tournament

What was your prediction, 0 of the 2?

I'm wondering if Fountain can be our sixth man off the bench?

I saw someone post on another thread the possibility of adding another transfer. For someone not exactly connected, who else are we looking at?

Looking for a PG. Oregon transfer leads the way.

I am ready for some basketball - Mississippi State Style. We have something to look forward to next winter.

Our roster is loaded but the rest the SEC is gonna be stacked as well. Will be a great year of basketball

SEC may be the deepest league next year.
That will probably translate to lots of tourney teams and success and maybe just maybe State will get all these parts together to make a deep post season run. It does look promising.

Any thoughts on utilizing Cameron Matthews as a point guard? Remember Ohio State's Coach Thad Matta successfully moving 6-7 Evan Turner from the wing to point guard. Was mentioned that Turner had never played point guard and was prone to making mistakes as a ball handler. He ended up becoming one of the best point guards to come through their program.

No not at all. DJ Jeffries could be that type of player.

Good job by the Miss State family stepping it up to get things done as well as Howland and the staff. We should be a good basketball team next year

Saw where it is DePaul and MSU for Oregon PG transfer Jalen Terry. The only problem is that DePaul's new HC is a former Oregon assistant.

Not sure there is any mystery about Howland as an X and O guy. We pretty much know the following:
1. Howland's teams will play a hardnosed fundamental man-to-man defense and will not, under almost any circumstance, play zone defense.
2. Howland's teams will operate offensively pretty effectively against a man-to-man defense but tend to struggle against any match up or zone type defense (probably because we never practice against it).
3. Howland's teams will often struggle against a pressing team but will only press themselves due to dire circumstances normally at the end of a game.
Howland is about the most old-school, straight forward, no frills, vanilla coach I have ever seen when it comes to Xs and Os. We are almost never going to beat an opponent because of some innovative in-game coaching move we make. Our adjustments are almost always limited to responding to things the opponent has decided to do against us. Doesn't mean we can't win with this approach but I personally wish we would do something every now and then that catches an opponent offguard that they didn't prepare for. That just really doesn't happen under Howland.

We didn’t have problems against zone defenses when we had Peters and Spoon. Our problem against zone the last 2 seasons has been our lack of 3 point shooting.
