We have a basketball game tonight.

We may be about to get run out of the gym.

[BayouDawg]

Just got out worked tonight. Disappointing effort

[Irondawg]

It's tough to lose when you shoot 65% from 3. Even unguarded that's a rare number to hit

[BayouDawg]

Woodard looks high

[gtowndawg]

Right when I feel like people are getting excited again we stall out and have to start over again. We need a big win against someone to engage people.

Radio is not impressed with our defensive rebounding, fundamentals or effort

[ZedFedder]

If you watched on TV, even late in the 2nd half they were smiling and laughing. Time for fun was far gone...

[Liverpooldawg]

We got beat by a better team. I hate to say that but it's the truth. Their work rate was way better and their ball movement was the same. It wasn't a fluke, no rat. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. We have a LOT of work to do.

Before some of y'all start, they ain't more talented, but they are a better team.

[PMDawg]

I'm so sick of caring about MSU sports

[msstate7]

This loss isn't a killer, but I'm pretty let down by this game. This team has a long way to go

[ZedFedder]

I think the huge layover was stupid, though. It’s basketball, it will happen. I just hope next game they have more fire. Look at Duke and Kentucky. Don’t give up on them!

Definitely. I was thinking the same thing. Like a week and a half. Most teams have played three games in that time.

[Irondawg]

Up until tonight our effort and fundamentals had been better than previous seasons. Hopefully this was just a hiccup

[R2Dawg]

I think the 11 day layoff really hurt us tonight. Also school finals is starting as well. The energy and focus was not there tonight. Also good hands and quick teams is our weakness right now till Nick gets back.

I'll real disappointed in the effort tonight. I thought we were beyond this, guess I was wrong.

[ZedFedder]

I think Howland said this team is a projected tourney team, too. Can’t play half way and beat that type of team. This is the type of game where I wish Howland would chew on their butts.

[parabrave]

Howland said that we need to be more physical down low and we weren't. Stats wise everything was even except for one. FTs they were 12-19 and we were 6-12. Neal said that one thing we needed to do was to drive to the basket to draw the fouls but didn't/

[msu15]

Like clockwork

[ShotgunDawg]

Like clockwork

Yup. Right when it looks like fans may get interested again, they lay an egg

Every time. You can almost bet the house

[Big4Dawg]

Howland said the long break was due to trying to get Spoon back for Nova

"Initially going into the season I thought that there was a good chance based on the information fed to me that Nick would be eligible after just missing five more games," said Howland. "So in order to have him ready to play in that Villanova game, we front-loaded the schedule and played four games prior to going to Myrtle Beach (Invitational) where prior we would play just three games. So that's why this break occurred."

Both coaches wayyyyy overthought the tutor gate suspensions
