Bad news first - we haven't been able to beat the good teams, obviously.

Good news - we're still in decent shape. We have to win our next 3 OOC games though, and then we need to pull for all the "Of note" teams.

The schedule is set up for a tourney team to make a little run here. We need to be 6-1 over our next 7 to stay in good shape Bc these last 2 close losses have taken away wiggle room. Step up, Dawgs

Looking IFFY, I watched for the first time yesterday, we had some good moments but the last say 5 or 6 minutes was awful. We are missing that "go to guy", I do thik T. Smith may have been the difference in us losing but again we let that game slip away as we have on one loss or two. I think we were a little better on defense and CSU is a decent team, but I do think coaching cost us yesterday. Howland is a nice guy, and our team plays like his personality, too nice, gotta get tougher and more aggressive.

We have a small chance to go dancing, let's up we get hot. Btw, I'm a little disappointed in seeing the transfers, they are ok, but I was hoping for more dominant players, didn't see it.

Meh. Basketball at MSU is on life support and fading fast. I really dont know what can be done. Putting lipstick on The Hump isnt the answer.

[parabrave]

Wow we are way too high/

[OLJWales]

How any STATE fans could care about these stats at this juncture boggles my mind. Our players remind me of the folks working at the driver's license office.

Hey Josey did you go to the game?

Hey Josey did you go to the game?

Unfortunately I did not. Would have done so if life hadn't got in the way.

[MoreCowbell]

How the hell are we 55? We have not beaten anyone with a pulse and lost every game against anyone with one

I was wondering what was their body language in the final 5 mins? Was the team playing as a team with a plan or just 5 guys out there wondering what the hell do I do now look. Cause on the radio thats what we sounded like.

Richmond and morehead st are decent wins. Could end up good wins.

Well first off, 55 is not good. That's a miss on the tournament. We'd probably barely make the NIT with that, depending on other factors. Also, we really need some more games for the rankings to better take shape.

All 3 of our losses were to solid teams and we beat the rest of them. We don't have a good resume, but there isn't anything terrible on our resume either.
UC Irvine is 1 spot ahead of us. They are 5-2. 2 of those teams aren't even division 1 opponents though. We don't have anything like that on our resume. That's basically the same as being 3-2.

It may not be good, but it certainly isn't a hole at this point

[PGHBulldogBG]

There is just no margin for error at this point. We need to win 6 or the next 7 to get back in the picture. Arky won?t be a win because we match up bad, but no excuse not to win the other 6 with Ga State, Furman, Winthrop, Missouri, Ole Miss and UGA

[OLJWales]

Crootin plus transfer plus preseason hype equals Buzz Kill.

[msstate7]

We jump up to #45 after win last night

[trob115]

It really sucks that we don't have a win over Minnesota or Colo St. We would easily be in the 30's of the NET rankings. I feel like we will need to be 11-7 in conference to make the tourney.

We go 11-7 and we will be a 4-5 seed

9-9 likely gets us in

If we keep giving half ass effort for long stretches a game and go 5-10 minute stretches with zero scoring, we will not get to 9-9. Was thinking that last night watching. Play like last night and we are looking at 7-11 or 6-12.

Play to the ability with some urgency and 12-6 is easily attainable.

For sure. Need more consistent guard play and to keep being physical attacking the basket. This is a dominate the paint team. And thats what we have to do every night
