Texas game thread

[Bothrops]

Texas is gonna be one of those schools that we rarely beat in any of the major sports.

Another suck ass loss for this great basketball team. Don't even talk to me about this team in the same breath with about 10 other great teams the past 30 years.

We haven't had 10 great teams in 30 years.

This loss is unacceptable, but I said about 2 months ago our goal should be 1 win in the tourney. We just aren't talented enough to get to the sweet 16.

[EdwardDrayton]

Who we are is an 8/9 seed unfortunately

Unfortunately yes.

Those two missed FTs were just incomprehensible.

They were but the ball needs to be in 12’s hands there. 32 seconds and down by 1, you let your guy go make a play. Obviously inexcusable misses from Kugel but 12 has to have the ball there for one shot.

Also the loose ball foul call on Hubbard was utter bullshit. The guy did not have possession of the ball

Team just doesnt have enough true talent. It?s all pieced together to be competitive, but it kills when the role players are ghosts every other game.

Officiating affected this game greatly down stretch - you must know have watched or don't know basketball. I said on top of our sucking too but refs made real bad calls against us when it mattered.

They made the two calls of the game. First off overturning the out of bounds, which there was not enough evidence to overturn and then the bullshit loose ball foul on Hubbard when the oaf did not have possession of the ball. Those 3 ass clowns made sure they decided the game tonight.

Agree but we should never be in a position at home against Texas that one or two things that don't fall our way end up dooming us.

Find a way to get nwoko, Murphy, kugel, and Josh back. Go all in on a pg and a shooter

Kugel and Melendez gave you enough tonight. Hubbard just could never get a shot off. And now Murphy has the Robbie Faulk curse. He said Murphy was our best player and he has disappeared for stretches in the last two games.

Agree. That is a bad basketball team who we let hang around too long. We should have pressed them from the jump tonight. Their press break is us under Howland level bad.

[MoreCowbell]

lol. We really were a very good, top 10 team 2 months ago. I have no clue what happened but this year reflects really poorly on Jans, from a pure coaching ability standpoint. He took a team that had real potential and whatever buttons he pushed this year were the wrong ones.

I get it, yes we had a great year for MSU Mens BBall for our history and anytime you go to tourney it is a successful year and from the outside yeah cool. But for those of us that follow closely, we know Jans took lemons and made lemonade but the lemonade tasted like sh it

We may quite possibly be the most confusing team in the SEC.

We are tied with South Carolina for the fewest home wins yet only Auburn and Alabama have more road wins than us.

No more home games left!!!!

[msugolf]

I?m just ready for the season to be over tbh. Go hit the portal. Bring in some bruisers down low, a bunch of shooters and a pg. and make sure they arent scared of winning

I would not have said that until after the game tonight. It is just draining watching us constantly get careered on. Tonight it is Mark. Against Bama it is Youngblood. Against Kentucky it is Robinson. Against Mizzou it was Grill. Saturday it will probably be Brazile or Wagner. Youngblood is literally 22-65 against everyone else and 14-24 against us.

We need to bring in some damn defensive stoppers. Cam Matthews is about as good at offense as he is defense these days and that says something. Jones, Harris, and Kugel may be our best defenders at this point.

This was my last melt over MBK this season. I'm sitting Saturday out, hoping for 1 in Nashville, and 1 in tourney. Maybe we get that done, but if not, oh well.

What's the chances (I know it's way too early) of keeping these guys?

Josh
Kugel
Murphy
Nwoko
Jones (love him off the bench)
Warren (I think he has potential)
