5 vs 8 Game Thread

[57stratdawg]

MSU +6.5.
O/U 157.

I don’t see MSU winning an ‘over’ type game. Hard to see us winning with both teams flirting with 80.

Hubbard’s over / under is 14.5.

 

[57stratdawg]

Tolu with the braids

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why do we start Davis?

Why do we start Davis?

Gotta think we’re close to “needing a spark” and inserting Hubbard

 

[The Fatboy]

He will probably be in the floor after this break.

 

[57stratdawg]

13-0 UK run.

We play very soft basketball at times.

 

[57stratdawg]

Back to back 3’s from Jones!

 

[Baddog11]

Tolu with the braids

Tolu still with 0 meaningful wins his entire career

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

There's so much more fun to watch these games with the audio turned off well at least turned down. We're all I can hear is the whistle whenever they call us for a foul or the ball out of bounds for Kentucky. I mean, we are playing Kentucky, you know, have to beat all seven players, five ball players, and two referees.

 

[Lettuce]

Two ticky tack fouls on us…all while Kentucky climbs the backs of our rebounders.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Kentucky got so much fluff money for bball, they can pull a random from the crowd and dish 10k.

 

[57stratdawg]

BTW, sounds like Keyshawn Murphy has left the team or has been suspended indefinitely. I don’t think he’s been in Starkville the last week or two. Guessing he’s not available again tonight.

What a stupid take. With the work these guys put in, every win is meanigful.

 

[Baddog11]

Still getting outworked on both of ends of the court.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

We are staying within distance, but if we don't flip the switch, we will be toast.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

Letting them dictate the tempo so far. Our defense has not bothered them even a little.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

So far in this half, how many trips did they get to the free-throw line versus us? Has Kentucky gotten a shooting file yet? Damn they play some perfect basketball don't they...

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

Is that kind of like what other fans think when their team is playing in the Hump? They are having to play 5 on 8?
It ain't the damn refs! It is the talent differential. And always will be when State plays the Top Teams in Basketball or Football. It is never going to be advantage MSU. Ever!

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We finally got shooting . That's what happens when you take the ball inside instead of shooting up threes all the time.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Well let's not forget it's a road game. Don't forget how hard it is to win on the road in SEC basketball. I wonder what our SEC record will be after this game ??

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Tolu look like Tarzan , play like Jane

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Bad tolu at the line in full effect.

 

[Maroon13]

I don't know how Shaq and a college basketball player can be that bad at shooting free throws.

Tolu shoots FTs like he would throw darts, aiming. Just softly shoot, let the ball roll off your fingers and hit front iron or swish. Isn't that damn hard

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Tolu look like Tarzan , play like Jane

But...but...its only his fifth game back

 

[Seinfeld]

This team has been playing like it knows it’s gonna lose since the tip. TOs, poor rebounding, and missed FTs isn’t a great combo either

This roster still just doesn’t have the talent it needs to consistently win.

Hold your horses there, junior. There is a ways to go to 1-8.

 

[ETK99]

So bad

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I don't know how Shaw and a college basketball player can be that bad at shooting free throws.

Shaquille O'Neal was 57% in college. Tolu is 61%.

I thought Shaq was even worse, but it is where it is.

We used to have one sport, baseball, where we had more talent and felt confident we'd beat every other team we played because that's what often happened.

 

[RockyDog]

The dentist needs an offensive coordinator badly. If he can’t adapt then sayonara. With coaches like Pearl, Musselman, Oates, etc this **** is gonna get run out of the gym most years. Those guys know how to light up a scoreboard.

 

[Cow College]

Ton of dribbling no passing. Both Jones three we passed the ball from one side of the court to the other. Played like we were losing from tip. I agree with that

 

[8dog]

This defense. Someone watch the bucket theh score at the 8:19 mark. What was the plan there? Surely it’s not Tolu playing 12 feet under the ball screen.

 

[chuckster.sixpack]

Lee says baseball is a club sport.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

So far, this is a one sided cripple fight.

 

[8dog]

Given up 90 ppg in our last 80 minutes

 

[BulldogBlitz]

At least Jans isn't blowing a gasket. He looks like he expected to get run out by half and is not letting this molestation get him.

 

[Podgy]

Lee says baseball is a club sport.

Well that's obvious. Just look at the stadiums in the SEC and the ticket prices***

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Because nobody else tried at Baseball. With the resources we have put in Baseball the last 40 years compared to everyone else,we should have 10 National Championships

Read. After this game. Not after the ninth game

 

[Maroon13]

UK looks to have far superior athletes and better shooters. I guess they just slept walked through the aTm game.
