MBB: SEC Basketball Opener Game Thread..

[57stratdawg]

Let’s see it Howland.

MSU -5. O/U 141.5

 

[57stratdawg]

Good start on defense. Ark with a shot clock violation on their first possession.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Nice D to start. Like the look for the extra pass on the possession before the break. Robinson's 3 was taken from a where most folks need oxygen

 

[Mr. Cook]

Got a lid on the basket so far for State (3-11 FG)

 

[RiceDawg]

Seeing Musselman for the first time in person. He is a wee little man.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We have athletes, just not basketball players. There is no Darryl Wilson or Shane Power on this team.

 

[DirtyDog]

Why can’t our big men attempt to dunk the ball with bad in ton every shot within 2 feet. We miss these easy shots by just laying the ball up. They need to channel their inner Erik Dampier. Any time he got the ball inside then you could expect a dunk or foul shots.

 

[047Dog]

Howland/Brooks bigs miss more shots at point blank range than any I’ve ever seen. Good God

 

[57stratdawg]

Ugly game offensively so far. Molinar needs to get going for State.

 

[Mr. Cook]

^^^^ Gotta finish stronger in the paint

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

College basketball is painful to watch.

What is the point of not filling the lower bowl when the students aren't here with the upper deck. Upper deck is more full than the bottom bowl.

 

[Mr. Cook]

5-18 from the field

Cohen is not going to reward the peasants with quality seating.

 

[57stratdawg]

Ark got called for a goaltending. I thought that was a clean block, but I’ll take it.

I THINK it hit the backboard first, Strat.

 

[57stratdawg]

Moore with a nice 3. Great pass from Matthews.

 

[Jddrew1142]

Exactly how it feels. I’ve been coming to the Christmas break games for years and have always sat wherever i wanted. Guess i can mark this one off the list as well.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Our intensity on defense has been great so far.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Like our energy on both sides of the court. Offensively, need to get into a rhythm shooting and finishing shots in the paint

 

[Crazy Cotton]

5 point lead with 2 minutes - could have really pushed it hard but airball, turnover, etc. Let them back in

 

[Mr. Cook]

On the plus side, only 4 TOs and no one in seriousl foul trouble (Molinar with 2). I'll take the lead into the half considering the sluggish shooting start

 

[RiceDawg]

Ark got called for a goaltending. I thought that was a clean block, but I’ll take it.

Musselman was not a fan

 

[DoomSlayer]

I thought that was a good block as well.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Gotta keep getting to the basket. Good start to the 2nd half.

 

[57stratdawg]

Jeffries missed a big 3 at 46-41. That was a good look.

 

[57stratdawg]

And then he gets blocked down low and can’t get a shot off.

Go grab a seat, bud.

 

[Mr. Cook]

What a great no-look pass by Garcia

 

[57stratdawg]

It was. Davis couldn’t finish though. We’ve left a lot of plays on the court tonight like that.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Strong put-backs and paint shots are a struggle today *shrug*

 

[Mr. Cook]

Garcia quietly elevates the team when he is on the floor

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

That was a nice fast break by Garcia.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Great play there with the double screen to get Moore open for 3.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Is moore our best shooter?

 

[Mr. Cook]

Good hands on D, and the shooting is heating up....Need to stay focused and close strong

 

[onewoof]

Is moore our best shooter?

Yes then Garcia

 

[57stratdawg]

State up 16 with 4 minutes to go. Been a good showing for this team. This team still has plenty things to work on. This team has a high ceiling.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Solid game with <3 mins to go. Good energy all game and ascending quality of play from start to this point. Very encouraging

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

This was a big time W for sure.

I know it doesn’t matter, wish arky had a number next to their name.

 

[AlCoDog]

We are much better with Tolu.
