Is everyone satisfied with this "moral" victory?

[Fighting Irish.sixpack]

Uc Upstart and Mcneese state..... So my answer is no.

 

[57stratdawg]

Suck a dick. We played well.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

No, but TAMU won so I guess you are happy.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Yes.

Guys played great, we fell victim to an all time RAT performance. Also, you can kindly 17 off.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

If we play over the remaining 12 games like we have in the last 4, we'll finish around .500 in the SEC. That would make this really similar to a Stansbury season -- bad non-conference losses, but decent in the SEC.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Like in Major League

they are starting to come together.

Give'm the heater Ricky!



Better crowd...better effort.

 

[ReadyReady]

GT17O.

 

[eckie1]

They beat the spread, you 17 idiot....

Uc Upstart and Mcneese state..... So my answer is no.

How is this a moral victory? At home?

 

[Seinfeld]

Winning 16 games would be the equivalent of a Stansbury season? One of his worst ones, I guess

That said, if we somehow do actually win 7 of these last 12, Ray will have more than earned a fourth year

 

[ConkyMSU]

17 no. It sucks that the light skinned guy couldn't miss, but it sure as 17 wasn't a moral victory.

 

[ConkyMSU]

In starkville. Let's drink.

 

[MSUDC11]

Georgia is an NCAA tourney team and we almost beat them in spite of a guy dropping 37 on us. Difference in the game was Fred getting fouled on a 3 and missing all three shots and then us giving up a huge offensive rebound with less than 30 seconds left.

We've improved big time in recent weeks. Probably will lose a few more games with a tough stretch upcoming, but we will beat somebody pretty good if we keep playing this well.

I think we have a real chance in Oxford on Wednesday if we keep this up.

 

[121Josey]

What moral victory? They were looking ahead to TSUN.

 

[121Josey]

Delete.

 

[Beretta.sixpack]

but we still lost. and accountability is creeping....

Ray aint gonna make it.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

touney seeding already took place? in game management was poor, or the thought was we have no one to lock down on frazier. we improved our lousy shooting, but even then it caught us in the end.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Suck a dick.

just dont do it in front of a starkville alderman

Little perspective ...

If we play over the remaining 12 games like we have in the last 4, we'll finish around .500 in the SEC. That would make this really similar to a Stansbury season -- bad non-conference losses, but decent in the SEC.

I really want to see Ray succeed and I would be inclined to give Ray a 4th year "IF" he could get to .500 in the SEC. The problem is ... we would have to win 7 of remaining 12 games. I am hoping for the best but simple current and historical stats show that it's going to be an 'uphill' battle.

* We have played with greater intensity and have won 2 of the last 4 BUT the 2 wins were against teams equal to or below us in the standings (Aub & Vandy) (see below).
* We have 8 of remaining 12 games against teams currently ahead of us in the standings [1 Game against #1 (Ky) 4 Games against #2 (LSU, @ UT, @ Ark, Ark) 3 Games against #7 (@ OM, Bama, OM)
* Three of four games we have remaining with the teams currently below us in the standings are AWAY games. (@ Mo, @ USC, @ Vandy, Mo)* Under Ray, we have not done well on the road in the SEC; we've won 2 of 20 games (10%) against both good and bad SEC teams; 6 of the 12 remaining games are on the road.

Summary

- For this team to get to .500 in the SEC, it has to 'learn' to win on the road, especially against the 3 teams below State in the Standings (@ Mo, @ USC, @ Vandy); without those wins, it will be almost impossible to get 7 more wins due to the simple fact that 6 of the 12 are on the road.

We may be looking at 5-6 SEC wins again this year, considering the way the games fall home and away. But we can do a little better if Fred and I.J. continue to hit some threes.
