Anyone else notice..

No Malik Newman the last 3+ minutes of that game?

He was in late, I think. I can't stand IJ Ready, that ball-hoggin mofo.

leg injury? Looked like it was bothering him

He was in there after sword fouled out. Malik had 14 points tonight. He played fine.

This team is getting better and they are playing harder for howland than they ever did for Ray but I swear I'd bench ready. I hate the way he plays. He never looked to pass the ball in the last minute of the game.

Falling behind by 20 points in Rupp Arena is nothing strange to Mississippi State basketball. Coming back from that deficit to make a legitimate run at a win is pretty rare though. I realize this isn't a vintage Kentucky team, but Howland's imprint on this team started to show tonight.

He really struggled defensively at times. I would imagine that's why he was bench in crunch time.

Malik needs to get better on the defensive end of the floor. In HS he didn't play much defense either.

Malik's a freshman & can taught to play d, wtf is Ready's excuse?

, wtf is Ready's excuse?

Too much time spent reading the love he gets here.

I don't care what Ready's numbers are, if someone like him is getting significant minutes for a P5 team, that team is not going to be very good. To that point, we are halfway through the season and MSU doesn't have one win over a team in the top 200 of the Pomeroy rankings. That's hard to do.
