MSU vs Ark Game Thread

[FLANGA]

Wonder what that does for the RPI. They were top 5, right?

Oh no, we suck again**


17 all the bastards that have refused to support this team.

 

[Shamoan]

Congrats to Howland and company. HUGE win. HUGE! Gotta keep winning

Edit: I think they were #4

If you had told me before the game that we were going to give up 47 second half points, I would have thought that meant a 20 point loss. Defense got away from us at stretches in the second half, but we hit shots when we had two including, of all things, back to back threes from the brothers Weatherspoon to keep us in it and ultimately win it. I'll take it all day long.

Gained 17 spots. We are back to #57 now. Win in Oxford, we'll be back fairly close to where we need to be.

 

[Philly Dawg]

We had a few breakdowns, but for the most part defended well in the second half. They just made shots anyway.

 

[Bulldogg31]

I thought after the Cincy game that our D would give us a chance is most games. Arky shot the lights out and still came up 20 short of their average.

We are a very, very good defensive team. That's gonna carry us a long way.

I was very impressed with our effort, if not always the execution, on D.

Impressed by rebounding most of the night.

Very excited for the potential of this team and especially Ado. He is so raw, but has a chance to develop into a force a la Big T McCowan.

Huge early SEC win against a quality opponent when we were far from our best. You can always bring it on D and it got them a win tonight.

Encouraging considering all the meat we left on the bone. That's a top 3/4 SEC team. If we can win a few road games against the better SEC teams, we may can bubble it. Really set ourselves back with that early schedule. Howland will not do that anymore going forward.

He knew we would be young still entering this season. The **** schedule may benefit us after all. Ado has improved and benefited the most from it, just an opinion. Also with Q coming off the surgery....we prob weren't ready for more than what we ended up handling. As for tonight, Ben's best win. He and the team needed this. Hell, I needed to see it.

Gutsy win against a good team.

 

[Dawgcap]

I love the team and the effort but we will never be that team that wows you! Streaky shooting, free throws. We play with heart but we will win ugly! It's gonna be a roller coaster of emotions but I intend to love the highs and understand the lows! They represent me, always striving to win! Will they? Maybe- maybe not but damn they fight to be better!

 

[Shamoan]

I'm just excited for the opportunity to build some momentum. The facts are after the last half decade, the team has to woo support back...they shouldn't have to do that, but it's our reality after all that bad basketball. Either way, I think we have a great crowd next game at the hump if we take care of ole miss and show up vs Florida. We need some home field advantage vs auburn

Tough 3-game stretch... need to get 1

Back to back road games sucks, but we should be full alert vs ole miss. If we are going to make the NCAA, we need to find a way to go 2-1. tall ask, but necessary if we want to be plus .500 in conference
