So

Ado shut down Silva all game long and Holman had his best half of the year. Who are we bitching about now?

Some posters need to wait until after the game in order to avoid embarrassing themselves

I get the reverse jinx and all that, but the ones that are sincere look like a bunch of whack jobs when they post what they do so early in a game....

 

[hatfieldms]

Did you see the first ten minutes!*****

 

[tenureplan]

I just found out they play 40...go figure

 

[hatfieldms]

Very few are trying the reverse jinx and are really flipping out ten minutes in

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I still haven’t recovered from the LSU game.

Ado has steadily improved all season. I wonder just how far he can go next year.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Once you accept Ado for what he is and what he isn't, he really does fill a nice role on the team. And he brings it every night. He's never gonna be Hakeem, but his game along with Perry's and the Holman we saw tonight all compliment each other well and make for a very solid unit at the 4-5.

Next year we may have better post play than we’ve had in a decade. Just need an elite guard and we could be even better than we are this year. Maybe Nick will be that guy.

To be fair the first ten minutes were brutal to watch. But I just yelled at my tv like a man and didn't piss and moan on SPS.

 

[AlCoDog]

Yes, they were as bad a 10 minutes of basketball as you could ever see. Glad they turned it around. When we play with effort on defense and the boards, we can play with anyone in the country.

I was there last night and I agree the start was

Rough. They extended their defense and we just had no answer. Thankfully Peters played well in the second half as did the whole team. We got extremely physical in the second half and beat them at their own game.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

I think we are recruiting a 4* Juco point guard that was an LSU signee. I read where Georgetown is also after him.

So does that mean the youngest Spoon is going to Ole Miss?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

He doesn’t even have an offer from State.

He is unranked on 247, doesn't exist on rivals or espn, but holds an offer from Gtown apparently.

Odd

This is why I keep thinking next season might be really big. We knew that Woodard and Perry were probably going to be good and then they actually started contributing THIS season. The amount of improvement Ado has made cannot be overstated because he is becoming that true center that defends strong and rebounds, not to mention he is only a Soph.

We have been so post player poor I cannot remember having all 3-5 positions potentially filled in a long, long time. We really need to keep Nick, Peters and Carter for next season and then try to find another good guard and maybe post guy for our bench.

People keep saying our basketball team is frustrating.......well this board, especially game threads, are frustrating.

Honestly the threads during the game are pointless and unreadable. It's like watching a game with a room full of 8 year olds who do not actually understand sports.

we are frustrating to watch at times. Just like we are fun as hell to watch at times. If the threads are frustratng then don’t read them. Every message board has bitching and gripes. That’s what they are made for. Just like you are bitching and griping with this post. What gives you a right to ***** and gripe but others can’t? So thanks for adding another pointless post.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

It's been that way on this board from the beginning. People flip out during the game and then after the game if State wins its utter silence.

I’ve learned that it is our style to coast through the first half and then go gang busters in the second. It works pretty well. Not too many deficits have been too great to overcome. Hell we almost came back against Kentucky.

 

[Dawgzilla]

We have a number of fans who seem to enjoy being angry at our sports teams. Maybe it is PTSD from years of fandom, or maybe the whole reason they are State fans is because they like being angry and frustrated. Whatever the reason, they are ready to pounce at the first signs of disappointment. And this applies to all of our sports, not just basketball.

I couldn't watch the game last night. I checked this board at halftime and I knew we were losing just based on the posts. Then I checked the board again two hours later, and I figured we must have won, because they weren't many new posts on the board.

 

[HamSammich]

People are forgetting that we are redshirting DJ Stewart this year. He’ll step right in next year.

The lack of understanding basketball's most basic concepts eludes a good few on this board.
Then there is a whole other group that can't recognize basic strategy such as sliding over from the weakside on D, who should and should follow shots, and well it's actually been claimed multiple times that the team doesnt run an offense.
