This team deserves to lose

[Dawgtruc]

Can't inbound the ball. Can't get the ball up the court against the trap. Stupid turnovers

 

[Lettucexxxx]

You took the ML too?

It was +170.

 

[preacher_dawg]

Huh? This is a great team. Oh, you are talking about basketball. Carry on.

 

[jdbulldog]

This team is playing their tails off.

Can't inbound the ball. Can't get the ball up the court against the trap. Stupid turnovers

 

[mstateglfr]

Deserves to lose? Come on.
They clearly aren't perfect, but saying they deserve to lose is harsh.

 

[Antonio Brown's Foot]

How can I say this nicely?

Kma

 

[coach66]

We just make too many errors, potential

Is there but we got to get mentally tougher and our coaching needs to get better, press has changed the game and DJ is so loose with the ball sometimes.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

Without Cam, we would be down 8

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Just the typical miserable cucks that like to post during games.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

We had a basketball game today?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Oh look State won. Props to Cam Matthews for one hell of a defensive effort today.

 

[hatfieldms]

Sorry you didn’t get your wish. Dipshit

 

[FlotownDawg]

Why do some of you support Mississippi State? You obviously dislike it and it makes you miserable. Perhaps you should take a break.

 

[DAWG61]

You checked out in January yet still have posted in every basketball thread since. Are you aware how annoying you are?

 

[Lettucexxxx]

That’s the team I want to see next year. Mathews is a freak. Needs to be playing WR

St Louis was a tournament team. I’ll count that as a 1st round NCAA win for Howland.

DJ took over when it was obvious that Molinar could not.

Hope Ado stays. He’s the difference in us dancing next year. Need his depth....and we need to get another offensive big to compliment Smith.

If Ben can keep all this together, we will compete in the SEC next year.

We need an offensive big to replace Ado.

Glad State won the basketball game. Surprised the Dawgs won. But glad they won. Congrats on making the final 8 of the First 16 out of the Big Boys tourney. You have made it farther than Kentucky and Duke this year.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

Agreed. I don’t particularly want him starting next year but he has shown improvement each of his 9 years on the team.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

I wanna say I was impressed today. No they are not perfect but they did play their asses off. And I really hope Ado comes back. He contributes more than he gets credit for

They just love being miserable.

We forget Sometimes that there are a lot of other teams sitting at home on their asses while we're getting a play post season.

If you want this group of youngsters to get better and take you to the dance next year you're getting some extra playing time against other schools and other venues is exactly what they need

 

[DAWG61]

Lot easier for Ado to finally learn to stop dropping the ball than to find a replacement even half as good as him defensively. I want Ado back and starting.

 

[LawDawg97]

Don’t be such a downer. They’re still playing and playing hard.

If you watched that 5-min stretch when we could not do a damn thing, you understand my frustration

Who won?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Welcome to basketball. Every team plays like **** in stretches.

 

[mstateglfr]

If you watched that 5-min stretch when we could not do a damn thing, you understand my frustration

The game is 40min long. Did you post anything when the team was playing great forn5min stretches?

Pretty sure half our "fans" want us to lose. Glad they miserable tonight

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

I’m so glad State won. You don’t deserve sports.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

If you don’t expect more than 6 points, 6 rebounds from your starting center, agree to disagree.

 

[hatfieldms]

See that’s the problem. You are expecting perfection for 40 minutes a game. Nobody does that.

 

[anonymous.sixpack]

Can't inbound the ball. Can't get the ball up the court against the trap. Stupid turnovers

Sometimes you don’t get what you deserve.
So good win.

 

[wdawg44]

I would bet Ado could finish his master's if he stays next year. That has to be a factor.

 

[yjnkdawg]

Yeah, basketball games last for only 5 minutes don't they and not 40 minutes?*** I imagine that you are the only one who understands your frustration. Hopefully that's the case anyway. I'm glad our team didn't listen to your dumb comment, " this team deserves to lose." This must be your first basketball game that you have ever watched? Bama even had problems in the first half with Iona (15th seed). So I guess Bama deserved to lose too?

 

[yjnkdawg]

Seems to be and I hope they are too, 7.

George Brooks may be the recruiter.... but his coaching of post players leaves a lot to be desired.... In five years he couldn’t coach up Ado on just 3-4 offensive moves? Ado’s stats actually got worse each year.

T. Smith is a much better player than at WKU. Who gets credit for that? I'm not taking up for brooks bc I think all of the assistants (and howland for that matter) are open to criticism at times

Preach on brother. If I were Cohen, the only way howland gets another year is if Brooks and McCray aren’t in the plans.

I'm not defending gold Brooks, but your argument is weak.

- Ado's offensive stats haven't gotten worse, his offense has changed to accommodate the team. He scores fewer points but he also takes fewer shots. Also, his FT% has increased significantly and his ability to make FTs has directly helped us lage in games this season. Thats improvement.
Ado has absolutely added moves to his offense. He puts the ball on the floor from the elbow now. Early I the season it led to like 10 charges I a row, but it has since led to some spin moves close to the basket that result in points at the basket or the line. His turn arpund 7' shots are completely different now too.

- Recent post players with moves- Holman, Perry, Tolu, and Ware.
Those are just post players that are in the Howland era. Brooks has been at MSU well before that and the list could continue.
If he is to be blamed for not turning one specific player into a double digit scorer, should he get credit for the ones that turned into high output scorers?

Easy to spot fans that don’t know **** from shinola.. most folks could see how many shots Ado effected down low. Most folks could see the screens Ado set. Sure He is not an offensive factor, but the 2 players that shut down The Billikens were Cam and Ado. Wonder why the talking Head couldn’t pronounce Ado.

Any 6’11 body is going to effect shots down low, stop with that remedial excuse.
