Wait, wasn't Jans, Hubbard, RJ Johnson doing SEC media day yesterday? Or they just met the team afterwords?

AI overview for what it's worth:


That 72-72 tie was actually from a private "secret" scrimmage between Mississippi State and UAB (the University of Alabama at Birmingham), rather than Kennesaw State. Because NCAA rules allow teams to play closed-door scrimmages against other Division I programs before the season begins, Mississippi State traveled to Birmingham to face UAB. It is common practice for coaches to set customized operational rules for these secret scrimmages—such as playing specific situational periods or resetting the clock—which frequently results in intentional tie endings where no overtime is played.

I think it was at UAB, but it was Kennesaw State. KSU fans are all about it on X this morning,

You can't put a lot of stock into these preseason games/scrimmages, win or lose. State played a very good Houston team close last season and we saw how that turned out.
No, and you can't always put a lot of stock on a team because of their name.

Kennesaw State is a good team. They were in the Tourney last year and gave Gonzaga all they wanted.

Well, the season is over before it begins! We can't beat a nobody in a neutral site scrimmage. What does our AD have to say about this???

So people are taking the result out of context on here? What a shocking development….**
Well, we are. But when the expectations are so low (were picked 15th in the league) and we tied a team that was 10-10 it’s not exactly a promising sign. But as others have said, don’t read too much into it.

I truly have no expectations for men’s basketball at all. I don’t know of any real reason to expect better than last year, and last year was a Train Wreck.

Still, this doesn’t exactly fill me with warm feelings.

Yep, not good especially considering we supposedly took Kennesaw's best player from last year. Oh well, my expectations in basketball are very low and will even be lower once we no longer have Hubbard. Its a crime how little supporting cast Jans has been able to put around Hubbard especially last season. What a waste.
