and no game thread. THAT about sums up this board.
So basketball is rolling tonight….
- Thread starter L4Dawg
- Start date
This team is much more athletic than last years
Not even close either. I’m excited for this year
They appear to have a couple more guys that can score too.
Plus we have a ton of guys who can score. Last year we had guys who couldn’t score at an old Women’s college
Jans has said he’s the best defender he’s ever coached. That’s some pretty high praise.
For sure. I’m surprised Jeffries and cam aren’t in the nba off defense alone
The NBA doesn’t like defense at all. This isn’t the 90s
Be careful, I heard the pen click
Damn throw it down King Grace
More folks in this thread than at the game.....
I’m always hopeful to start a season, but I caution you to consider the competition in these early games. It’s truly terrible.
Better parking at my house. And I don’t get kicked out for smacking the concession stand worker’s bottom.
We were all at the game. It was a good board meeting.
I think you can tell an awful lot regardless of the competition. But how they respond to adversity we won’t know until the competition ramps up.
This is a CBK issue not a state one. Too much inventory and the season is ridiculously long.
Only 44 points given up tonight.
NW State scored 18 points in the second half.
NW State scored 18 points in the second half.
Kind of see a correlation between the two styles for the first two games.
Game 1 score 106 points but play no defense and give up 88.
Game 2 score only 82 points but only gave up only 44.
Game 2 shot poorly but win by 38. Defense really gets into the Legs if you play it very hard like the second half tonight where they only scored 18 points. Example: state shot 6-14 from 3 in the first half and only 2-14 in the second half. Tired legs mean forcing shots and not getting set. They will get better at shooting when the conditioning kicks in and the playing time is settled into about 9 players getting 20 plus minutes.

He played mostly bench players the second half with various lineups.
82 points in college basketball is a good amount of points for a team.
Three point shooting is pretty awful still.
Like I said earlier in the thread this team is much more athletic especially in the front court.
Still remains to be seen good (or bad) they are but I think this group is better than last years team but sample size is small and we will just have to wait and see.
That about sums up MSU basketball fans as a whole because there weren't many in the stands either
Unfortunately, we are not a basketball school. Even when we were preseason good, no one shows up against a directional school and if they do, its going to be just sitting there and zero involvement in the game.
Now....get us a preseason baseball game in the fall against no one and there's outrage if it isnt streaming.
I was there. We played well. NW State is one of the worst 3-4 teams we will play this year. We should beat Jackson State on Monday and then our season really begins with the Xavier game next Friday night.
I was at the game and this was my take away as well. On the inevitable nights we are cold shooting from the perimeter, how are we going to score?
I like the 6 total turnovers. I realize the competition wasn't stiff but early in the season and playing that many players 6 total turnovers is pretty good.
It’s just hard to care about cupcake basketball games when we’ve still got 4 football games remaining. Interest in Mississippi State basketball before New Years has always been mostly nonexistent.
I think Reed can be a good player by the end of the year, but he’s not quite ready yet. Seems a little timid. But he definitely looks the part and like someone who could have a really good career if he develops.
