Peters makes 3 more FT’s than he did the last time he got fouled from 3. I’ll take it.

We have defended well thus far tonight after playing our best SEC defensive game of the year Saturday against Kentucky

Playing well right now. Let’s keep a foot on their throat and not allow a run to finish the half.

When Ado drives the lane for the old fashioned 3 point play, you know it’s been a good half.

Nice finish to the half. Good to see them ready to play after what had to be two gut wrenching losses.

I get so tired of people sitting on their asses at home complaining about the crowd or lack thereof at the basketball games. If it bothers you so much, maybe you should be at the game instead of complaining about the other people that aren't there. I have been to most of the games this year and I would be there tonight if I wasn't at home sick. However, I can understand why people that live more than an hour away from Starkville can't be there on a night before their kids have to go to school or they have to go to work. An 8:00 p.m. tipoff makes it really hard for them. The collective members of the conference made a decision several years ago that they had rather have television viewers than fans in the stands. Otherwise, there wouldn't be 11:00 a.m. football kickoffs in August-October, and there wouldn't be late start times for basketball games played during the week.

Pretty crucial spot here up 9 with 8 to play. Be nice to not have another game in doubt with 2 to play. We haven't been good at all in photo finishes in the SEC.

ETA very nice D for the 6-0 run. Make'em quit!!

We are playing great D, rebounding well, hitting free throws. We keep this up

And the Hump will be rocking again. This team is capable of doing some good things in March.

We have a very good opportunity to go on a five-game winning streak. We’ve had a brutal SEC schedule so far and it finally lightens up a little bit.

I LOVE this team.

** kind of... but really, I do love them right now but I mean, they are going to let me down sooner rather than later...right?

It's gotten to the point that the only minutes Holman needs to get are to rest RP or dare I see Ado? Holman brings so little to the team on any given night the last 15 games or so

He has confidence issues but I loved his defensive effort tonight and made a nice pass to set up for free throws. I think we really need him to make a run and I agree with Howland playing him. I hope it clicks for Holman because he adds a dimension other teams can’t compete with if he’s engaged. To me Holman is the key to a great run

Yup. He single handedly kills our runs. We have chances to go on 12-2 type runs then he has 2 bad defensive possessions and a brick that turns our run into 10-6. Question is: why does coach love this guy?

Because he’s played under Howland all 4 years and is a senior?

Prediction:

Holman’s game will re-emerge in the next five or six games. He was very effective early in the year against bad teams, but hasn’t matched up against the better competition.

Reminds me of our wide receivers that absolutely go off against Stephen F Austin then can’t catch a cold against Bama or LSU.

That’s why you try and keep him in the rotation. Play him based on defense effort and add playing time as he gets his confidence back. If it happens we could get nasty. I agree with Howland he is the guy to help us reach the next level.

I do think Peters staying hot and getting Holman to contribute to rotation is the difference in a first round exit and a sweet 16 run. I agree it's confidence but when you are losing PT to a freshman as a senior and your most comfortable move is the 22' three-ball it's hard to ever regain his confidence. His passing is probably his 1 effective tool he has working right now.

I agree but last year he didn’t have this problem offensively. Something happened. Can he get it back? I don’t know but in limited minutes and a defensive effort like he gave tonight I think it’s imperative we give him the opportunity to get out of this funk. He’s actually turning down shots now. Play him some and let him know you trust him to make the shot. Can’t remember a guy as hesitant to shoot as he now. I think Howland has to press him to be a player on both ends. If he continues to shrink from the moment then sit him.
