Do we owe Herard an apology? He's starting to look like he's actually played organized basketball before.

Huh? You not watching the game?

 

[57stratdawg]

I'm actually not, but listening to it. But hell, he couldn't stay on the court in November for fouls.

Long way to go offensively, but he's at least showing some flashes on d and rebounding.

Yea that's true. Wish you coulda seen this hook shot he tried.

 

[Utah_Chaney]

Herard is coming around. I think even just the awareness of him there is opening up Holman and letting him pick it up.

 

[Talldawg21]

Howland coaching his tail off, acting like another defender on the bench

 

[Lettucexxxx]

Ha, what game are yall watching?

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Shamoan says howland doesn't know Xs and Os tho, so this can't be right

 

[DawgatAuburn]

It looked like the toss on the opening tip.

Lmao looked like he shot putted that mofo

20 down, 20 to go.

We had that lull where the last four years we would have bent over and taken it. Tonight we fought out of it and regained the lead. If not for a terrible IJ turnover in the last minute we would be up 8 and would have had a shot at double digits.

We need to keep rebounding well and not giving them many second shots. Hope that we keep finding the hot hand when it is hot. Early it was Q, then Peters, then no one, then Q again. It would be great to get a couple of big shots from Tyson this half. Might be enough to put us over the top.

Wife said we must be doing better because I have not cussed as much.

Herad and Holeman trying to rebound and play defense.

Peters and Q keeping the offense moving.

I love IJ's effort but his turnovers and defense will be the death of me. He needs to figure out what he can and cannot do on offense and move his feet on defense.

I expected us to be down big at half to be honest but this is not your Daddy's Arkansas crowd.

 

[Son_of_34]

Haven't been real excited for Men's BBall lately

But dammit WW2 got me excited for next year

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Can someone put a hand in #3 face before he shoots?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

huh? Everytime the ball goes into him, he takes that dribble and things go into slow motion.

 

[diggidydog]

4 on Kingsley, take it right at him next time down.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Hey! He's gonna shoot it guys.

Holeman and Herad still playing well down low.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

This is tense man

 

[diggidydog]

IJ has played a great game. This is his role, shoot no more than 5 shots all in close, defend, and distribute.

No, no that can't be right either. Everybody knows IJ sucks*****

 

[SyonaraStanz]

That wasn't going in

 

[diggidydog]

If Keglar can find his stroke while crashing the boards at the same time we could be dangerous.

 

[engie]

Is the ceiling for our program still NIT next year? Asking for a friend*

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Great 17ing win. Howland is starting to reap some fruit and ****

 

[diggidydog]

This is how you put butts in the seats at the Hump.

 

[Shamoan]

I think we both know you are being disingenuous with that characterization. Just link it for everyone.

great team win and as usual, howland pressed all the right personnel buttons. Not easy to do, but he seems to be the master.

You denying you said that? I'm def not gonna look that **** up. Rambis saw the post you said it in.

He did play good down the stretch.

He also did make some ugly turnovers early and play sparse defense early.

 

[Utah_Chaney]

Fun game to watch.

Stapleton with the 8 pts/7 boards was impressive too. He was contributing a good bit.

He plays with an edge. I like him a lot.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Owe him an apology for what, clown?

He's an extremely talented, raw freshman. Anyone giving up on him (those owing him an apology) don't know wtf they're talking about.

 

[Shamoan]

that fade away off-court shot almost behind the backboard air-ball was a great idea. IMO, he forces too much and plays poor defense for stretches. He is a good option as a backup.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Or you could not be

a band-wagoner and listen to us that told y'all that we are extremely talented and to start supporting the club.

 

[diggidydog]

I missed some of the first half. I liked his play in the second. Made some steals and didn't shoot. Got the ball to our shooters which we actually have now. Where was Tyson Carter tonight? He hardly played.

He hit a 3, I think Stapleton has taken a lot of his minutes. Rightfully so.

Here it is

http://forums.sixpackspeak.com/show...ok-like-a-pushover/page2&p=1293219&highlight=

I was was asking a legitimate question, and if you read everything, I was quite completely of howland at times:

direct quote:

"Howland is already a great coach and nothing he does at msu will change that fact. Not claiming to be the greatest basketball mind either (no **** said the congregation), just wondering what he is actively scheming to make an impact for us today and yes I know we are the youngest team of all time."

Also, a thread in which you suggested that I want howland fired...again, something that wasn't even remotely suggested. Look, I don't wanna argue all night....certainly not on a night that we had a huge road win, but some errantly interpret questioning coaching moves as wanting someone fired. Nick Saban is the best in the game, and if I was a bama fan, I would question several of his decisions from last night. It wouldn't mean I wanted the man fired.

 

[diggidydog]

I saw that. Was a huge shot at the time. His first points. Didn't play much. I like Stapletons athleticism but Carter can shoot and I think is just a basketball player. X seems a little out of control.n wants to show off how high he can jump.

 

[KurtRambis4]

You certainly

questioned his X's and O's, which is laughable. No response needed.

 

[Shamoan]

Questioned would be a reasonable characterization. I think that is fair, but I didn't say he doesn't know X's and O's.
