Very early against a crap opponent but I've seen some things I haven't seen in a while from the transfers.

Nice start

Watching on a phone but Brooks looks like a little taller LRob out there...

Do my eyes deceive me or does #14 of North Alabama have a man bun?

I just turned it on and got about two minutes of game time and I like the fact that we're playing defense against north Alabama like we should be playing defense against north Alabama.

It looks like we definitely have some energy, some athleticism, and surprisingly a good attitude and hustle playing defense.

Surely if you shot free throws as bad as Davis last year, you would shoot thousands in the off season to improve.

My dog just left the room.

Someone please show her the clean cool water of Echols at half time where she can quench her thirst

Damn guys we’re playing U N Alabama!
Get back to me when we’re competing against the UAB types and mid pack SEC, beating UMiss 2-2 regular season.
That would be a start.

Not a great ending to the 1rst half. Might be a few growing pains. Can’t help but be optimistic though.

It wouldn’t be Howland coached game without a 4 min scoring drought and 4 pressed shotclock “clunks”
I see we still practice this fire drill.

And that is exactly why we're not ranked. We got a Lotta big unknowns on this team. We still have trouble with free throws, we still take too many jump shots, and we're still trying to figure out how to play with each other since we have so many new players.

I'm hoping they put it together by the middle of January at least I'm seeing a lot more possibility of this year's team especially their defense.

*except on the perimeter.

UNA is playing their *** off but it will end soon they don't have enough depth to keep running like this.

For an 11 minute stretch of game time UNA was whipping our *** by 17 points.

That's kinda ridiculous with the disparity in talent level.

If we don't find 2 or 3 people who can make baskets for us after this game we're gonna have a long season. I don't know if it's opening night nervousness or what I hope it is but I got a bad feeling we still don't have anybody who can stick the ball in the damn basket.]

It is really GD ridiculous that we can't make free throws I'm really tired of that one.

And if you want to score against our team are you Gotta do is drive down to GD middle of the Lane.

North Alabama is well coached but we should be running them out of the gym.

That was really funny little skinny boy I thought he was gonna block Cameron Matthews from a dunk. I wonder if Cameron can catch a pass or kick a field goal?

This MSU team has at least 3 professional players on it.

Unfortunately I’ve been watching this same team for …8 years now?

We will win the games we should win….and lose some we should not. We will not upset anyone.

We will finish 2 games over 500 in SEC, good enough for 4th place….8 seed in Tournament. We will win the first game at buzzer to a mid major and then lose to UCLA by 24 points in 2nd round. That’s what the data says.

3 minutes left in the game and we haven't scored a point that wasn't a dunk, layup or FT since the very beginning of the 2nd Half. I hope that's an aberration.
