Basketball Starts Tonight

[ArcherSPS]

What's the Pack looking for with the squad? What's your hopes for it? What will get your piss hot for hoops?

 

[stateu1]

I'd just like to be in the tourney discussion for most of the season.

Take care of business in the pre-sec slate and the conference schedule should take shape.

 

[MSUDC11]

Want a convincing win tonight. Norfolk State lost its exhibition game to Virginia State.

Ask me again how I feel about this team after the Charleston tournament next weekend. Anything better than 1-2 there is awesome, but going 0-3 would be disappointing.

 

[Shmuley]

Slightly OT: I looked at the class rankings last night. WTF is going on in Tuscaloosa? Is that class for real?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Avery can bring in talent but can he coach them? That is yet to be determined for him in college. A better question is what is going on in Bowling Green Kentucky? Stans got a number 11 class.

 

[MSUDC11]

We aren't the only ones recruiting lights out in the SEC. Everyone laughed at the Avery Johnson hire but he turned out to be a fantastic recruiter. So did Antoine Pettway (now an assistant at Bama).

Pearl has been doing the same thing at Auburn.

SEC Basketball is about to be fun again.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I don't know, but that's a rivalry I'd love to matter again.

The Stansbury/Gottfried era was a good time.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

According to OM graphic I saw on Twitter, they have a "star studded" class. They reaching mighty hard on that one.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

3 of them are from Alabama, 1 from Georgia. Not that far fetched.

 

[MSUDC11]

I am not convinced that Woodard is an absolute slam dunk next year just because I know Bama is going to make us work for him.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Anything less than a national championship is unacceptable.

An SEC title would be good too.

Yo, Howland... iB is watching. That's all I'm sayin.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Three minutes into the new year and we're ALREADY losing to Nickles State!!1!

What a waste of a season! Fire Howlandz!1!!!1

That right? ***

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

We definitely look like a team full of freshmens right now.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

offense looks good, we need to get some easier baskets tho. Defense is a problem, I'm guess Norfolk is pretty experienced tho so I'm sure they know how to play basketball.

 

[tatedog]

Looks like college basketball has evolved into a 40 minute free throw shooting contest.-- and thank goodness Norfolk isn't good at them.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Just jacking up 3s man. ***

 

[1msucub]

We look...not good.

And these officials are awful.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

So many fouls. ***** crazy

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Lucky to be tied at the half. Good little comeback. Gotta get some easier buckets in the 2nd

 

[tatedog]

John Cohen definitely has his work cut out for him at halftime.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Ready has really grown into a solid player.

 

[pDigital32Dawg]

If there is one thing that Stricklin absolutely botched as our AD, it was men's basketball. He tore down the in game atmosphere to say the least. Compared to the stansbury days, its almost like a funeral in here at the Hump tonight. Time for Cohen to make the Hump great again

//The donut bacon cheeseburger was a step in the right direction.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Damn thought we were about to pull away. Kids from Norfolk are scrappy as hell. Need Ready and spoon to keep these guys settled.

 

[tatedog]

This feels eerily like the Southern game last season.

 

[aTotal360]

Take a shot every time you hear "coaches son". Dare ya.

 

[tatedog]

But he only has 3 tools.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Whew that was a close one. I'll take it. Good win.

 

[Shamoan]

Without Cohen eyeballing howland, we would have lost. Keep the mojo going Cohen.
