Basketball team looks lost without Q.

[benatmsu]

Down 6 to Lehigh.
Somebody's going to have to step up big time.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Kegler is gonna have to be the guy. Not sure he is ready though.

 

[Philly Dawg]

We are playing a three guard lineup but can't make outside shots, which isn't a recipe for success.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Can't make shots because they're all contested. Not getting easy baskets has been a problem so far this young season. Not much driving and kicking out to open shooters, it's all passes along the perimeter then shoot contested 3.

Quick shots. They have to learn every pass fake, shot fake, cut, screen, etc has to be done with 100% effort or it's useless.

 

[SouthFarmchicken]

It was just gonna be an "ok" year with Q...now it's gonna be a LONG year without him. We are gonna be much worse than last year.

In Cannizaro we trust!

 

[Philly Dawg]

We've had good enough looks from the perimeter. If we start making some, we can get back in this.

 

[Seinfeld]

Sirmon must coach D in basketball too because we have abosolutely no clue how to get in front of somebody

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

We've had good enough looks from the perimeter. If we start making some, we can get back in this.

I disagree, and the numbers support that. Lots of 3s in the first half were taken off the dribble even without a pass.

 

[civildawg88]

It's really disturbing that howland is a defensive coach and we are so bad at defense. I mean we are just letting people get to the basket with no effort

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

It may just be me, but it does not look like the guys play hard on offense and defense. Not that they're not trying, but they have to be in that extra gear at all times at this level.

 

[57stratdawg]

This team wasn't very good with him.

 

[MSUDC11]

We were still a year away with Q. So day one without Q against a decent team is not really a surprise.

 

[hailstate19]

This sucks. I hate saying next year is the year. This is Basically a repeat of last year and it sucks

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Then you're prolly really gonna hate hearing that it's more likely the year after next they really compete for a conference championship and go deep into the tourney

 

[mount lefroy]

This sucks. I hate saying next year is the year. This is Basically a repeat of last year and it sucks

No, its not. In any way.

 

[hailstate19]

I just want to see this team to be considered as a bubble team. 2012 was forever ago and that was the last time we were actually decent. We have been terrible since and that sucks. 2009 was the last NCAA tournament appearance for the Bulldogs and at the time I really thought we would make the tournament every few years. 2010 we totally got screwed out of the tournament. What a bunch of BS that was.

What i witnessed tonight is one of the reasons basketball is such a great sport. Only in rare occations can you "out talent" a team. A team with decent ball discipline, movement and an average to good chemistry will smoke another more talented team without those.

Im not happy about the loss, but there is much to look forward to by seasons end and next season.

 

[hailstate19]

No, its not. In any way.

Well, we will probably wind up winning around the same amount of games or maybe even less and we won't make even the NIT. so yes in a way it will be a lot like last season.

 

[The Peeper]

Our inside men got schooled tonight, lots of uncontested baskets and put backs inside.
