Huge win

[Curby]

Rebounding was the difference. I love this team.

It's fun to actually be interested in a MSU basketball game for a change. That was fun to watch.

I like it too. Get a pretty bad TAM squad on Saturday. A W puts us 3-1 with Kentucky coming to town. Hopefully our fans show up on Saturday, because that would be back to back nice crowds for Howland's crew. Would be big for the program, IMO.

I wish we weren't so reliant on the 3 ball.

Excellent win against a projected tournament team on the road.

VERY big win early on the road against a good opponent in the SEC.

Never thought we had a chance coming into this one. Hard to not get a bit woolly watching the young guys make plays. Peters gets better every game.

We aren't.

I wish we weren't so reliant on the 3 ball.

our movement allows us to shoot threes.

Need a big crowd Saturday. Told myself if we won tonight I would make the drive Saturday.

Holman has been a beast lately. Gerard is trying. If we could give a consistent effort on D and in the boards we are fun to watch.

It took us winning

tonight for you to go Saturday?

this is why msu will never be relevant, folks.

Really dude? I don't have season tickets and live 2 hours away. Go 17 yourself because I'm sure you're at every home game

Herard puts Holman at the 4 which really helps his game.

A few things

1. This team has swag. They are starting to realize it. There are bumps along the way, but this team is fun to watch. We will lose a few more we shouldn't and we will win a few more like tonight. The consistency will hit next year.

2. The move to playing Herard and moving Holman to the 4 has made all the difference. It allows Q and Holman to play in their natural spots and frees Mario up to slash/athlete.

3. IJ is always the first to get bashed....I don't know why. He played his role to perfection in the second half...especially when Peters missed the middle stretch.

4. Arkansas made several clutch baskets to creep back in the game....and we always answered.

5. Stapleton is the real deal on the defensive end. He reminds me so much of the role Shaun Livingston plays with GST (hit mid range shots, make uncharted plays, defend). Their games are slightly different...but their roles resemble one another.

I'll end this post by stating the obvious, but Lamar Peters has a chance to become a legitimate star.

I was very impressed with the way we kept our poise in the second half on the road and answered every Arkansas basket. Hannahs hit about 3 or 4 big 3-pointers to cut the lead and get the crowd into it and we responded every time. This young team is growing up.

First back to back SEC road wins in 6 years.

Of

course, Einstein. Why wouldn't I be? It's a Saturday conference game at home.
