I never felt we would win this but damn...

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

This second half is pathetic from everyone.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Against a physical team, we fold like a cheap suit.

Maybe we will break 45 points. Maybe.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

We get blown out by elite teams on the road. Nothing new here.

 

[MSUDC11]

We’re a first weekend of the dance team. Might be good enough to win one game in the tourney, but no real threat to get to the Sweet 16 or farther.

I also don’t like how much we celebrated getting the 9th conference win against Mizzou. It felt like we were saying “mission accomplished” with three games left on the schedule. It was as if the goal was only to get in and not to get the best seed possible. I don’t like that. We’re a home loss on Saturday away from being on the 8 seed line instead of a 5 or 6 seed like we were a week ago.

Yep! The only chance was whether our two freshmen could contribute against their bigs. This isn't much different from last season if I remember right. Our post play is just too weak to take on a front line as Tenn has.

Add Scofield eating our lunch from the outside and we never stood a chance on senior night.

I wonder if UTexas wishes they had not run Rick off.

 

[Xenomorph]

We won't get put out on Thursday as long as we don't play til Friday.

 

[anon1787432961]

I've determined we are not a 1 or 2 seed

 

[DoomSlayer]

If we follow the season script we will win the first game, lose the second. I don’t think we have any shot at beating a 2 or a 3 seed.

 

[skydawg1]

I'm sure what they really regret doing is hiring "flavor of the month" Shaka Smart after they ran Barnes off.

I hate to disappoint your piss on the Dawgs party but we will win Saturday and still have had a good season considering where we have been.

We should have beaten Auburn. We were never going to beat Tenn tonight. I am sorry that finally having a winning SEC record offended you that much.

Feel free to jump off the wagon.

These Tea Sippers cannot get out of their own way when it comes to coaching. They might have gotten lucky with the new football coach, time will tell, but they really shot their own feet when they ran Rick off.

I'm a big fan of their Baseball coach, fwiw. On a smaller scale, it's akin to Stansbury leaving here and us hiring RR, but RR was then, and still now, a nobody loser coach. At least Smart has his day in the sun.

Let's talk next year after Barnes doesn't have Williams and Schofield. He's a less than average coach. His whole career.

Why would we have a “mission accomplished” attitude in a game that was 2 wins after the actual win that basically landed us in the dance, which was over UGA? I think you are reading too much into things. Our seed hasn’t taken the slightest of hits from the past 2 games. A win over A&M and one in Nashville will lock up the 6 for us.

 

[Allday.sixpack]

Efforts like tonight is why the home attendance is horrible. You can’t be sure what kind of product your paying for.

 

[She Mate Me]

Less than average. Top 25 in career wins, 23 (24 now) NCAA tourneys is now "less than average".

Okey-dokey.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Hell, he recruited those guys. He saw talent when others didn’t. That’s part of being coach, or you think he just got lucky?

I wouldnt count on UT dropping off anytime soon. If you think he’s been less than average his whole career... eh, I’m having trouble not insulting you. Let’s just say you are very wrong.

 

[anon1787432961]

Look at all the success Kermit has had the last 3 games. Helluva coach.

That's Barnes next year.

He's top 25 on wins list because he's been coaching since world war 1

Tenn is an NIT team next year

 

[Lazy Lightning]

This attitude is piss poor. The team is 21-9 and probably a NCAA 6 seed. No other team in the last 10 years have even been close to this good. This is just an excuse and a bad one. Also some of you are acting like these tickets are 100s of $. Goh, I have been able to score tickets this year for like $7.00 on stubhub. Even if they loose, it’s a great deal.

State fans act as if it’s the 13th loss in a row, and Rick Ray is still the coach.

Doubling down on an ignorant comment doesn't make it less ignorant. The record speaks for itself and calling Barnes a less than average coach was ignorant.

24 trips to the NCAA tourney at 4 different schools. After this year he will have led 4 different programs to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances.

He became a head coach in 1987-88. WWI ended in 1918. Just missed by 70 years (I know you meant that to be funny, but it wasn't).

Why don’t you have season tickets, sport? Buying tickets on stubhub doesn’t support our athletic programs, Mr. Super Fan.

The university has plenty of money. I don’t feel bad for getting secondary tickets. Especally considering they will be getting my tuition money this fall. The excuses of why people don’t show up to games are Just weak. Excuses like the “team doesn’t play hard” are just pure fair weather fan garbage. The fans giving up after every time state looses is embarrassing really.

So in other words, your excuses are acceptable but nobody else’s is. That’s what I figured...just wanted it for the record.

 

[MSUDC11]

Never expected to win this game and I know that stinkers happen but forgive me if I’m not OK with us getting embarrassed in an opportunity game against a really good team.

We’re safely in the tournament and we will probably win Saturday and then win at least one in Nashville. But I don’t see us doing much more than that.

In basketball and football we are like the fat kid on the playground. Get beat up by the bully then go dfind a little kid to kick the crap out of to restore our honor.

Tennessee also loses Cliff Alexander the 7 footer that blocked about 5 shots and had a couple transition dunks on us last night. They should have a big drop off next year.
