Must-Win Game #5 Thread

[Dawgcap]

Course a few won say it but we are battling. Not backing down.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Dont turn it back now.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Lol I CANT.

 

[Dawgcap]

Hell yeah!! What a effort to rally!!

 

[She Mate Me]

18 point leads ain't what they once were.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Just exactly how Howland drew up the 1st Half to go. 11-5 lead, 24-2 run by opponent, 27-11 run by State

 

[Ralph Cramden]

I'm amazed. This team is hard to read ....or watch

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

I dont think its us. He is like a damn peacock though, it just depends on who has the ball when he wants to strut

 

[tenureplan]

We were mugged at the basket a handful of times.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

On occasion

Bi-Polar.

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

Plowed under. Mugging would have been more gentle

 

[Dawgcap]

Time to fight for a tournament spot. Biggest 20 minutes upcoming

 

[57stratdawg]

Not great defensive efforts out of the half..

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

they 17ED Perry there. Dude never stopped moving.

We are not going to get any favors tonight.

 

[57stratdawg]

Don’t think they’ve missed this half..

 

[57stratdawg]

Rebound! We’ve been lazy rebounded tonight

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

I just cannot see how Woodard with those stone hands is even on the NBA radar. The lack of focus standing under the goal is unfathomable.

 

[Go Budaw]

Dunk the damn ball Ado. My god.

 

[Dawgtruc]

Rebound! We’ve been lazy rebounded tonight

That, and turnovers gets you killed on the road every time.

 

[hailstate19]

We unfortunately don’t have any 3 point shooters. That is killing us this season.

 

[Dawgcap]

We will win this game. Trust!

 

[Bulldogg31]

We will win this game. Trust!

Yeah, I’m not seeing it but hope you’re right.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Playing defense and finding their shooters instead of putting up prayer hoping they miss might actually help to. Every time we scored, in the last 4 minutes, they scored on the other end and then when we missed they also scored and got fouled.

We would have been better off fouling them every trip and getting us more possessions.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Watching that offensive set, there ain’t no want to out of these Dogs.

 

[Go Budaw]

We unfortunately don’t have any 3 point shooters. That is killing us this season.

Just because we don’t shoot 3’s all that great doesn’t mean we had to give up a 24-2 run in the first half. Just like TBone said, game was over at that point. You can’t play that poorly for that long of a stretch in any must win game for a tourney at-large spot.

 

[Bulldogg31]

I think they’re tired. South Carolina plays 11 guys and they play a really physical game. We play 6 or 7 guys and that’s about it.

 

[cowbell88]

The NIT is calling

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

Too much talent to be living like this.

Do not know how you fix it in-game though. Sucks to lose. Glad I got to see them one more time in person.

 

[Dawgcap]

Got straight *** whipped second half.

 

[MSUDC11]

I think we need two Q1 wins in Nashville now.

 

[She Mate Me]

I honestly have had a hard time watching this team live all year. There is a lot of talent, but they simply do not value possessions and their lapses on D absolutely cost them games. Those seemingly little things make them a very individually talented NIT caliber team.

 

[hailstate19]

Just because we don’t shoot 3’s all that great doesn’t mean we had to give up a 24-2 run in the first half. Just like TBone said, game was over at that point. You can’t play that poorly for that long of a stretch in any must win game for a tourney at-large spot.

It was a 2 point game at the half. That not true at all.

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

If those individuals decide to show out in the NIT

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

They are as ****** as we are and can't putting someone away either.

Guess we out-Shittied them in the 2nd half.

 

[Dawgcap]

Say what you want but USCE played ball tonight. Aggressive d. Battles through foul calls but never changes defensive aggressiveness. Maybe they keep being physical until refs get tired of calling it.
Not saying the refs are the only reason but I do think they keep playing the same way no matter the calls.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

I think we need two Q1 wins in Nashville now.

Man I got to admire your positivity. I suspect this team will lose the 1st game they play in Nashville. Then Reggie Perry will sit out the NIT to get ready for the NBA.

 

[PineGroveBully]

So glad friggin Lurch is a senior

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Scap is what they did, this is what marginal tournament teams do,

We have earned what we get.

 

[MSUDC11]

I didn’t say they would get two Q1 wins, just that they need them.

I think this has 2010 written all over it. We get knocked out by Kentucky in a heartbreaker Saturday and then are an NIT one or two seed.

 

[Go Budaw]

It was a 2 point game at the half. That not true at all.

And it would have been us up by 15 and cruising to a victory if we didn’t hit that big of a dry spell in the middle of the first half. We outplayed them for probably 33 of the 40 minutes tonight and still lost by 12. That’s how damaging that run was. You can’t let a team light you up to the tune of 24-2., at any point in the game, and expect to win on the road in the SEC. It will never happen.
