Official Game Thread: MSU vs Clemson.

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Two Freshmen starting.

Big props to Ado for graduating today and being the first from his family to do so.

 

[Seinfeld]

Liking the defensive energy so far. Half court offense is leaving a little to be desired, but that was pretty well expected. They’ll improve

 

[o_dawgnabit]

I like Tolu Smith so far. Guy is very physical

 

[Moe Cabelle]

I really like the flow already. Some of the new faces look solid so far. I think we’d all take a win over Clemson to start a season with minimal expectations.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

I thought it started at 7:30, so I missed the first 8 minutes where nobody is in double digits.

So many new faces.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

And the smith kid looks solid with the ball.

 

[mstateglfr]

We are as bad as FTs as Clemson is at 3pters.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Arg. After a reasonably quick start, I’m hoping we just got our typical 10 minute drought out of the way early.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

Love the defensive effort so far.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Howland ball just sucks!

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Looks like a typical Howland team... 0-6 from the FT line and 3 fouls on Ado

 

[DAWG61]

That's what the listed start time was. Guess the media needed a preseason too.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Is that BWalkers cousin coaching for Clemson?

 

[oh yeah]

We still need a shooter.

 

[kired]

Each of the three little pigs could build a house with the bricks thrown up by both teams in this first half.

 

[DAWG61]

Why'd Molinar not make the trip? They said it wasn't a discipline issue.

 

[rezdawg]

Where's Molinar?

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Not a single free throw has been made in the game. Out of 11 tries. Almost all of them ours.

 

[rezdawg]

Howland ball just sucks!

Yeah I miss those late Stans teams, and RR's!, you suck!

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Money! 1-10 now

 

[kired]

Didn’t travel - said it was not a disciplinary issue

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Not a single free throw has been made in the game. Out of 11 tries. Almost all of them ours. 

I don’t remember Ben Howland coaching a good FT shooting team. Even last year we had struggles.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I think Ingomar has a couple of basketball players better than some of these guys.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I know our guys our young and inexperienced, and will get better.

But that was as tough a half of basketball as I’ve ever watched.

 

[DoomSlayer]

It was brutal. I checked out the last 5 minutes. I’m gonna try to watch the 2nd half, may need some Brandy to make it though.

 

[MSUDC11]

It’s one half but so far we appear to have little outside shooting. Molinar will help but it’s obvious we don’t look comfortable taking jumpers.

In other words, this might be a pretty bad offensive team. Going to have to win with defense.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

We just aren’t an offense school

 

[Seinfeld]

I’m really having to talk myself into watching the 2nd half. That was just.... bad

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Not having Molinar hurts really badly. We have no shot creators and no shot makers. Throw in no point guard or chemistry, and you get this mess.

Gotta have somebody step up and make some shots otherwise it’s gonna be a looooooong year.

Woof

Lets hope we do the opposite.

That looked like ****.

 

[patdog]

Yeah I miss those late Stans teams, and RR's!, you suck!

Yeah, I miss the days of being .500 or better in the SEC 6 years in a row with 2 NCAAT bids. And an actual NCAAT win.

[8dog]

Has DJ Stewart hit the rim? This is awful.

 

[patdog]

From what I've seen so far, he looks like our best player.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Yeah, I miss the days of being .500 or better in the SEC 6 years in a row with 2 NCAAT bids. And an actual NCAAT win.

Stans was basketballs version of McKeen.

 

[rezdawg]

Low bar, it's not Howland, he's done much better, put two in the NBA last week. It must be ****** fans like you.

 

[DoomSlayer]

Clemson starting to warm up a bit. We need to find some reliable scoring quick or this one could get out of hand.

 

[patdog]

It is a low bar. But still a lot higher than anything we've seen since then. But yeah, it’s my fault. **

 

[Shmuley]

That’s some putrid offense.
