Really bad loss, no other way around it
- Thread starter MSUDC11
- Start date
I'm convinced this program is cursed. Just when we start to buy into them, this happens. That last couple minutes was unacceptable
Man I miss the days when we dominated Ole Miss in basketball. I think Stans was something like 21-7 against them.
Second time in six weeks that we have flat out given away a game to an inferior UM team. Embarrassing. I’m 17ing sick. 0-13 from three in the second half and most of them were wide *** open. We shot .500 from the free throw line and gave away an 11 point second half lead. They are horrible but we handed it to them. Only 58 points on that defense is an embarrassment.
It really takes talent or rather lack thereof to blow a 14 pt lead to a team as offensively inept as OM has been today. For a roster full of 4-star players, you’d think one of them would know how to close a game. No one on our team including has a clue
1 for 8 in last 4 minutes and something like 0 for 13 from 3 in 2nd Half is not really in game coaching fixable.
Your stupid if you believe that. We havent ahot 3’s well all season and yet we keep jacking them up. Hows that not on howland? Ole miss comes out in a 1-3-1 and we look like we have never seen it before even though they run it every game. GTFO
You look for open threes when you see a zone. We got tons of them and missed every one. Even for us that's not normal, you don't tell them to quit shooting them. We lost because we shot like ****, not because a coach who's won a ton of games and been to multiple Final Fours can't coach anymore. It's laughable the meltdown that goes on after a loss here.
No, it's not. I guess all the coaches on here think Howland shouldn't have let them shoot any threes in the first half when we were 5-10 or at the end of the Arky game.
This thread will collect all the finest college bball minds the world has ever known here to explain (or not) how to fix bad shooting.
You make adjustments in the game if youre hot, keep shooting. If you're 0fer then you set up other plays to get looks going to the basket
Roughly paraphrasing Jimmy Dykes.
“Stapleton thinks he’s a better 3 pt shooter than he is”
thats is the understatement of the year... he was quite the standout today.

You fix bad shooting by not letting the bad shooters, shoot it.
We have 4 guys that should do our 3point shooting. Carter, Nick, Q and Carter.
Stapleton is our Kegler of last year. Just can't get right.
Lamar plays like a bench globetrotter...
Ado looked lost in the second half. I'll concede that to his foul trouble.
i love the fact that we have 7 players who could go get 20 on any given night, I'd just rather let our guards shoot the outside shot. We need Stapleton and Aric under the goal retrieving the bricks.
We are not a three point shooting team. Why do you think AK stayed in a zone? Some fans can keep living in Howland’s past all they want, he could have won 4 championships for all I care, what he did today was a piss poor coaching job.

So, to be clear, we are not a 3 pt shooting team means we should not shoot threes at all. Let's do that the next five games and just see how it goes. If that's not what you mean, then what do you mean?
Holman is our best 3 shooter this year and Peters shot 37% last year and probably hasn't completely forgotten how to shoot forever. Should they just not shoot them at all?
When the game is on the line, I want Q, Carter and Nick taking every shot. Every single shot.
With the game on the line vs Ark...Nick and Q took over.
Tonight, with game on the line, we had non poised players making non poised plays. If we wanna close out a game, give it to our closer. Spoons.
Lamar nor Stapleton need to be anywhere near the ball the last two minutes of a close game. Ever. Never Ever.

It's gonna take a player to step up and be a damn leader. Someone who is going to demand accountability and work ethic. These players should take it personal that everyone is counting them out, talking about how bad they are. If i were on that team and had the athletic ability. I would be on the court every single day shooting 1000 shots every day and demand the others to do the same. Victoria Vivians could out shoot any of these players on this team right now. I bet there's at least three on the girls team that could out shoot any of these guys. You guys, pull it together and demand perfection, team work, make it personal......
Basketball, my opinion, takes less brains to play than all other sports and we have recruited some very low basketball IQ players. I'd really like to see a lesser star class if they can play within thier ears. I bet we just don't have a lot of basketball academic honor roll guys.
I’d say not taking 3s for 75% of your shots would be wise when you aren’t a good shooting team.
I suggest you rewatch the game with an open mind. The Spoons got outplayed tonight by their opposites and they had the ball plenty down the stretch. We got beat by a team that outplayed us down the stretch. We did it to Arky on Tuesday. It's going to happen both ways the rest of the year and every time we lose it does not mean our coach sucks.

True. We have talent, but seemingly can't do a 17ing thing with it because our coach plainly isn't very good schematically...at leased based on what I have seen in his years here. I've been told he is a great coach...at this point, he just looks like a solid recruiter.
Ill rewatch with an open mind but I suggest you watch with open eyes. If you can't see we were out coached tonight, I can't help you. I'll say, it wasn't just a coaching blunder, it was a collected effort of fail. When the game is on the line, you live and die with your best players.
We blew an SEC game on the road. This isn’t the first time and won’t be the last. We’ve got some things to clean up but let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. Both stans and Richard Williams had their share of head scratching losses. It happens.
