Missed two FT’s and a layup. But it was an ugly game that State lost and Ole Miss did not lose. Coach Jans is safe. I can’t believe that someone would even broach that subject.

Free Throws will make you or kill you. We missed 9 FT’s and I think a couple of them were front ends of a one and one in first half. So effectively 11 missed FT’s. Costly when you lose by one point.

Ugly game. Hubs misses two FT’s and a lay up. Fitting way to end the game.

Basketball version of the Egg, Part 1. Have no idea what will happen. Must win for State since it is at home. Both teams have been underwhelming for the most part of this year with a few sprinkles of good. Ole Miss is certainly riding some good momentum after a tremendous win at Georgia. State needs to figure how to sustain play for than 12 minutes. Obviously emotion comes into play during this game and crowd will certainly be a factor. With that Let’s Go Dawgs!!!

I know I am in the minority here but I just don’t think State is going to quite be at the level as we are being ranked. Most of the time the baseball gods find a way to stymie first year head coaches. Now I know that times are different and there is really no team development anymore. You just plunk guys out of the portal and try to sign some good HS players and keep them from going pro. And then it is a crapshoot during the season. I am definitely a O’Connor fan but I would advise our folks to pump the brakes a bit and let the team play some games and gel. And hopefully not jumping off the cliff when we lose some games early. I agree that I am surprised that Ole Miss is not ranked. I have always been a Coach Bianco fan and have never understood all criticism he gets from the Ole Miss folks. And ditto to Southern Miss. Just consistently good every year in baseball. They have a nice ball park in Pete Taylor Park and a solid loyal fan base.

Hard to understand. Play very well for about 12 minutes and build a 14 point lead. And then poof , the team just melts like the Wicked Witch of the West.

But as usual Kentucky is kryptonite to State. For the last 15 years they seem to play their best against us and we lose to them Like clockwork.

But they still have to finish. Miami is down there with Michigan as the two teams I dislike the most. So hope Indiana beats them to a pulp like they have Bama & Oregon.

Have to give props to Ohio State. They played Indiana to a 13-10 loss. That is looking better and better these days.

Cignetti is an excellent coach but I can see Indiana dropping back next year. Ole Miss will take a step back. Both will still be good. But given the new normal I can see football becoming more wide open in the years ahead. Few teams will be able to sustain any kind of dominance. If the playoff goes to 16, more teams will have an opportunity to be this year’s Indiana. There will be more flash in the pans and less sustained runs.

It was definitely DPI, but unfortunately it seldom gets called in that scenario. I wished Chambliss would have lofted the pass more. When he let go of it, I thought it was going to be too long. Basically they ran out of time. Needed about 15 more seconds.

And they won by 4. If you are Ole Miss I don’t think you can ask any more of your players. They left it all on the field. Heartbreaking loss. This was the opposite of bad game between two bad teams where one team loses and the other team does not lose the game. One team won this game and the other team did not win this game.

Agree. Also need to make NIL payable as an end of season bonus after the team has completed their entire season including bowl games.

Long way to go and I would say we need to win 11-12 conference games plus one-two tournament games to garner a bid. The SEC is a grind but the conference is not nearly as elite this year as last year. It is cliche but we have to take one game at a time. Feels good to be 2-0. It seems like that the last several years we have started out conference play poorly. And then had to scramble during the year to recover.

He is definitely the classic garbage player (and I mean that as a compliment) in that he is going to score about 4-6 points a game i. E. a rebound layup, a dunk on a broken play etc. but he plays excellent defense, rebounds and hustles 110%. A good complimentary player that every team needs.
